NXT Star Makes Surprise Cameo At WWE Extreme Rules

Cameos are fun. With so many talented stars in NXT, it becomes a question of when someone else will be moving up to the main roster. Those promotions are important moments for both the stars and WWE themselves as we see who is next up on the company’s radar. We might have seen the start of a main roster promotion this weekend at a major WWE event.

NXT star Nikkita Lyons made a surprise cameo appearance this weekend at WWE Extreme Rules. Lyons was shown in the crowd and identified by commentary, though she did not do anything physical on the show. There is no word on if this was a one off appearance or the suggestion that she is moving to the main roster. Lyons and Zoey Stark because #1 contenders to the NXT Tag Team Titles earlier this week. The team had been announced for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title tournament over the summer but did not compete due to medical issues.

Opinion: This is one of those situations where I could see either line of thinking. Lyons is one of the more unique stars in NXT and has all kinds of star potential, but I don’t know if she is anywhere close to ready for the main roster yet. It might be better to leave her in NXT for the time being, and that very well may be the case anyway. It should be interesting to see what she does, but the cameo was certainly a surprise.
