Ahead of the road to WrestleMania 42, there could soon be some exciting new faces joining the WWE SmackDown roster.
With a number of potential call-ups that could be on the horizon, it would seem that some may be headed for Friday nights.
Here are seven potential debuts on WWE SmackDown.
7. Lola Vice
One debut that could be coming to WWE SmackDown in the near future is Lola Vice.
Recently striking out with appearances in AAA, Vice has continued to impress audiences with her serious MMA background running through her fun on-screen character.
Teaming up with Mr. Iguana to face off against Chelsea Green and Ethan Page for the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship, it could be that Lola Vice is headed for more interactions on SmackDown with Green.
Certainly able to hold her own both in the ring and on the mic, it seems that 2026 could be the year that Lola Vice gets called up to the main roster.

6. Ethan Page
Ethan Page has been on an amazing run since joining NXT and could absolutely be ready to hit the main roster.
Already having made an appearance on WWE SmackDown alongside his fellow AAA Mixed Tag Team Champion Chelsea Green when she re-captured the United States Championship — the celebration was notably not in the ring.
Potentially still on the verge of making a big debut on SmackDown with Green and Alba Fyre, it could be that the time is coming soon for Page’s call up to main roster.
The perfect addition to SmackDown, Page could be poised to have future feuds with the likes of Jacob Fatu, Ilja Dragunov or even Cody Rhodes.

5. Jordynne Grace
Of all of the impressive talent in the NXT women’s, Jordynne Grace is someone with the experience as well as skills to absolutely flourish on the main roster.
With the versatility to portray either a babyface or a heel character with ease, Grace has been largely presented as a babyface thus far in NXT, but has recently shown signs of potentially turning heel.
Grace boasts an overall solid character and veteran in-ring skills that could rival any of the top singles stars on SmackDown.
Whether continuing in a babyface role, or taking her potential soon-to-be-adopted heel character to Friday nights, Grace is someone who has a very bright future.

4. Ricky Saints
After his loss to Oba Femi at WWE Deadline for the NXT Championship — it seemed as though perhaps Ricky Saints was headed for the main roster.
Instead, he turned heel by attacking Iron Survivor match winner and Oba Femi’s next opponent Je’Von Evans on this past Tuesday’s show.
Despite this new feud on NXT, Saints is certainly main roster ready and could be headed for a future program on SmackDown and possibly still feuding with Evans.
A solid choice for an NXT star on the rise who could be hitting the main roster very soon, Ricky Saints could be on the blue brand in 2026.

3. Kelani Jordan
Kelani Jordan has continued to be a standout on the NXT roster, particularly since a recent heel turn has seeming turned up the volume on her character.
Already having a landmark year in NXT, Jordan represented TNA Wrestling as the Knockouts Champion for 53 days this fall.
Bringing her background in gymnastics into her in-ring work, Jordan has gained new confidence in her heel character and is seemingly on the verge of a breakout in the women’s division.
Certainly able to make the leap to the main roster, Jordan could unite on-screen with any number of characters to bolster her star power even further, bringing her bad attitude to a new level.

2. Je’Von Evans & Leon Slater
One pair of NXT stars that could make their mark on the WWE SmackDown roster are Je’Von Evans and TNA Wrestling star Leon Slater.
With the duo already poised to face off against AJ Styles and Dragon Lee at Saturday Night’s Main Event, it seems as though the pairing is going places.
Definitely able to hop between NXT and the main roster, Je’Von Evans would make the perfect addition to the blue brand in 2026.
Joining forces with the TNA Wrestling X-Division Champion Leon Slater has brought an entirely new element to Evans’ already impressive in-ring skills, strength and speed.

1. Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley & Lainey Reed)
A potential call-up from NXT to SmackDown that could have an immediate impact is the trio of Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reed — Fatal Influence.
With the combination of stars boasting plenty of in-ring ability and charisma, the trio might be a solid fit on SmackDown.
Able to tangle with heels and babyfaces alike, Fatal Influence has already demonstrated in NXT and TNA Wrestling that they’re ready to fight anyone.
Potentially presented as a complete group, it would be hard for any foe of the faction to know where the group might strike next.
