Nikkita Lyons Unlikely To Receive WWE Main Roster Call-Up In The Near Future

Nikkita Lyons seemingly won't be heading to either Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown in the near future.

Reports in recent weeks had noted that Lyons was discussed within WWE for a potential call-up to the main roster at some point in the summer of 2026, with it being suggested that Lyons would join Raw from NXT.

In an update, though, False Finish has reported that while WWE officials have been "very impressed" by Nikkita Lyons since she returned from injury, a call-up to WWE Raw is not considered likely at this time and the expectation is Lyons will continue to perform on WWE EVOLVE and NXT for the foreseeable future.

Nikkita Lyons signed with WWE in 2021 and she has avoided any serious injuries since returning from an ACL injury in September 2024. Lyons has primarily been booked on EVOLVE since the show premiered in March 2025 and the 26-year-old has only had five matches on NXT since the beginning of last year.

Several NXT talents moved to the main roster following WrestleMania, including Ethan Page, Ricky Saints, Blake Monroe, and Fatal Influence.
