Which brand should each of the 6 NXT call ups go to?
It was announced in December that Heavy Machinery (Otis Dozovic and Tucker Knight), Lars Sullivan, Lacey Evans, EC3, and Nikki Cross will be heading to either Monday Night Raw or SmackDown Live.
Most of these superstars have been appearing on Raw and SmackDown Live and basically having a trial run on the main roster before they go to a specific brand.
Heavy Machinery has competed in multiple number one contender matches on both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, EC3 defeated Dean Ambrose in his Monday Night Raw debut, Lacey Evans confronted Alexa Bliss and lasted for 30 minutes in the women's Royal Rumble, and Nikki Cross has been involved in multiple tag team matches involving Bayley, Sasha Banks, Natalya, the Riott Squad, and Alicia Fox.
Lars Sullivan has yet to make his debut due to an anxiety attack that he recently suffered.
#5 Heavy Machinery to Monday Night Raw
Heavy Machinery has done pretty much everything they needed to do in NXT. They definitely improved throughout the year and a half that they spent in NXT and had great matches with the likes of the Mighty, Austin Aries & Roderick Strong, the Street Profits, Undisputed Era, and even the Forgotten Sons.
Otis Dozovic also had a great match with NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa on an episode of NXT TV that really proved just how great both men are.
Since arriving in the main roster, Heavy Machinery has been heavily protected as they managed to eliminate the New Day in a match to determine the number one contenders to the SmackDown Tag Team Titles before being eliminated by the Bar, were a huge part of the recent fatal 4 way tag team match on Raw, had a great segment involving Becky Lynch and the New Day, and crushed the Ascension in their debut.
They should go to Monday Night Raw instead of SmackDown Live because SmackDown Live already has a stacked tag team division.
WWE does not even have time to give teams like SAnitY, the Colons, and Gallows & Anderson a chance and with the New Day, the Bar, the Usos, and Shane McMahon & The Miz on the brand, the last thing SmackDown Live needs is another team.
Meanwhile, with the AOP and Breezango out of action, the only teams that Raw has are Bobby Roode & Chad Gable, The Revival, the B-Team, The Ascension, and Lucha House Party. Therefore, Heavy Machinery should definitely be added to Raw.
