WWE Rumor Roundup - Superstar almost fired for refusing to lose, Becky Lynch spotted in the ring with a female star, Canceled storyline plans for Bray Wyatt (20th June 2021)

#2. WWE preparing for a shake-up, NXT Superstars spotted working dark matches before SmackDown

It seems like WWE is aware of its product's staleness and is making active efforts to add some freshness. PWInsider reports that Karrion Kross, Scarlett and Bronson Reed were present backstage before SmackDown.

The NXT stars were brought over to the Thunderdome in Tampa to work a few dark matches for WWE officials. An updated report revealed that Kross faced Dolph Ziggler while Bronson Reed had a singles match against Robert Roode.

The matches were reportedly taped for future evaluation, and WWE has no plans on airing them for public consumption. There were also talks to bring Kross and Scarlett back for next week's SmackDown to film some promos.

WWE is getting ready for a Draft in September, and the ideal course of action would be to pull up talent from the black-and-gold brand.

Dave Meltzer noted on the Wrestling Observer Radio that Karrion Kross has always been earmarked for a main roster call-up ever since WWE signed him.

WWE officials are high on Karrion Kross, and he is expected to get a fair shot in the big leagues. While the exact dates of the impending main roster debuts aren't known, fans should see all the new faces in action by September.
