Daniel Bryan is reportedly pushing for more WWE NXT calls to the SmackDown list.
We watched as Bryan played a significant creative role in the blue brand for several months. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that he has been pushing to bring more NXT Superstars for SmackDown as a way to freshen things up.
There is no word on who Bryan pushed to be called up, but it was reported earlier this week that Damian Priest was scheduled to debut last Friday in a main event plot, but the call was rejected at the last minute. Priest is still scheduled to be called up, but there are now plans for him to go to the RAW brand later this month, according to the Observer.
As previously reported, Rhea Ripley will also head to the main squad soon.
Stay tuned for more.
