Newest main roster call-ups could be set for their farewell matches on WWE NXT
The 2023 WWE Draft kicked off on the most recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown, and the first round of picks were followed up with some supplemental picks the morning after. On both days, multiple NXT wrestlers were announced as main roster call ups including NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell, NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn, Apollo Crews, JD McDonagh, and Zoey Stark.
