An update on a top WWE NXT star potentially being called up to Raw or SmackDown in the ongoing ‘transfer window’.
Last week’s NXT New Year’s Evil show kicked off with the crowning of a new NXT Women’s Champion, when Giulia defeated Roxanne Perez to win the title, ending Roxanne’s reign at 276 days.
With Roxanne’s reign as champion ending, many had speculated that she could be on her way up to the main roster as part of the ongoing transfer window.
Tonight’s NXT show closed with Roxanne making an announcement about her future, where she said that the NXT women’s division wouldn’t be able to survive without her as the champion.
This brought out Bayley, who told Roxanne that the division would be fine without her due to the depth in talent, with Roxanne saying that Bayley was someone she used to look up to.
The segment ended with Bayley telling Roxanne that she would still be in NXT getting in her own way, while Bayley went on to WrestleMania as the WWE Women’s Champion after winning the title this Friday on SmackDown.
Roxanne would then throw a forearm at Bayley, with the two brawling to close the show.
The segment was seemingly setting up a future program and match between Roxanne and Bayley, which could serve as an avenue to move Roxanne onto the main roster.
Bayley wasn’t the only SmackDown star to return to NXT on tonight’s show, as current WWE Tag Team Champions DIY also appeared on the show, seemingly setting up a match against NXT Tag Team Champions Fraxiom.
What a moment. 🙌@itsBayleyWWE and @roxanne_wwe did not hold back! 👊#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/scene20lFt
