Two weeks ago, we saw Deonna Purrazzo make a surprise appearance on RAW. And then, Chelsea Green, whom you may know as Laurel Van Ness from her Impact Wrestling days made an appearance on RAW the following week. It is clear that WWE wants to introduce the world to NXT talent before they enter the Royal Rumble match next month.
I wonder if yet another Superstar will show up on SmackDown this week, to prove her dominance. One name I can immediately think of is Io Shirai. Another I can think of is Dakota Kai, and because both women have the look that WWE is known to like, they may be fast-tracked and introduced to the world in this manner.
They could certainly take on Carmella or Alexa Bliss or even Nikki Cross. Even if they were to come up short, it would be a big step up for the ladies. SmackDown is watched by a lot more people than NXT every week.
