Five NXT Call-Ups Debut On WWE Raw

Five of the six promised NXT call-ups debuted on Raw.

The first was EC3, who was shown backstage waiting in a corridor to speak with Vince McMahon, along with several other members of the roster. EC3 was given the opportunity to speak to the backstage reporter but he declined, instead opting to stand in awkward silence.

Next up was Nikki Cross, who was the mystery partner of Natalya and Bayley in their victory over The Riott Squad. Nikki brought her usual high-intensity whirling dervish performance, which got her over immediately.

Immediately following the match, Lacey Evans was shown backstage dressed to the nines, hanging out by some production equipment and engaged in what appeared to be a riveting conversation with some of the other women on the roster.

Then during A Moment Of Bliss as Alexa Bliss was interviewing Paul Heyman, Otis Dozovic of Heavy Machinery turned up and started ranting and raving before he was pulled away by officials and partner Tucker Knight.

Nikki aside, this was a strange way to debut the talent, all told.
