Nikkita Lyons may have WWE officials impressed, but that does not mean she is heading to Monday Night RAW just yet.
False Finish reports that WWE officials have been happy with Lyons’ work since she returned from injury. However, despite earlier talk about a possible summer main roster call-up, that move reportedly does not look likely right now.
“False Finish has learned that WWE officials have been very impressed with the work of Nikkita Lyons since returning from injury. While there were reports of a potential callup to WWE RAW in the Summer, it doesn’t appear likely at this time. Lyons is expected to continue working EVOLVE and NXT for the foreseeable future.”
This comes after Rope Break previously reported that Lyons had been mentioned as a possible main roster call-up, with RAW discussed as a potential landing spot if WWE decided to move her up this summer.
For now, though, WWE appears to be keeping Lyons in EVOLVE and NXT while she continues rebuilding momentum after multiple knee injuries. That may not be the fast-track call-up some fans expected, but it shows the company is still paying attention to her comeback.
Lyons has also been vocal about her reset. Back on April 29, 2026, she fired back at critics who kept asking for the “old” Nikkita Lyons to return, making it clear she sees herself as healed and moving forward.
“i MiSs ThE oLd nIkKiTa LyOnS” 😂 like… y’all were complaining back then too 🙄 not that i need to explain, but that was post injury with a sh✨tty bf at the time nikkita lmao but we’re not even in that timeline anymore, WE’RE HEALED 🍃 KEEP UP #NikkitaMultiMedia #DivineFeline lioness pre-wwe mind you👇🦁 BEEN THE LYONESS BABE 🎶🔮🍃”
The tweet gave fans a look into the physical and personal reset Lyons has been working through. Now, with WWE officials reportedly impressed, she appears to be in a better position than she was during her injury setbacks.
Still, the latest word is that a RAW call-up is not expected at this time. Lyons may eventually get that main roster chance, but for now, WWE seems focused on letting her keep building herself back up through EVOLVE and NXT.
Do you think WWE is right to keep Nikkita Lyons in NXT and EVOLVE for now, or should she be called up to RAW this summer? Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think.
