VIDEO: NXT Star Makes Surprise Monday Night Raw Appearance

Sounds like a future to me. WWE has a huge roster, but unfortunately it is nowhere near as big of a lineup as it used to be. That is the kind of change that can make things all the more confusing and difficult for the regular television shows, but WWE has to figure something out after all of the changes. In theory that might mean some NXT stars moving up to the main roster, and now we might be seeing that happen, at least in the short term.

Last week’s edition of NXT saw Dolph Ziggler make a surprise appearance on the show. Ziggler seemed to insert himself into the NXT Title picture but former NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa disagreed and got in a fight with Ziggler. Ciampa appeared on this week’s Monday Night Raw, doing commentary during a tag match between Ziggler and Robert Roode against the Street Profits. The match ended when Ciampa threw water on Ziggler, allowing the Street Profits to get the pin. Following the match, Ziggler took Ciampa out with a superkick. There is no word on a match between the two or if Ciampa has been called up.

Maybe this is a preview. Check out Ciampa on Monday Night Raw:

Opinion: This is the kind of a surprise that makes things more interesting and I wish they happened more often. Ciampa is a seasoned veteran and would be just fine on the main roster if he is willing to do. Maybe that is the direction we are taking, but odds are this is just to set up a big showdown between the two of them. If nothing else, we should be in for a heck of a match, so everything should work out.

What do you think of the cameo? Will Ciampa be called up? Let us know in the comments below.
