UPDATE: On top of the members of the Vanity Project, it was also confirmed that Eli Knight and Keanu Carver have officially joined the NXT roster.
Three new WWE NXT signings have now been officially confirmed following the recent series of main roster call ups.
Over the past few weeks, a number of NXT stars have made the move up to the WWE main roster, including Je’von Evans, Jordynne Grace, Trick Williams and Oba Femi, who vacated the NXT Championship at the end of last week’s NXT show.
Following Oba’s vacation, NXT General Manager Ava noted to various members of the WWE Evolve roster that more opportunities would open up, and three new WWE NXT roster members have been confirmed.
Ahead of tonight’s WWE NXT show, NXT noted on social media that Evolve Men’s Champion Jackson Drake and Swipe Right’s Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes of the Vanity Project have now officially joined the NXT brand.
They tweeted:
Vanity Project is taking over Tuesday nights.
Welcome to #WWENXT , @JacksonDrake03, @bradbay1or and @smokeshow_ricky! @avawwe_
More new names are set to join the NXT roster soon, with a vignette airing last week for the debut of Elio LaFleur.
