Kali Armstrong is officially a member of NXT. Despite appearing on NXT previously as an Evolve talent, the former and inaugural Evolve Women’s Champion made her official debut this week. She won her first match against Skylar Raye.
Armstrong spoke with Cheap Heat about when she found out she would now be an NXT Superstar.
“I didn’t know too much before that. That day, maybe an hour before the show aired, I got a call saying that, ‘Hey, we’re gonna air a package saying Kali Armstrong coming soon. This Friday will be your last one on EVOLVE. You’re getting ready to get ready to be on NXT full-time.’ It was like, ‘I know you’ve been on there a few times here and there but, now we’re about to really get ready to lock and load and shoot you off’ and I was like, ‘Wow. This is crazy.’” (Fightful/Transcript)
At the end of this week’s NXT Revenge, Armstrong was one of a few new competitors to step up to Lola Vice for the NXT Women’s Title.
Armstrong signed with WWE in 2023 and has an athletic background in Track & Field.
