Fightful: Vanessa Borne set for move to Raw/SD

Fightful Select reports that Vanessa Borne has been called up to the main roster. Sources told them that she was actually called up back in January or February, which coincides with her being off NXT TV since then. But she still has yet to debut.

While she has been waiting to debut, she has since moved and WWE hasn’t regularly flown her back to TV tapings. Sources say her promotion was similar to Riddick Moss, who’s contract was due but was promoted to the main upon re-signing. Since her new deal, things have drastically changed in WWE due to Covid-19 and Fightful isn’t sure of her current status or what brand she was to debut on.

That’s random.

Yeah, sounds like one of those “Call up the person for a specific gimmick” things, as opposed to natural progression through the ranks.

[BatPunk]

I hope she turns up in The Swamp.

[DASH 243✅]

I won't be the same without Nigel marking out over her.

[Perd]

If you listen closely, you can already hear Vince giving up on her.

Care to tell the class what that gimmick actually is? I legit have no idea.

What happened to Bianca?

Imagine having the stacked NXT women’s division, many being some of the best workers of the last decade and deciding Vanessa Borne should get a call up.

Like, she’s fine but...she’s never gone beyond fine when I’ve seen her.

Also, yeah, Bianca’s been spending her time on Main Event for so long, I had to remind myself she is technically called up and on Main Event. Like, man, taking away Covid, they REALLY hurt her momentum, didn’t they? And she’s a homegrown talent!

[arrogantmodel]

Maybe she discovered her "identity," and gave them an "ultimatum" to either call her up or let her move on. 😉

That's even worse. I thought she might be shielding or something, not just unpushed on Main Event.

I thought Bianca would come in with a bang seeing she was presented so well in the Multi-Show PPV’s. I figured she could have a great feud with Sasha, Kairi and Ruby. But, being on Main Event is worse than not being called up at all.

So this year already Riddick Moss, Shayna Baszler, Bianca Belair, Shane Thorne and his larger friend, and allegedly Vanessa Borne, Chelsea Green and Dijak have all been called up, and none of them are on TV. This is hilariously on brand for WWE these days. Bonus points for Rob Gronkowski too.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

She looks alarmingly like my ex. Even a similar fashion sense, gimmick wise.

Weirdly enough when she watched she didn't like her at all.

[Deleted]

I actually like her, but this is indeed random as hell.

Maybe they can make her Tamina's kayfabe daughter!

[Jimmy John Mundo]

Oof. She is by far one of the worse wrestlers in NXT. I went to a couple of Florida loop house shows and she was just really bad and green. Way too early for a call up unless she’s just a manager

Neither do I. All I remember is that they road-tested some kind of dominatrix schtick at an NXT TV taping, then they re-taped the match later in the night without it and aired that instead.

Are you suggesting that she might be...Borne again?

Dijak was called up?
