The 2021 WWE Draft guaranteed the debut of many NXT superstars on the main roster. Not only are the fans excited to see the young developing talents perform with the big names, but also the WWE superstars can’t stay calm. Sasha Banks and Naomi recently revealed their excitement after WWE released a promo for the main roster debut of a former NXT superstar.

The former NXT superstar is none other than the hugely talented Xia Li. Li had been in top form since January after going through a transformation. Following her return during NXT’s New Year’s Evil special, Li dominated her opponents. She even defeated Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter in a handicap match.

This dominant return gave Li an opportunity to challenge Raquel González for the NXT Women’s Championship. But unfortunately, Li lost. But Li got rewarded for her impressive performances with a call-up to the main roster.

She is the first Chinese woman to ever compete in a WWE ring. Xia Li got drafted to WWE SmackDown during the 2021 WWE Draft, but is yet to make her main roster debut. But it looks like we might see the Chinese superstar in action next week. Are you excited to see Xia Li making her main roster debut?
