Top NXT Star Called Up for Tonight’s SmackDown, Expected to Join Popular Stable – WWE SmackDown 09/29 Update

The WWE has had a few hits and misses in the month of September. While Dwayne Johnson’s comeback, the TKO merger, and Jade Cargill signing dominated the headlines for all the good reasons, it has also had its share of negative press following a mass layoff. As many as 20 wrestlers from both NXT and the main rosters were let go at once.

While that might have caused heartbreaks for many, it will also create chances for some. It looks like one wrestler is about to get their chance.

Endorsed by WWE Hall of Famer, high-flying wrestler likely to get main roster call-up

Think of this – you’re in the developmental brand, trying to climb up the ladder and all of a sudden you find yourself gracing both RAW and SmackDown within a week’s time. Must feel nice, right? This is how one top NXT sensation feels right now. The talent is none other than Dragon Lee. This week on RAW, Lee had his first match on the main roster, as he challenged Rey Mysterio for the latter’s NXT North American Championship.

Though he lost, Lee, who had received endorsement from Dom Dom’s father Rey Mysterio, enthralled the spectators with his high-flying maneuvers. Now, as per BWE’s tweet, the 28-year-old Luchador is set to make his SmackDown debut.

He is also expected to team up with Mysterio’s Latino World Order (LWO), and possibly join the faction. Mysterio and his team are likely to take on The Street Profits, who have recently teamed up with WWE icon Bobby Lashley.
