Indi Hartwell, Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn Called Up From NXT On First Night Of WWE Draft
The "NXT" women's division looks to be getting a makeover, as Indi Hartwell, Alba Fyre, and Isla Dawn are now members of WWE's main roster. During the first night of the WWE Draft on Friday's episode of "SmackDown", the current "NXT" Women's Tag Team Champions were the fifteenth overall pick of the draft and were assigned to the blue brand while the reigning "NXT" Women's Champion was drafted to the red brand as the sixteenth overall pick despite suffering an injury during a match earlier this week.
April 1 was a monumental night for all three women, as they all became titleholders at that night's "NXT" Stand & Deliver premium live event. Hartwell defeated Roxanne Perez, Zoey Stark, Tiffany Stratton, Lyra Valkyria, and Gigi Dolin in a six-way ladder match to win the "NXT" Women's Championship while Fyre and Dawn dethroned Fallon Henley and Kiana James to become the new titleholders. As of writing, there is no word about whether or not new champions will be crowned.
Fyre and Dawn spoke to McKenzie Mitchell surrounded by their fellow "NXT" superstars at the WWE Performance Center after finding out they had been drafted to "SmackDown". While doing so, the duo was confronted by Katana Chance and Kayden Carter, who requested a shot at the "NXT" Women's Tag Titles on next Tuesday's edition of "NXT." Fyre and Dawn confidently accepted the challenge. Carter and Chance are former "NXT" Women's Tag Team Champions, winning the vacant title in a Fatal Four-Way Match on the August 2, 2022 episode of "NXT" before losing it at "NXT" Vengeance Day in February, ending their 186-day reign.
