Several NXT stars moving up to WWE main roster

Last week when Santos Escobar lost to Tony D’Angelo, it was clear that he was moving up to the main roster but there were questions about the entire Legado Del Fantasma group.

The stipulation stated that Escobar would be gone from NXT if he lost but nothing was said about Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro, and Elektra Lopez.

It has now been confirmed, via Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, that the entire group will be debuting on Raw or SmackDown soon. There is no word on when they will show up but it makes the most sense to wait until after the Clash at the Castle pay-per-view since the company is focused on building that show right now.

Meltzer also confirmed that other names being talked about for a move to the main roster include Solo Sikoa and Indi Hartwell. Sikoa’s name has been rumored for months and there was talk of him joining the Usos a couple of years ago.

In the case of Hartwell, it looks like she will be paired with Dexter Lumis once again, and, based on Raw storylines, it looks like WWE is building towards a Lumis/Hartwell vs. Miz/Maryse feud.

All of the names mentioned are wrestlers that Triple H was pushing before his exit from NXT last fall. Lumis was recently brought back as part of the Raw roster, which would indicate that Hartwell will also be part of that show. This past Monday on Raw, Lumis kidnapped The Miz.
