Submitted by Tom Araya on

Before last night's episode of WWE NXT, several talents from WWE EVOLVE were signed to the NXT roster following recent main roster call-ups. The call-ups include Je’Von Evans, who has joined the RAW roster; Trick Williams, who has joined SmackDown; and Jordynne Grace, also now part of SmackDown.

Additionally, Oba Femi has departed NXT after vacating the NXT Championship last week, and it is rumored that he may have significant plans lined up for RAW, although this has not been confirmed.

The official WWE NXT Twitter (X) account announced that Keanu Carver, Eli Knight, and The Vanity Project, consisting of WWE EVOLVE Champion Jackson Drake, Ricky Smokes, and Brad Baylor, have signed with the brand.

The Vanity Project regularly performs in EVOLVE and has made several appearances in NXT over the past year. Smokes and Baylor compete together as a team called Swipe Right. Carver previously participated in the 2023 NXT Breakout Tournament and was part of WWE EVOLVE last year.

Finally, Knight, a regular performer in WWE EVOLVE who signed as a WWE ID prospect in October, competed in the December 23rd episode of NXT against Tavion Heights.
