Another Top Name Expected To Be Called Up From NXT, Another Discussed
Added 2022-04-06 23:41:08 +0000 UTCToday on Fightful Select, we revealed that Gunther and Marcel Barthel were discussed for call-ups. Since then, we've learned more names that have been a part of those discussions.
LA Knight and Raquel Gonzalez have both been pitched as potential call-ups, Fightful Select has learned. Raquel seems to be expected by most within NXT, but LA Knight's situation didn't seem as certain.
One of the pitches we've heard involved LA Knight potentially as a manager because of his highly acclaimed mic work.
Knight worked a dark match back in January against Roderick Strong, winning the match. Raquel Gonzalez defeated Toni Storm in one back in October, then was brought up in February to work and win a dark match against Io Shirai. We're told there have been several pitches to bring her up in the past that didn't come to fruition.
As with anything, it's never certain until it happens on television, but we can confirm the pitches were made.

I would love tobsee LA Knight come up and get a chance at the IC title. His mic work will get him many promos and this could be a way to get the IC title more respect
