WWE had wrestlers from NXT wrestle before Friday’s SmackDown broadcast from the ThunderDome in Tampa, FL.
Prior to SmackDown going on the air, NXT Champion Karrion Kross wrestled Slapjack, while Shotzi Blackheart took worked against Scarlett.
WWE producers were there to evaluate the match and determine the competitors’ readiness for the main roster.
Kross and NXT North American champion Bronson Reed have been wrestling at the main roster TV tapings over the past week. At last week’s SmackDown, Kross wrestled Dolph Ziggler while Reed faced off with Bobby Roode.
Kross and Reed wrestled on this week’s Main Event, which took place prior to Monday’s Raw tapings. Kross defeated Shelton Benjamin and Reed defeated Drew Gulak. Kross and Reed are on WWE’s short list for main roster call-ups, according to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
There is a good chance they will be moved to Raw or SmackDown when the next WWE Draft takes place after SummerSlam.
