WWE News: 3 Developmental Wrestlers Reportedly Nearing Main Roster Call-Up

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that one defining characteristic of John Laurinaitis’ “People Power” era is introducing new superstars to the WWE Universe. 

So far, we’ve seen Lord Tensai, Ryback, Damien Sandow and Antonio Cesaro all debut during Laurinaitis’ regime as GM of both Raw and SmackDown. It’s sort of been like ECW’s “New Superstar Initiative” that we saw on ECW a few years back, where new superstars consistently debuted on TV. 

While Laurinaitis’ version of the New Superstar Initiative hasn’t lasted all that long, look for it to continue. Soon. 

From WrestlingNewsWorld.com: 

"

Dean Ambrose’s debut on the main WWE roster seems imminent, as he has been working pre-show dark matches. He, along with Bo Rotundo and Bray Wyatt (formerly Husky Harris),are on the short list for a call-up to the main roster.

I love this. 

As I watched the WWE prior to WrestleMania, I kept thinking about how stale the rosters were and how we needed to see some new names (whether those be FCW guys or just guys who don’t get much TV) in the spotlight. We’re seeing that now, especially on SmackDown, but there's still a ton of talented FCW stars who deserve to get that main roster call-up. 

At the top of that list is Dean Ambrose, who is probably the best overall performer in WWE’s developmental territory. He has had a Twitter/Internet beef with Mick Foley that has a lot of people talking. Thus, it’s great to hear that he should be on the main roster soon. 

As for Bo Rotundo, the guy is extremely talented and one of the better overall performs in FCW as well. But he’s still just 21 years old, so I see no need to rush him up to Raw or SmackDown before he’s 100 percent ready. 

Bray Wyatt, a.k.a. Husky Harris, however, should be on the main roster ASAP. I always felt like he was one of the better stars on his season of NXT and that he moved extremely well for a big guy. Plus, he’s dropped a ton of weight and has a new gimmick that is, well, very unique. 

I would love to see him back on either Raw or SmackDown in the near future, especially because I’m intrigued by this new character he’s been portraying. 

Just one question, though: What’s up with Seth Rollins?
