<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Reason Behind Recent NXT Call-Ups Being Picked</strong></h2>



<p>It was announced on <strong>Monday Night RAW</strong> last week that 5 NXT Superstars have been picked for the main roster. <strong>Lacey Evans, Nikki Cross, heavy Machinery, EC3</strong> will now join<strong> Lars Sullivan</strong> on the list of immediate NXT call-ups. </p>



<p>As reported by  John Pollock of&nbsp;<em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.postwrestling.com/2018/12/18/pollocks-news-update-vince-mcmahons-return-leads-to-three-month-high-for-raw/" target="_blank">POST Wrestling</a></em>, WWE was actively screening NXT talent with strong characters while leaving certain stars on the developmental brand to help sell tickets for its upcoming shows.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Here&#39;s what a fresh start means&#8230; <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RAW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RAW</a> <a href="https://t.co/DxFRGC7zm3">pic.twitter.com/DxFRGC7zm3</a></p>&mdash; WWE Southeast Asia (@WWESEAsia) <a href="https://twitter.com/WWESEAsia/status/1074852738901540864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 18, 2018</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>The 6 call-ups definitely offer a strong &#8220;shake-up&#8221; to the existing main roster roster but it remains to be seen whether WWE is able to utilize each of them properly to their maximum potential.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Darren Young Hinting At Potential WWE Return</strong></h2>



<p>Former WWE Superstar <strong>Darren Young</strong> recently spoke to The Roman Show where he hinted at a potential return to the promotion in 2019.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p> “Recently, I was just at WWE in L.A. and they invited me back with open arms. So, who knows? 2019, you may see me as an ambassador with the company. Just because moves aren’t being announced doesn’t mean moves aren’t being made.” </p></blockquote>



<p>Young is still in great shape and although he failed to achieve success during his previous stint with WWE, given the &#8220;New Era&#8221; where Superstars won&#8217;t be choked and fans will see fresh faces and new matches, he could definitely return to the company and try his luck one more time.</p>

<p>According to the latest tumors, WWE may have big plans for <strong>Kevin Owens</strong> and <strong>Sami Zayn</strong> in the coming months as they are expected to be involved in a program together. This could lead to a singles match against each other at the Show of Immortals.</p>

<p>WWE has already started airing the return promos. Owens and Zayn are always special when they face each other and if they face off at WrestleMania 35, it could be one of the matches of the night.</p>
