WWE NXT Preview For Tonight (4/1/2020)
Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that NXT star Austin Theory’s call-up to WWE Raw was a call made by Paul Heyman, who is the Raw Executive Director.
It wasn’t made by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, who is still making the final decisions.
It all came down to WWE needing someone to replace WWE United States Champion Andrade, who was injured, to work the Raw Tag Team Titles match at WrestleMania 36.
Theory and Angel Garza lose to The Street Profits at the show. WWE officials were impressed enough with Theory that he got the main roster call-up.
