With Trick Williams officially swapping WWE NXT for SmackDown on January 2, it appears as if more names are set to follow suit in the coming weeks.
From those who have already made an impact on main roster, to others who simply feel as if they’ve done all they can in NXT — there are some interesting call-ups that seem in motion in WWE.
Here are six more WWE NXT call ups potentially coming soon to WWE Raw or SmackDown.
6. Jordynne Grace
Making her appearance on the January 2 edition of WWE SmackDown, Jordynne Grace is seemingly set to take on all comers on SmackDown.
With her call-up to the main roster set to shift the landscape of the women’s division, another change on the night could pave the way for a future title shot for Grace.
With Giulia reclaiming the United States Championship from Chelsea Green on the January 2 edition of SmackDown, perhaps Grace is next to challenge for the title, having already teased a feud with Green earlier in the night.
Able to bring veteran in-ring experience to SmackDown, Jordynne Grace seems poised to have an amazing 2026.

5. Oba Femi
After impressing fans with his short feud with Cody Rhodes heading into the December 13 WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Oba Femi appears set for a big splash on the main roster.
Vignettes for “The Ruler” have been airing on Raw and SmackDown, teasing his arrival which will no doubt be coming sooner rather than later.
Possibly aiming immediately for Cody Rhodes or Drew McIntyre after their Three Stages of Hell Match on the December 9 SmackDown, there could alternatively be an entirely new feud in store for Femi.
A formidable foe to anyone on the SmackDown roster, including Aleister Black or Damian Priest as they wrapped up their feud this week — Oba Femi could be set for very big things in the future.

4. Sol Ruca
After impressing audiences with her performance against Bayley at Saturday Night’s Main Event, it would seem that Sol Ruca is likely set to debut on the main roster.
Poised to make a mark on the women’s division whether she is in singles action or as a tag team, Ruca brings the fun in her matches.
With an innovative move set that relies on her experience in college gymnastics, Ruca brings a uniquely fun element that isn’t found elsewhere on the main roster at the minute.
Potentially bringing along tag team partner ZARIA — Sol Ruca could also certainly make the leap to the main roster on her own.

3. Ethan Page
After Giulia toppled Chelsea Green to reclaim the WWE Women’s United States Championship on the January 2 edition of WWE SmackDown, there could be something big up next for Green.
Considering she continues to hold the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship with Ethan Page, it would make complete sense to see Page join Green on SmackDown.
Adding another element to the growing SmackDown roster, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page would certainly have feuds ahead of him.
Able to take on any number of babyfaces such as Damian Priest, Sami Zayn or even Nathan Frazer, there could be some compelling stories coming soon from Page on Friday nights.

2. Kelani Jordan
While she may have become the inaugural Women’s NXT North American Championship as a babyface back in 2024, Kelani Jordan has since gone on to find herself more so as a heel in recent months.
After a brief spell as a babyface once again, Jordan turned heel during her run as TNA Knockout’s World Champion and is looking set for a big 2026.
While she could be finally poised to win the NXT Women’s Title in the coming year, she could also potentially make the move to Raw or SmackDown as well.
With her fiancé Carmelo Hayes enjoying success on SmackDown, perhaps “The Standout” can join him on the blue brand.

1. Je’Von Evans
While Je’Von Evans is only 21 years old, he joined NXT with a solid foundation of independent wrestling experience under the name Jay Malachi.
Having a standout year in 2025 across all WWE brands, it would seem that the “Young OG” could be poised for a call-up to the main roster soon.
Potentially landing on WWE Raw in lieu of SmackDown given his recent on-screen feud with El Grande Americano, there are certainly options for Evans on the main roster.
Able to continue to forge his own path whilst building his popularity, there could be some exciting new plans and championships heading Je’Von Evans’ way in 2026.
