NXT Stars Set For WWE Main Roster After Passing Triple H’s Test

Several NXT stars are reportedly being expedited towards their main roster debuts.

Triple H and WWE have been keeping a close eye on a handful of talents and have been very happy with the opportunities given to them to shine.

At the recently-concluded Saturday Night’s Main Event, the likes of Sol Ruca, Oba Femi, Je’Von Evans, and Joe Hendry were featured against established main roster wrestlers.

During a recent Wrestling Observer Radio episode, Dave Meltzer revealed that Ruca, Femi, and Hendry have all received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Evans, on the other hand, has already won over the company’s higher-ups and is set to become a free agent soon.

Joe Hendry and Sol Ruca, they’re all on the list. I don’t know when Sol Ruca’s coming, but number one, they put her over Bayley.

I was told on the Sunday right after that show that all of those guys, when they got over… Oba Femi is too, even though he’s the champion right now. They see Oba Femi as a major main eventer.

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Was A Test For NXT Stars

While WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 was advertised as John Cena’s final match of his wrestling career, WWE officials also kept a close watch on the NXT talent.

Dave Meltzer went on to reveal that their success on the evening with the crossover appeal sealed the deal for them.

The key was that when they got over to the ‘real’ audience, to the large audience that watched John Cena, it sped everything up. All those guys were going to be up anyway, but there’s a perception that, ‘Well, they’re big in their little bowl.’ But when you see them on the big bowl and they’re really over, that changed a lot of opinions real fast.
