Recent WWE Call-Ups Wrestle After SDL
A pair of recent NXT call-ups wrestled after last night’s episode of SmackDown Live. Yesterday’s episode ended with Becky Lynch defeating Carmella and Charlotte Flair to earn her way into the SmackDown Live Women’s Championship match at the Royal Rumble. Now, Lynch will be challenging Asuka for the SDL Women’s Title in Arizona.
After the show went off-air, recent NXT main roster call-ups, Heavy Machinery (Tucker Knight and Otis Dozovic), competed in a dark match. Knight and Dozovic defeated The Colons. Heavy Machinery is one of several recently announced main roster call-ups who have yet to officially debut on the main roster. It remains unclear what brand Heavy Machinery will be debuting for once they officially come up to the main roster on TV.
That wasn’t the only dark match of the night. WWE Champion Daniel Bryan defended his title against AJ Styles. The match came to an end when Bryan got himself disqualified by hitting Styles with a low blow. After the match, Styles responded with a low blow of his own. He hit Bryan with a Phenomenal Forearm and a Styles Clash to send fans home happy.

As mentioned, Becky Lynch will now be competing for the SDL Women’s Championship at the Royal Rumble. Following her victory on Tuesday night’s show, Lynch spoke to Kayla Braxton backstage. “The Irish Lass Kicker” said she has accomplished everything she said she would.
She proceeded to call out RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey, who cost her the SDL Women’s Title at Tables Ladders and Chairs. Lynch called Rousey a “coward” for sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong. Check out Lynch’s interview with Braxton here:
