A new wrestling star is quickly becoming a fan favorite after a breakout moment that took everyone by surprise. His unexpected appearance at
WWE
and AAA's Worlds Collide event got people talking, and later, when he was seen in the crowd at Money in the Bank, the reaction was massive.
Since then, WWE has been moving fast, and it seems he will not be heading to NXT like most new talents.
The rising AAA sensation, Mr. Iguana, impressed fans with his fun energy, colorful style, and playful iguana puppet, La Yezca. His presence quickly went viral, and WWE responded by airing a video package about him on RAW. He later appeared briefly on NXT, but that was not a long-term move, WWE already has plans to bring him straight to the main roster.

In a recent interview with Línea Directa TV,
Mr. Iguana
shared what WWE told him. They do not want him to go through the NXT system. Instead, they are moving him right to the top.
'I'm there effectively. Like literally I was in the Performance Center yesterday and they told me, 'You're not going through NXT, you're heading straight to the main roster.''
