Real recognizes real, they say.

WWE Superstar Lash Legend had high praise for rising NXT talent Kali Armstrong during a recent appearance on Bodyslam.net’s Wrestleholics podcast, calling Armstrong a future Hall of Famer and one of the standout names in WWE’s evolving developmental system.

As WWE continues to spotlight new faces across NXT and EVOLVE, Lash spoke about the growing opportunities for emerging talent and pointed directly to Armstrong as someone poised to break through in a major way.

“I feel like it’s a new evolution of NXT, and I feel like the people that deserve more recognition are starting to get those opportunities. So it’s really cool to see Cali.”

Lash continued by emphasizing Armstrong’s upside and overall presence, making it clear she believes the young star has all the tools needed to succeed at the highest level.

“Yeah, I mean, everybody should know about NXT. That girl is something serious, and I believe that she can be a Hall of Famer one day. She is just that good. She’s so coachable, she loves it, she has a passion for it, and she looks great, so shout out to her.”

Armstrong has quickly become one of the more talked-about names among WWE’s developing talent pool, especially following her run with the EVOLVE Championship. According to Lash, the next step is now establishing herself as a force within NXT.

“She’s somebody that I’m like, ‘Yeah, go get that title.’ She came in with the EVOLVE Championship, so that was really cool, but I think it’s time for her to make her mark in NXT.”
