Aliyah grinded a lot in the WWE for the past few years as she built herself up as a bonafide wrestler as she came without prior experience. She has now been called up to the main roster as part of the WWE Draft 2021. This was a move that she deserved more than anyone and plenty of congratulations showered her way. Lana was one of them who celebrated with a bikini post when her big moment came along.
Without a doubt, after the announcement of Aliyah’s call-up was announced during last week’s Talking Smack, congratulations flooded up her timeline and she’s felt it a big way. She was also thankful after seeing that WWE’s social media team gathered up some top Superstars sending her congratulations as they have posted those tweets in a graphic.

So, the former Robert Stone Brand member re-tweeted the post with a short caption that said, “Feeling the love. SmackDown is about to get Boujeé.”
Previously, she also shared a set of snaps in a gorgeous red dress to celebrate her trade to the blue brand alongside the below comments,
“It feels great. And to anyone out there that’s watching, I just want to let you know — just keep going. If you have a goal, if you have a plan, if you have a dream in mind, just keep going, keep pushing. If nobody else believes in you, well, guess what? You better believe in you.”
Aliyah was rumored for main roster since July
Aliyah’s main roster call-up has been rumored internally since mid-July after she split up with the Robert Stone Brand. It was said that she made a good impression on officials during a scouting trip, earlier this summer. With Mandy Rose showing up, on NXT, a trade was rumored with the Boujee. She was speculated to be moving up to RAW but then WWE officially sent him to Friday nights.
Aliyah once worked SmackDown on January 3, 2017, for a loss to Carmella. Then she also worked a WWE Main Event episode in March 2020, losing to Natalya. She has often been on the losing end for most of her NXT matches, but hopefully, things will change for her as she received the main-roster call-up. We hope that WWE will have proper creative plans around her.
