WWE: Possible NXT Call Ups, Brock Lesnar Update

Possible NXT Call Ups

EC3 and Shayna Baszler are two names that may be called up to the main roster soon, possibly as early as next week, according to Wrestling Observer Radio.

Baszler dropped the NXT Women’s Championship to Kairi Sane at TakeOver and is rumored to be part of a WWE vs. MMA Four Horsewomen angle possibly at Survivor Series.

EC3 lost to Velveteen Dream and he just seems more like a main roster guy than an NXT guy, really. Definitely wrestles “WWE style” matches… EC3 did suffer an injury to his eye at TakeOver, though, so if the plan is to call him up, there is a possibility that that could delay things.

No word on Velveteen Dream being called up. He of course had “CALL ME UP VINCE” on the ass of his tights at TakeOver. I know I’m not the only one who’s worried about how Dream would probably be used on the main roster.

He posted this on Twitter:

DISAPPOINTMENT
is reserved 4 those who expect the things they can’t control.

DON’T BE A SADBOY.

Brock Lesnar

Though he had been advertised for last night’s Raw, Brock Lesnar was obviously not at the show. According to PWInsider, he flew back home after SummerSlam.

Paul Heyman was on Raw and requested a rematch against Roman Reigns at Hell in a Cell, but Kurt Angle turned him down, saying that it would be a long, long time before the rematch happens. This seems like it was WWE’s way to write Lesnar off of TV (for now). Baron Corbin is now the acting GM of Raw, though, so we’ll see if that comes into play.
