WWE called up several NXT talents to the main roster, including Shotzi Blackheart, Tegan Nox, Finn Balor, Toni Storm, and others. Nonetheless, the decision to call up these stars was reportedly Vince McMahon's.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Chairman decided to call several NXT Superstars to RAW and SmackDown after seeing the advance ticket sales for the returning WWE tours. He then thought the main roster needed new, fresh, and exciting talent.
After visiting the WWE Performance Center, The Chairman decided to call up a few NXT Superstars he believed were ready for a bigger role.
More NXT Superstars recently joined RAW and SmackDown as a result of the 2021 WWE Draft. Austin Theory, Drake Maverick, and Mia Yim joined the Red Brand. Meanwhile, Hit Row, Aliyah, Xia Li, and Ridge Holland joined the Blue Brand.

Although McMahon reportedly wanted to add more excitement to the WWE main shows by calling these NXT Superstars up, a few of them have appeared only a few times on television since joining their new brands.
Toni Storm, for example, has only wrestled in three matches on SmackDown since July.
