WWE NXT has seen some new stars coming into the brand throughout 2025.
From Ricky Saints to Blake Monroe, these names have become some of the most prominent stars on the show over the course of the past year.
Looking at the talent that has passed through the brand or look to be on their way to the show, there could be quite few new signings to NXT in the weeks and months to come.
Here are eight potentially new WWE NXT signings.
8. Joe Hendry
Despite being signed to TNA Wrestling, Joe Hendry has become one of the most popular stars on WWE NXT.
Hendry has headlined a NXT premium live event and challenged for the top prize on the brand, firmly cementing his spot on the program in a major way.
After appearing on the NXT brand consistently, Hendry could be on his way out of TNA Wrestling at the end of the year and officially signing with WWE to start 2026.
The former TNA World Champion should immediately become one of the top stars on the entire NXT roster after signing with WWE.

7. Kali Armstrong
In May, Kali Armstrong defeated Kylie Rae, Kendal Grey and Wendy Choo to become the inaugural WWE Evolve Women’s Champion.
Since then, Armstrong has firmly established herself as a top star for WWE Evolve and helped establish the new title.
Following her loss to Kendal Grey for the championship, it might be time for Armstrong to officially sign with WWE NXT.
Moving up from Evolve, Kali Armstrong feels like someone with the power, speed and athleticism to become one of the most explosive stars in the entire WWE NXT women’s division.

6. The Vanity Project (Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes)
Since its revival in March 2025, WWE Evolve has established several different stars on the brand.
Becoming the first stable of the revival brand, The Vanity Project have dominated TV time on WWE Evolve with the group consisting of Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes.
Drake and Swipe Right have appeared on WWE NXT TV several times and even formed an alliance with NXT North American Champion Ethan Page.
With Drake currently holding the WWE Evolve Men’s Championship, fans could see The Vanity Project make a slow transition to NXT after signing where they further establish themselves on the brand while building up Evolve.

5. Jaime Garcia (Zozaya)
In October 2025, WWE announced its latest class of recruits for the Performance Center, which included U.K. independent standout Zozaya.
At 23 years old, Zozaya feels like someone who has his whole career ahead of him and could be a future top star on the WWE main roster in the years to come.
With his signing with the company, Zozaya has become Jaime Garcia with his official name change before even making his WWE debut.
Garcia has everything it takes to mark his arrival to WWE NXT in the coming weeks thanks to his exciting in-ring style and impressive look.

4. Danhausen
Danhausen signed with All Elite Wrestling and quickly became merchandise mover for the company, but fans have not seen the star on television in the past couple of years.
After a lengthy absence, Danhausen made a brief return at Ring of Honor Final Battle 2024 in December of last year. However, he has not appeared in either AEW or ROH throughout 2025.
Considering his popularity, it is not surprising to see recent reports indicating that WWE has interest in Danhausen when he becomes a free agent.
Danhausen leaving AEW and ROH to head to WWE could see him become part of the NXT roster where his character would fit in nicely and could become even more popular than it is right now.

3. Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen)
Back in January 2025, The Hurt Syndicate defeated Private Party to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
Since this loss, Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen have not been seen on AEW television throughout the rest of this year.
Considering recent patterns with talent on their way out of the promotion and WWE’s reported interest in the duo, Private Party could be set to leave All Elite Wrestling after a six year run with the company.
Private Party could sign with WWE NXT and take the entire tag team division by storm with their thrilling in-ring styles and charisma.

2. El Hijo del Vikingo
Ahead of WrestleMania 41, WWE announced the acquisition of top Mexican promotion, Lucha Libre AAA.
Since this announcement, El Hijo del Vikingo has been front and center as the face of the promotion and a former two-time AAA Mega Champion.
With his spectacular high flying style, Vikingo is someone who could make a seamless transition to WWE and excite crowds with his lucha libre exploits.
Vikingo signing with WWE NXT could significantly bolster the men’s division that is in need of some legitimate stars at the top of the card.

1. Mike Santana
At TNA Bound For Glory 2025, Mike Santana defeated Trick Williams to win the TNA World Championship.
After reaching the mountaintop of the promotion, Santana now stands atop TNA Wrestling and could go on a major title reign.
To be able to do just that, Santana might have to consider re-signing with TNA because he is set to become a free agent at the end of 2025.
Santana leaving TNA Wrestling and heading to WWE NXT could see him immediately becoming a breakout star that has all the potential to become the face of the brand.
