Backstage News On WWE’s Plans For Karmen Petrovic

WWE NXT and EVOLVE star Karmen Petrovic has not appeared on WWE programming for the entire month of April, participating in only one match on April 25th at an NXT live event in Citrus Springs, Florida, where she lost to Kendal Grey. In March, Petrovic made just two appearances on television; she defeated Ivy Nile in an episode of WWE Main Event and participated in the EVOLVE Women’s Title Eliminator Gauntlet Match, where Wendy Choo won the vacant title.

According to BodySlam+, Petrovic is scheduled to face Nikkita Lyons in an upcoming episode of EVOLVE in the next few weeks. The report also indicated that there have been discussions about Petrovic potentially working with AAA before she gradually transitions back to being part of the NXT television product.

Petrovic made her WWE TV debut in July 2023 and maintained a semi-regular presence on NXT through the first half of 2025. During this time, she had an on-screen romantic storyline with Ashante “Thee” Adonis, which concluded in April 2025. In August 2025, she moved to EVOLVE, where she has primarily appeared since.

WWE NXT is currently undergoing a roster shift, with several stars having been called up to the main roster in recent months. This week’s NXT featured notable appearances from several names, including EVIL, Will Kroos, Lizzy Rain, Tristan Angels, and Kam Hendrix.
