NXT wrestler officially moved to main roster after WWE SmackDown segment
Lash Legend is now officially part of the WWE SmackDown brand.
Legend appeared during Friday’s SmackDown, getting involved in the Nia Jax vs. Charlotte Flair match by attacking Alexa Bliss, who was at ringside supporting Flair. Moments later, Jax hit an Annihilator on Flair for the win. Legend and Jax celebrated together as the segment came to a close.
Legend’s bio on WWE.com has since been moved from the NXT brand to SmackDown. While Legend has wrestled on the main roster multiple times, including a United States title tournament match on SmackDown last year, this marks the start of her being full time on the main roster.
In a backstage interview that aired later in the show on Friday, Jax explained her new alliance with Legend.
“Alexa and Charlotte said I needed to find a friend, and jokes on them, I found a friend. I had a friend. I faced Lash on an NBC, and she is a formidable adversary and I know she’s a bada–. That’s why she’s my friend,” Nia said.
Legend added, “If you didn’t know, I’m Lash Legend, the one and only bougie bully. And based on what I just did to Alexa, clearly I’m everything I say I am and best believe we’re going straight to the top. And tonight was just the beginning.”
Shortly after the segment aired, WrestleVotes reported that Legend is expected to be a fixture on SmackDown moving forward and will continue to be aligned with Jax.
