WWE NXT has seen the debuts of several new talents over the last year with a lot more coming into play throughout 2025.
From Ricky Saints to “Super” Sean Legacy, the stars who have come into the brand over the past few months have completely changed the landscape of NXT.
Looking at the free agency market and WWE Evolve, there are so many different stars who could show up and mark their arrival on NXT in the weeks and months to come.
Here are seven WWE NXT debuts potentially coming soon.
7. Tyra Mae Steele
WWE LFG: Legends and Future Greats gave several talents from the Performance Center their chance in the limelight and to learn under some of the most legendary names in the company’s history.
Through the guidance of The Undertaker, Tyra Mae Steele emerged as the winner of LFG season one.
The 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist showcased a number of skills including in-ring precision that made her an immediate standout and earned her a NXT contract.
Much like WWE LFG male winner Jasper Troy, Steele is about to make her debut on NXT and should garner a major push that should bring her to prominence on the brand.

6. Zena Sterling
When looking at the other WWE LFG finalists, Zena Sterling was one of the breakout stars of the entire first season of the show.
The 21 year old star showcased amazing growth throughout the entire process of the season.
With exceptional in-ring improvement and understanding of character work, Sterling displayed herself as a student of the game with a willingness to learn new things.
While she is scheduled to take part in WWE LFG season two, Zena proved herself to be more than prepared for the opportunity WWE NXT has for her and should make a debut sooner rather than later.

5. Mariah May
Following her epic Hollywood Ending against Timeless Toni Storm at AEW Revolution, Mariah May was revealed to be in her contract year after two years with the promotion.
“The Glamour” has demonstrated a hard hitting in-ring style, splendid talking ability and grandiose character work across her time in All Elite Wrestling and STARDOM.
On May 30, it was revealed that May had been officially removed from the AEW roster page and was on her way to WWE imminently.
With the former AEW Women’s World Champion potentially about to make her debut in WWE, Mariah could walk into the company as the top star on NXT as the brand undergoes a dramatic shift with all the recent call-ups.

4. Keanu Carver
Since the revival of WWE Evolve, there have been several stars who have shined for a variety of reasons.
Among all of the talent that the show has featured, Keanu Carver has felt like an absolute beast who has dominated in singles competition.
Standing at six foot, two inches and weighing 300 pounds, Carver has ripped through anyone who stood across the ring from him.
Keanu seems tailor made to make his way to WWE NXT and stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Oba Femi, Trick Williams or Tony D’Angelo upon his debut.

3. Zayda Steel
The first official prospect to be signed to a WWE ID contract was Zayda Steel.
Debuting on the WWE Evolve brand, Steel has excelled on the show since its revival and been center stage alongside the rest of The Vanity Project.
Feeling right at home in the spotlight, Zayda would not feel out of place in the least bit alongside the WWE NXT women’s division.
At just 21 years old, Steel has her whole career ahead of her and should rise the ranks on WWE NXT almost immediately following her debut, which should come in the near future.

2. Kylie Rae
No other WWE ID prospect came into the company with experience and exposure across different promotions quite like Kylie Rae.
Rae has worked around the world for multiple different promotions, such as All Elite Wrestling, TNA Wrestling and more.
Kylie feels like the kind of star who is already ready to make the move to WWE NXT where she could add further depth to the women’s scene in a time where they are currently rebuilding.
Considering the likes of Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia, Roxanne Perez and Jordynne Grace have all reportedly made the move to the WWE main roster, NXT needs to add more female talent and Kylie feels like someone who could be called up to make an impact.

1. Kali Armstrong
On the May 28 edition 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.
Since debuting on the show, Armstong has showcased immense strength, impressive speed and unbridled intensity against the entire Evolve women’s division.
Signing with WWE in October 2023, Kali has steadily improved since making her debut in September 2024 on NXT Level Up.
Following her performances on WWE Evolve, Armstong feels more than equipped for the NXT women’s division and could become a champion on that brand as well.
