Recently, both EC3 and Lacey Evans were officially announced via a WWE hype video that they would soon be moving up to WWE’s main roster. They join a number of other NXT superstars in this move.
Prior to last night’s Monday Night Raw, both EC3 and Evans wrestled during the taping for Main Event. This led many to speculate that these matches were not only their main roster television debuts but also an indications that they would end up on the red brand.
According to Dave Meltzer of f4wonline.com, both matches were dark matches and will supposedly not air on television this week.
During the Main Event show, Lacey Evans would face off against Natalya in a losing effort to start the night. EC3 would then compete with Curt Hawkins, picking up a victory in the process.
With members of this incoming group of NXT superstars saying their good-byes and wrestling their final NXT matches, it’s only a matter of time until we see them on either Raw or SmackDown Live.
The full group of NXT talent coming to the main roster include Lars Sullivan, Lacey Evans, EC3, Sanity’s Nikki Cross, and Heavy Machinery.
What do you make of this? Was WWE wanting to see what EC3/Evans were capable of before deciding which brand to assign them to?
