Two WWE NXT stars made their main roster debuts when WWE taped this week’s edition of Main Event in Orlando, FL at the Amway Center before RAW went live on Monday night.
Those stars are EC3 and Lacey Evans. These are just two stars that WWE has been hyping the arrival from NXT to the main roster whether that be on RAW or Smackdown Live.
During the taping, Evans lost to Natalya while EC3 beat Curt Hawkins. Jacob Cohen, who was in attendance, noted that there were dueling “Let’s Go Hawkins” and “EC3” chants during the singles match.

Lars Sullivan, Heavy Machinery’s Tucker Knight & Otis Dozovic, and Nikki Cross, are expected to be called up to the main roster in the near future.
Evans worked her final match in NXT on Sunday night at a live event where she teamed with Aliyah in a losing effort to Kairi Sane & Xia Li in a tag team match in Durham, North Carolina.
Also, EC3 worked his last NXT match at this show when he teamed up with War Raiders (Hanson & Rowe) to defeat The Undisputed ERA (Bobby Fish, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) in a six-man tag team match.
With Evans and EC3 working Main Event, it’s likely that they will be featured on the red brand.
