Kali Armstrong may have just won her first title, but WWE insiders already see her future stretching far beyond EVOLVE.
According to a new report from Fightful Select, Armstrong has seriously impressed people within WWE following her work at recent EVOLVE tapings, with some even calling her a potential future WrestleMania main eventer.
Since winning the inaugural WWE EVOLVE Womens Championship on the May 28 episode, Armstrong hasnt slowed down. She recently brought the title to an NXT live event in Citrus Springs, and it turns out thats not just a one-off appearance. WWE sources say shes already been working NXT house shows regularly and is being discussed internally for a full-on call-up to the NXT roster.
The timing couldnt be better. Armstrong has been gaining traction fast after defeating Kylie Rae, Wendy Choo, and Kendal Grey in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match to win the EVOLVE title. Rae did most of the damage by eliminating both Choo and Grey, but Armstrong finished the job, nailing Rae with the Kali Connection to capture the gold.
She made headlines again when WWE veteran Natalya entered the ring to present the beltand Armstrong snatched it out of her hands without a word, holding it high and walking the ring solo. It was a message without a promo: she doesnt want approval, she wants the spotlight.
Now, it looks like that spotlight is getting bigger. With praise coming from within WWE and growing fan interest around her rise, it seems Kali Armstrongs move to NXT is only a matter of timeand maybe just the first step in something much bigger.
