WWE NXT has had a stellar year thus far in 2025, with multiple rising stars and free agent signings arrive on the brand.
From Sean Legacy and The Vanity Project to Ricky Saints and Blake Monroe, these talents have added so much to the show and bolstered the roster tremendously.
Whether it be stars from WWE Evolve or high profile free agents, there could be even more stars who will be coming to NXT to make an impact in similar fashion to these names.
Here are seven potential debuts on WWE NXT.
7. Kylie Rae
When WWE introduced their Independent Development program, the most known star to sign was definitely Kylie Rae.
With experience working for All Elite Wrestling and TNA Wrestling, Rae is a talent who has immediately come in to become a prominent star on their WWE Evolve revival brand.
Considering her veteran experience and established plucky underdog babyface persona, Kylie would fit in very nicely with the NXT roster.
While the women’s division has so much depth, they currently do not have anyone quite like Kylie making her someone who could bring new things to the table.

6. Zena Sterling
During WWE LFG: Legends and Future Greats season one, one of the big breakout stars had to be Zena Sterling.
Under the tutelage of Bubba Ray Dudley, Sterling showcased a great deal of growth and improvement over her time on the show, making it to the finals of season one.
Coming back for season two, Sterling has to be considered the favourite to win the NXT contract and be the second female winner of WWE LFG.
Zena can come into WWE NXT and bring her eccentric attitude along with ever improving in-ring ability to become someone who could rise up the ladder in short order.

5. Shiloh Hill
Another returning talent from WWE LFG season one is Shiloh Hill, who is once again on Team Undertaker.
Standing at six foot, three inches, Hill has the size and stature that should catch the eyes of the fans and immediately allow him to stand out from the pack.
Making it to the finals of season one, Hill has to be another star who is a favourite to win LFG season two and continue to improve immensely through this process.
Eventually debuting on WWE NXT, Shiloh has an untapped potential due to his unbridled intensity and having something that makes him a unique prospects among the rest of the LFG contestants.

4. Keanu Carver
During the first few months of the WWE Evolve revival, Keanu Carver has established himself as the monster on the show.
With his impressive size, strength and physique, Carver has struck fear in the heart of everyone before him and had a dominant run on the brand.
Considering his football background, this will help him to make a smooth transition from Evolve to NXT when the time is right.
Being able to stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Oba Femi, Trick Williams and Jasper Troy, Carver has something that not many competitors in the Performance Center has right now.

3. Leon Slater
Leon Slater signed with TNA Wrestling in 2024 and immediately became someone that everyone looked at as the future of the promotion.
At just 20-years-old, Slater has to be in the conversation for the most impressive future star in wrestling today.
Having a spectacular high flying arsenal and an underrated amount of charisma, “The Youngest In Charge” has gained a lot already during his time in TNA, being the protege to the legendary Hardys.
Slater making his debut on WWE NXT seems inevitable where the company will see someone who can be paired up with the likes of Je’Von Evans as a future top star for years to come.

2. Masha Slamovich
The biggest TNA Wrestling star to not officially debut on WWE NXT yet is TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich.
Back in January, Slamovich appeared in the front row of the Performance Center watching the action, but she has yet to be seen on WWE NXT TV since then.
Over the course of the past nine years, Masha has cemented herself as one of the best women’s wrestlers in the world today across multiple promotions like TNA, GCW and all around the indies.
Slamovich would not look out of place at all among the talented NXT women’s division and could break out thanks to her unique look as well as her versatile in-ring ability.

1. Kali Armstrong
On the May 28 episode of WWE Evolve, Kali Armstrong made history by defeating Kylie Rae, Kendal Grey and Wendy Choo to become the inaugural WWE Evolve Women’s Champion.
Having stunning athletic ability and unreal speed, Armstrong has impressed fans, peers and management with her skills inside the squared circle.
Putting in the work to become someone the company can believe in, there have already been recent reports that say WWE see Armstrong as a future WrestleMania headliner.
Kali finally getting her WWE NXT debut seems like something that is destined to happen relatively soon and should see her skyrocket to the top sooner rather than later.
