Update on status of NXT talent featured at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
None of the NXT talent featured at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event have been called up to the main roster.
On Tuesday, Bryan Alvarez provided an update on Oba Femi, Sol Ruca, Je’Von Evans, Leon Slater, and Joe Hendry to his subscribers on X, writing:
“Since people have been asking after SNME and Raw, I had been told at this point, nobody has been called up.”
Evans has a match scheduled for Raw next week, where he is set to face Rayo Americano. He will also challenge for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship in a three-way match against Jack Cartwheel and champion Laredo Kid at AAA’s show in Guadalajara on Saturday. Hendry and Slater are both scheduled for the four-way number one contender match on NXT on Tuesday.
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Alvarez addressed WWE’s reaction to the NXT wrestlers featured at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Meltzer said:
“I know that people there were very impressed with the four that wrestled. Joe Hendry, everyone knows. He’s a guy that’s going to go out there and get a great crowd reaction and that’s a big part of their business. But they see Oba Femi as a superstar, they see Sol Ruca as a superstar, and they see Evans and Leon Slater as superstars.”
