More NXT Talents Scouted During SmackDown Dark Matches
The new generation. WWE is a huge wrestling company and that means they are going to need to do something to keep the interest up. One of the best ways to do this is to keep the talent pool moving, which they are certainly trying to do these days. That is where NXT comes in, as they have more than enough wrestlers to help boost things up. Now we might know who some of the next call ups could be.
According to PWInsider.com, two more dark matches featuring NXT wrestlers took place before this week’s SmackDown taping. First up, Karrion Kross defeated Slapjack. Second, Shotzi Blackheart faced Scarlett. There is no word on who won either match or how either of them were received. This continues a recent run of NXT wrestlers working dark matches before television tapings.
Kross is the reigning NXT Champion and has wrestled matches at the last three television tapings between Monday Night Raw and SmackDown. Scarlett is Kross’ valet in NXT and has yet to wrestle a match for the promotion. Blackheart is currently the partner of Ember Moon and the two are former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions. There is no word on who WWE will be calling up, though there is a chance some will take place during the upcoming WWE Draft.

Opinion: You had to know that something like this was coming, but at the same time, I’m not sure how many were expecting this many names to get looks. It is not a bad thing though, as WWE has needed some fresh blood for a long time now. These names have experience in some high profile situations and it would make sense to consider bringing them up to the main roster. Now just make things work and it will all be worth it.
Which of these three has the most potential? Who do you want to see called up? Let us know in the comments below.
