Recent rumors suggested that Nikkita Lyons could be heading to WWE’s main roster later this year, but a new report is pushing back on those claims.
The original rumor came from Rope Break/TRNBCKL Gold, which stated that Lyons had been discussed internally as a potential call-up, with Monday Night Raw mentioned as a possible destination. The report suggested that WWE could move the former NXT standout to the main roster sometime this summer.
According to the report, WWE officials have been pleased with Lyons’ work since returning from injury, but there are currently no plans for her to join the main roster in the foreseeable future. Instead, Lyons is expected to continue developing her character and in-ring work across both NXT and WWE EVOLVE.
Lyons has faced several setbacks due to injuries during her WWE career, which slowed momentum after she emerged as one of NXT’s fastest-rising stars. Since returning to action, she has gradually been rebuilding her position within the company.
The report indicates that WWE remains high on Lyons’ potential, but for now, fans should not expect an immediate move to Raw or SmackDown.
Lyons made her WWE in-ring debut on the December 31, 2021 episode of 205 Live and has remained part of the NXT system ever since.
