WWE Reportedly Currently Working on Major Plans for Cargill & Cargill Expected to Skip NXT

Dave Meltzer reported in a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio that his sources stated that Cargill is currently expected to skip WWE’s NXT developmental brand and make her official debut on their main roster instead.

Meltzer reported that WWE officials are currently working on main roster creative plans that are “high priority” in comparisons to others from NXT who have been called up in recent months such as an Alba Fyre with no real creative plans for them. Meltzer stated:

“They’re doing main roster creative for her right now. What would I call it, it’s high priority. They’re not bringing her in to be like — you know how they would bring in some of the NXT people like Von Wagner or Alba Fyre. Alba Fyre’s actually a good one. Or Katana Chance. You know [people] that are brought up and they have like no idea of what to do with them and then they just kind of disappear into the dust. And it’s almost like, ‘Why did we even bother calling them up?’ She is not earmarked to be like that. She’s earmarked for real stuff.”

In regards to the reports of Cargill reporting to WWE’s Performance Center, Meltzer reported that while Cargill had recently traveled to Orlando, it is currently not known if she had actually visited the Performance Center. Those spoken to reportedly stated that people within the Performance Center did not see Cargill in attendance but Meltzer stated that this does not mean that she was not there at some point.
