WWE NXT currently has one of the strongest rosters its ever assembled as 2024 comes to a close and 2025 is set to begin.
From the additions of Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer and ZARIA to the women’s division and the likes of Ethan Page and Je’Von Evans joining the men’s division in 2024, it seems like the right time for some call-ups to the main roster.
Whether it be a former champion or a rising star, there are a wealth of talent that could become a factor on Raw or SmackDown in the months to come.
Here are seven WWE NXT stars to be potentially called up to Raw and SmackDown.
7. Oba Femi
At NXT Halloween Havoc, Tony D’Angelo defeated Oba Femi in a Tables, Ladders and Scares Match to retain the NXT North American Championship. Since then, fans have not seen Femi on WWE NXT TV.
Femi broke out in a major way during 2024 and has quickly cemented himself as a future top star in WWE.
While it may be a quick call-up, Femi has everything it takes to be successful on Raw and SmackDown.
From an awe inspiring physique to a fierce presence unlike anyone in the company, Oba could become a WWE Champion sooner rather than later, so no time like the present to bring him where he belongs on the main roster.

6. Cora Jade
Cora Jade has been mentioned as a potential main roster call-up since her initial run on NXT 2.0 in 2020.
Since then, Jade has underwent two different leg injuries and surgeries, having persevered and returned to the ring recently.
When it comes to poise, mic skills and character work, Jade has proven to be someone who can hold their own on the main roster with any talent.
Cora could become a prominently featured act on Raw or SmackDown following the newly introduced WWE Women’s United States and Intercontinental Championships.

5. Sol Ruca
Another NXT female talent who could immediately make an impact on the WWE main roster is Sol Ruca.
After returning from ACL injury, Ruca has hit the ground running and gotten back to where she was before her surgery.
Ruca is someone who brings something different to the table that not many ladies on the main roster can offer.
Ruca has a wonderful blend of high flying, innovative offense and a unique character that could become a player for the Raw or SmackDown women’s division.

4. Nathan Frazer
Since the start of their second reign as NXT Tag Team Champions, Nathan Frazer has been much more concerned with singles achievements than continuing their success in the tag team division.
Frazer took part in the Speed Championship tournament and has never shied away from going after gold on the main roster.
The current NXT Tag Team Champion getting called up to Raw or SmackDown would bring one of the most athletically gifted and fastest stars in all of WWE to more eyes.
Frazer facing the likes of Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn or Rey Mysterio could deliver some of the most thrilling and death defying matches seen on the main roster in a very long time.

3. Ethan Page
Following the end of his AEW run, Ethan Page made his arrival to the WWE NXT brand by immediately laying out and going after NXT Champion Trick Williams in May 2024.
“All Ego” has seemed like a ready-made main roster star since his WWE debut and has what it takes to stand out from the pack.
The former AEW star moving to Raw and SmackDown could bring either brand a future United States or Intercontinental Champion from the offset.
With his history from AEW and the indies, Page could make a fabulous opponent for the likes of CM Punk, Kevin Owens or Cody Rhodes.

2. Trick Williams
When he first appeared on the main roster in early 2024, Trick Williams garnered a huge crowd reaction that showed the WWE that they had a future top star on their hands.
From an impressive look to his impeccable microphone skills, Williams has an “IT factor” that cannot be denied for long and should be showcased on the main roster.
With a boatload of charisma, Trick should instantly become a very popular babyface that could rise the ranks and be in position for gold in a hurry.
The current NXT Champion has plenty of history with Carmelo Hayes, Bron Breakker and Ilja Dragunov, but he can also be an intriguing opponent for GUNTHER, Jey Uso or Solo Sikoa.

1. Roxanne Perez
Roxanne Perez is a surefire superstar that has to be considered the must watch prospect on the NXT brand.
Showcasing her ability to play the plucky underdog babyface and cocky, narcissistic heel, Perez has proven that she has “future WrestleMania main eventer” written all over her.
There should not be many doubts from anyone within the company that Perez will make a smooth transition and be successful on WWE Raw and SmackDown.
From showdowns with Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley or Liv Morgan, there is so much to explore with Perez on the main roster and could offer WWE their next major star to feature for the next decade.
