WWE has hyped up a number of talent that they are calling up from NXT to their main roster. The company played a video package introducing the WWE Universe to those names, helping to create a sense of recognition for the eventual debuts.
This wasn’t enough, however, for Vince McMahon.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon believes that each NXT call-up needs to be seen via backstage segments.
Vince reportedly believes this will help fans know who these NXT Superstars actually are once their main roster plans are finalized. He seems to be of the opinion that most of the WWE Universe will not be familiar with them. This is despite NXT’s popularity and the video package to help introduce them.
This is also why these past few weeks have seen random interactions between established main roster members and the former-NXT Superstars.
The NXT Superstars that have been appearing, waiting to know which brand to call home, include EC3, Lacey Evans, Sanity’s Nikki Cross, Heavy Machinery, and Lars Sullivan.
