WWE has started to call up some NXT stars such as Gunther, who was accompanied by the former Marcel Barthel, now known as Ludwig Kaiser, and Raquel Gonzalez, now known as Raquel Rodriguez. These three NXT stars made their SmackDown debuts on Friday’s show.
There is talk of more NXT stars being called up to the main roster including LA Knight. Fightful Select reports WWE has discussed bringing up Knight on Raw or SmackDown with one pitch made for Knight to work as a manager as is known to be one of the best talkers in NXT.
It’s unclear who he would manage should WWE go forward with this idea. WWE wanted to do the same thing with Adam Cole before he decided to not re-sign with the company and went to AEW.
After making a name for himself as Eli Drake in Impact Wrestling and the NWA, he signed with WWE last year where he found success and become a one-time Million Dollar Champion
