Kali Armstrong Learned About NXT Call-Up One Hour Before NXT Stand & Deliver PLE Started

Armstrong speaks about when she learned she’d be getting called up to NXT.

WWE’s NXT brand is presenting a two-week special titled ‘Revenge’, which starts on April 14th. One of the advertised matches for the program is Kali Armstrong’s official debut as a member of the NXT talent roster.

A vignette to promote Armstrong’s call-up aired during NXT Stand & Deliver. Armstrong guest appeared on Cheap Heat and shared that she learned of the call-up an hour before the PLE started.

“I didn’t know too much before that. That day, maybe an hour before the show aired, I got a call saying that, ‘Hey, we’re gonna air a package saying Kali Armstrong coming soon. This Friday will be your last one on EVOLVE. You’re getting ready to get ready to be on NXT full-time.’ It was like, ‘I know you’ve been on there a few times here and there but, now we’re about to really get ready to lock and load and shoot you off’ and I was like, ‘Wow. This is crazy.’”

Kali Armstrong is the first-ever WWE EVOLVE Women’s Champion. She held the title for 140 days before dropping it to Kendal Grey, who has since vacated the belt as she is also now a full-time member of the NXT roster.
