Nikki Cross, EC3 and More NXT Superstars React To Making It On The WWE Main Roster

After the McMahon family shook things up on Raw with a game-changing announcement, the pieces started to fall into place when it was confirmed that five more NXT standouts would be arriving at the Raw and SmackDown LIVE brands.

Among the fresh new faces are Nikki Cross, Lacey Evans, Heavy Machinery (Otis Dozovic and Tucker Knight), EC3 and the previously-announced Lars Sullivan. Of course, it didn’t take long before the promising Superstars spilled their overpouring excitement on Twitter.

My brother @WWEDozovic and I have been living the #STEAKSandWEIGHTS life together for 2 and half years. We formed the unit #HeavyMachinery and the goal for us was always #Raw or #SmackDown. The Blue Collar Boys are hungry and we’re coming to eat! pic.twitter.com/x5wL67k2YH

Matthew, you once told me “Time is a flat circle.”

Reacting to the news on Twitter, Sullivan said to spare any “congratulations” for his “wonderful NXT colleagues.”

“Please spare me any “congratulations”. Please, give it all to my wonderful NXT colleagues. They are each so talented, and most importantly wonderful human beings. May you all have a blessed day. And a blessed holiday season too!” Sullivan wrote.

Sullivan then admitted to his tweet being insincere.

“In regards to this tweet, I’m admittedly being insincere. Everyone in NXT can kiss my ass, especially the 5 who stole my thunder. And all of you can kiss my ass. I hope your holidays are as miserable as mine. See you soon, WWE,” Sullivan wrote.

As is often the case with Sullivan, he deleted both tweets.
