Nikkita Lyons could reportedly be the next WWE NXT talent preparing for a jump to the main roster. New rumors suggest the move may happen sometime this summer.
According to Rope Break, the rebranded Patreon previously associated with BodySlam, Lyons has recently been discussed internally as a possible call-up candidate.
While nothing has been officially confirmed by WWE, the report has already sparked speculation about where the former NXT standout could land next.
Nikkita Lyons rumored for WWE Raw call-up
The report claimed that Lyons could potentially join Monday Night Raw, although no timetable or finalized plans have been announced. Rope Break noted that the information should currently be treated as a rumor until independently verified.
That uncertainty hasn’t stopped fans from reading between the lines. Lyons recently traveled to Greensboro, North Carolina, for the May 18 WWE Raw taping. She faced Maxxine Dupri in a match filmed for Main Event before Raw aired on Netflix.
Historically, talents appearing at Raw or SmackDown tapings before official debuts can sometimes be a sign that WWE is testing the waters. It’s not exactly a Money in the Bank cash-in level guarantee, but it often puts a superstar on the radar.
Lyons, whose real name is Faith Jefferies, signed with WWE in 2021 following a SummerSlam tryout in Las Vegas. Her progress in NXT was slowed by multiple knee injuries. However, she has remained active across both NXT and EVOLVE in recent months.
The timing of the rumor is also notable given the recent changes within WWE’s women’s divisions. NXT has already seen several major names move on following WrestleMania 42, including Sol Ruca and members of Fatal Influence.
For now, WWE has not publicly commented on Lyons’ future. Still, with summer call-up discussions reportedly ongoing, the door may be opening for Lyons to finally step onto a bigger stage, and possibly roar onto Raw sooner rather than later.
