NXT Talents Didn't Expect WWE Main Roster Call-Up
NXT talents were surprised by their WWE main roster call-ups
The recent WWE Draft was notable for several reasons, namely the fact that several NXT talents were called up to the main roster.
The likes of Indi Hartwell, Cameron Grimes, and the team of Katana Chance and Kayden Carter, amongst others, were called up during the draft, and during an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Chance and Carter revealed their surprise at getting the call-up to main:
“It’s just surreal. We’ve been working for this for so long and together as a team as well. We’ve had the opportunity to stay together for four years now as a team so, to be able to share this moment and finally be there, it just doesn’t feel real yet, it’s only been a week,” said Chance, with Carter adding that "It hasn’t kicked in yet, it hasn’t kicked in yet.”
The team have been plying their trade in NXT for several years, but Chance revealed that the two fully expected to be staying with NXT:
“No. We actually were pretty sure it wasn’t happening. Not only did we not know, we thought we weren’t [getting called up]. Especially when the Women’s Tag Champs got brought up, we were like ‘Man, that’s the tag team that they’re taking and that’s it’, you know? Then, the very last [second], at like 10:30pm on Monday and we’re at the watch party and we were like ‘I think it’s over’ and then they just like, said our names and we were like ‘Wait, what’s happening? What brand did they even say?’”
