Wasn't sure if this should be added to the existing Call-Up post or worthy of a new thread. So it’s post Mania season and people have been called up from NXT to the main roster. Even with no one rumored at the moment, it’s possible more could be in coming weeks or months. There are new arrivals to the PC who will possibly hit television quicker than in the past. And all the while there remain some from who have been in NXT for a bit. Some were repackaged. Some have benefited from a little success, some not.
I’ve counted 19 persons who are usually considered tenured or not 2.0 era. That’s still a decent amount of the roster even with new persons hitting television, usually via Level Up, faster than before. What do the denizens of this place make of these people’s futures? Main roster call-up or NXT lifer? Discuss, debate, debacle nicely.
Cameron Grimes
Cruz Del Toro
Dakota Kai
Dexter Lumis
Fabian Aichner
Ikemen Jiro
Indi Hartwell
Io Shirai (injured)
Drake & Gibson
Joaquin Wilde
Katana Chance
Kayden Carter
Alba Fyre/Kay Lee Ray
Roderick Strong
Santos Escobar
Sarray
Wes Lee
Zoey Stark (injured)

Grimes and Escobar should be there, Escobar probably more than Grimes.

Grimes and Lumis should have been on the main roster yesterday.
Katana Chance they need to call her up or release her at this point.
I want Sarray vs. Nikki Cross, really bad.

Out of this list...
Will get called up sooner or later
Cameron Grimes
Cruz Del Toro
Santos Escobar
Joaquin Wilde
Dexter Lumis
Indi Hartwell
Fabian Aichner, he's gonna be waiting till Tony D is ready though
Katana Chance, they'll pump that ANW connection
Kayden Carter, probably
I doubt they would have changed Kay Lee Rays name if she wasn't coming up
For the rest here
Dakota Kai-50/50 on this one they seem to not care about her and shes on twitch again...
Ikemen Jiro-no way he'll probably get released before long
Io Shirai (injured) nope-they don't see anything in her...we've talked why
Drake & Gibson-doubt it, tag teams die in WWE
Roderick Strong-they'll keep in around as the vet to work with the greenhorns he can decide if he wants to stay doing that or not when his deal is up
Sarray-she's going to be a jobber and never go up nothing more.
Wes Lee-this release is probably inbound
Zoey Stark (injured)-shes probably the most likely to end up on the main of this group in a year or 2.

You just can't see a high ceiling for any of them to be honest and would expect most if not all of them to be cut in future releases. The women in particular just don't seem to be favoured by the higher ups and with the horsewomen,ronda and toxic attraction as the focal points of the women there's no room for any of them.

With the name change I see KLR/Alba Fyre getting called up. I also see Legado getting called up soonish. Probably once the Tony D'Angelo feud ends. There really isn't much left for them to do and they don't really fit in NXT anymore anyways. Indi I could see getting called up however she's still real young and is still a little rough around the edges in ring so some more time in NXT is probably for the best. Dexter I could see getting brought up as midcard comedy character who they use a lot in the 24/7 nonsense. The rest seem like NXT lifers.

I honestly do not see any of them be given the chance on the main roster and if they are it is to fill a slot and be jobbed out to the people they do want.
I say majority are gone by the years end like maybe Grimes is the only one I see getting any sort of chance other than him though all of them are gonna be better off anywhere else.

They have no main roster depth, they're gonna try some of them on the main, it may lead to guys being released quickly but anyone that is still apart of it, save someone who is being held onto because they're afraid of them going somewhere else, will probably get a shot. |

Io Shirai and Dexter Lumis will go to the main roster.
The rest won't.
Infact, Cameron Grimes will be in AEW in the next year or so.
That's my prediction.

If Dakota isn't called up to the main roster before the year's over, they'll probably let her go. Like, she's been there so long the fact she's not called up yet and yet she's still in the WWE system is surprising.

Called-up a some point: Grimes, LDF (late spring/early summer possibly), Dexter, Hartwell, Katana, and Alba Fyre/KLR.
NXT Lifers: Fabian Aichner, Roderick Strong, Wes Lee, Sarray and Zoey Stark.
Dakota Kai - Optimistic she's call-up soon. Last week made sense, but her name being ghosted on Tuesday felt odd. For those with better memory, have they done that for other call-ups during the in-between period?
Ikemen Jiro - RAW 24/7 call-up.
Io Shirai - Oddly optimistic they will call her up but fear she is in for a lot of catering if Smackdown. Might benefit if she's part of a few women call-ups if to RAW so if worse comes to worse, at least she gets to shine a bit on Main Event.
Drake & Gibson - Lifers or NXT UK return for a bit.
Kayden Carter - Lifer. Becomes the 'local favorite' every now and then on Level Up.

Kayden Carter - Lifer. Becomes the 'local favorite' every now and then on Level Up. It's odd because Dakota not being with Wendy during the post-match stuff last week and the backstage stuff this week makes sense since they want the focus to be on Wendy since they're building to her vs Mandy Rose. Dakota being there would make it look like they'd be going after the tag titles together or worst-case scenario, another round of Dakota playing support for someone and people speculating that she's going to turn Heel again out of vindictiveness and jealousy, undermining the last 2 months of character development. They did reference Dakota nearly beating Mandy if not for Toxic Attraction's interference without mentioning her by name, which I don't recall them ever doing. Than again in the past, most of the NXT callups were called up immediately after either the WrestleMania Takeover or Summerslam Takeover. We rarely got a case of them lingering around, though Rhea Ripley still got namedropped afterwards(in Raquel's vignette where she called out Io shirai) and Shayna Baszler made a few appearances on NXT after she dropped the title(year-end award, battle royal and match against Shotzi) |
