WWE Officials Impressed with Zoey Stark
The future looks bright for one Superstar called-up to Monday Night Raw in the draft, as WWE is said to be very happy with them.
Triple H has promised that the ongoing draft will be the biggest ever, and has already seen several notable selections made. During this week's SmackDown, the blue brand retained the services of Roman Reigns, picked Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair, and selected the O.C. following AJ Styles' return.
Not to be outdone, Raw chose Cody Rhodes as its #1 pick, drafted the entirety of Imperium (bringing the Intercontinental Championship with them,) and selected NXT Women's Champion Indi Hartwell in a shocker.
During the supplemental draft on the latest SmackDown LowDown, Zoey Stark was selected by Raw, marking her call-up to the main roster from NXT.
WWE has been especially happy with Stark's work as of late, so her call-up shouldn't come as a surprise. Stark has had three appearances on WWE Main Event and competed in this year's Women's Royal Rumble match. Stark is a one-time NXT Women's Tag Champion with Io Shirai (now IYO SKY.)
Stark is hardly the only Superstar to be moved from NXT as part of the draft. As previously mentioned, Indi Hartwell will be appearing on Raw moving forwards, the same brand as her 'husband' Dexter Lumis. Apollo Crews is making his main-roster return as part of Raw, and the red brand also chose JD McDonagh in the supplemental draft. During Night One of the televised draft, NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn were picked by SmackDown.
