With NXT Deadline 2025 coming up on December 6 from San Antonio, Texas — there could be a number of big debuts on the night.
From stars that are already appearing at NXT live events to potential brand new signings to WWE, there might be some fun surprises coming out of the premium live event.
Here are 5 potential debuts at WWE NXT Deadline 2025.
5. Anthony Luke
Seemingly close to making a debut, it could be that Anthony Luke’s time on NXT TV could be up ahead.
Potentially able to make a surprise debut at NXT Deadline — he could also be selected for the Iron Survivor match as an outside pick.
Luke is the real life fiancé of current women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri with their relationship recently being featured in the WWE vlog of her win at Madison Square Garden.
Competing in mixed tag action in NXT house shows, perhaps Luke and Dupri could join forces on TV!

4. Private Party
After losing the AEW Tag Team Championship to the Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin) in January 2025, Private Party has disappeared from AEW TV.
While it remains unknown when Marc Quen and Isiah Kassidy are out of contract with AEW and would even be eligible to sign with NXT — the departure could be soon after previously being rumored to be summer 2025.
Able to definitely make a debut in NXT and make an immediate impact in the rebuilding tag team division, they could also link up with a pair of old pals from AEW.
Potentially joining forces with the Hardy Boyz, there could be a great deal of entertaining segments ahead.

3. Shiloh Hill
Already featuring in a vignette detailing his compelling backstory on the November 18 edition of WWE NXT, Shiloh Hill could be close to making his in-ring debut.
Seemingly bridging his social media presence (in which he has a flair for the macabre, vlogging his creepy purchases for his over 2.7 million followers across platforms) with his NXT character, there could be some interesting things next for Hill.
Appearing on both season one and season two of the A&E competition series LFG (Legends & Future Greats), Hill won season two under the guidance of his coach, The Undertaker.
Possibly set to make a big debut at NXT Deadline, it will certainly be interesting to see what is next for the new character.

2. Elio LeFleur
A fairly new recruit to the WWE Performance Center boasts plenty of indie experience that could signal a quick turnaround before his official on-screen debut.
Now going by the moniker of Elio LeFleur, it seems that a debut could be just around the corner for the masked star.
Previously going under the name Aigle Blanc, the French professional wrestler has recently debuted his new WWE name at a house show.
Bringing together his unique offensive style and charismatic character, LeFleur could definitely end up becoming a fan favorite in short order.

1. Mike Santana
With TNA Final Resolution 2025 being held the night before on December 5, 2025 in El Paso, Texas — perhaps by the time Deadline goes on air, Santana could officially make his WWE debut.
Unlike Joe Hendry or Jordynne Grace who stayed with TNA before making the leap to WWE, Santana’s current contract is reportedly up with TNA.
Conceivably Santana could bypass NXT and head straight to the main roster but it might make sense for him to bring a feud to NXT first.
Set to take on Charlie Dempsey at Final Resolution as a part of the on-going rivalry between brands, it would be incredible to see Santana pop back up at Deadline to kick things up with Dempsey again.
