Add as a preferred source on Google Nikkita Lyons may be getting close to leaving WWE NXT and moving up to the main roster in the coming months, with Monday Night RAW being mentioned as a possible landing spot.
According to Rope Break, Lyons was recently brought up in discussions about future call-ups from WWE’s developmental brand. The outlet, however, treated the report as a rumor, as there has not been any more concrete confirmation.
So far, WWE has not officially announced a call-up for Lyons. The company still lists her as part of NXT, highlighting her background in entertainment, as well as her experience in MMA, boxing and Tae Kwon Do.
Lyons has started getting more time on programming again in recent weeks. On the May 12 episode of NXT, she teamed with Zaria against Tatum Paxley and Lizzy Rain, with Paxley and Rain winning after Zaria walked out on her partner.
Nikita Lyons is expected to be called up from NXT to the main roster this summer, with RAW expected to be her landing spot.

A possible move to RAW would also come during a broader period of roster movement. In recent months, WWE has been using names from NXT on the main roster, especially after WrestleMania 42 and on the road to SummerSlam.
Lyons’ NXT run, however, has been repeatedly interrupted by injuries. WrestlingNewsSource noted that her physical setbacks have slowed her progress in recent years, even as the company has continued to view her as a possible future standout.

It remains to be seen whether WWE will move forward with that plan this summer. For now, Lyons remains officially tied to NXT.
