NXT Call-Up Rumors: Nakamura, Dillinger, Almas?

With Shinsuke Nakamura’s loss and apparent send-off at NXT TakeOver on Saturday, his WWE main roster debut is definitely imminent. It may even happen as early as this week, with rumors going around that he could debut on SmackDown this Tuesday (or on Raw if WWE decides on that, though SmackDown seems more likely).

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Tye Dillinger and Andrade “Cien” Almas are two other wrestlers who may be making their main roster debuts very soon, possibly even as soon as this week. Other NXT wrestlers (maybe The Revival?) could also possibly be called up very soon.

There were reports that “The Drifter” Elias Samson would be debuting on the main roster soon after losing a “loser leaves NXT” match to Kassius Ohno, but Samson actually appeared at the NXT TV tapings before TakeOver on Saturday and it seems like NXT is doing an angle with him, so he might actually be there for a while longer. He wore a luchadore mask and was called “El Vagabundo” (Spanish for “The Drifter”). He wrestled Oney Lorcan, who pulled off his mask and revealed that he was the Drifter, then he was escorted out again.
