Popular NXT Superstar set to be promoted as part of the WWE Draft - Reports

The WWE Draft will once again change the landscape of the company when superstars from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT find a new home along with new opportunities to advance their careers. According to a recent report, former NXT UK Champion Tyler Bate has been mentioned as a potential call-up.

Last year, Triple H brought back several released superstars who made their way to the main roster after being cut by the old regime. The current roster is filled with stars from the developmental brand, and it looks like more could make their way during the upcoming draft.

According to a new report from WRKD Wrestling, the company has internally brought up former NXT United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate's name as one who could potentially make his way to the main roster after his stellar performance against Dolph Ziggler on WWE's Main Event. Check it out:

WWE often moves stars from the developmental brand to the main roster after WrestleMania, but the move this year was seemingly delayed due to the upcoming Draft.
