Business usually tends to pick up after SummerSlam each year. Here are 5 WWE NXT call-ups that could help kick start the company.
The night after the last 2 of the 4 major pay per views, The Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania, the WWE main roster has made 3 important call-ups from NXT that has shaped the current RAW and Smackdown rosters. The following evening after the Rumble, Samoa Joe made his RAW debut in brutal fashion, laying waste to Seth Rollins, legitimately injuring “The Architect’s” knee. Joe has had major success since that day, and will walk into SummerSlam with a chance to become Universal Champion in a fatal 4-way for that title.
A few months later, after Wrestlemania 33, arguably the best tag team on earth, The Revival also joined the RAW roster and after an injury to Scott Dawson’s jaw healed up, they look destined for a tag team title shot very soon. The night after that, Shinsuke Nakamura entered the Smackdown ranks and just 4 months later, “The King of Strong Style” is one win away from facing Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam.
Whether the company decides to make any major call-ups from NXT after SummerSlam remains a mystery but one thing is for sure, the main roster could clearly use a shot of life. What better way to do that than bring up some of the talent currently tearing the house down at Full Sail University?
Here are 5 call-ups that could potentially do just that.
