The WWE Raw after WrestleMania is known for being one of the most fun shows of the year and the height of ‘expect the unexpected’.
From surprise returns to big debuts, there are plenty of tricks that Triple H might have up his sleeve for this year’s edition of the show.
Here are seven WWE Raw After WrestleMania 41 debuts we could see on April 21.
7. Trick Williams
After Trick Williams faces off against Eddy Thorpe in an NXT Underground match, there isn’t much left to do on the brand for the former NXT Champion.
It would make complete sense for him to be called up to the main roster and be featured as a big debut for the WWE Raw after WrestleMania 41.
If he isn’t set to be paired up with Carmelo Hayes, Williams should not debut on SmackDown, but they should instead be kept completely separate until it’s time to revisit their history.
As a possible immediate feud for Bron Breakker (should he leave WrestleMania 41 as the Intercontinental Champion), Trick Williams is an absolute star and would fit right in under the bright lights of Raw on Netflix.

6. Miro
The WWE Raw after WrestleMania 41 would be the perfect place to mark the return of Miro to WWE.
Formerly known as Rusev during his tenure with the company, while he would go on to compete in AEW, he has since become a free agent again.
While the ‘Bulgarian Brute’ is thought by many fans to be likely to return, there have been no reports confirming that he has signed with WWE at the time of writing.
Holding off to debut Miro until after WrestleMania 41 would be a great strategic choice as to not have his return lost in all of the fanfare of multiple big storylines already set up ahead of Mania.

5. Roxanne Perez
Fans and analysts alike have been anxiously anticipating the call-up of Roxanne Perez from WWE NXT for quite some time.
After her record breaking appearance in the 2025 Royal Rumble, it would make sense if she was to make an official main roster debut on the Raw after WrestleMania 41.
With stories left to be told in her feud with Bayley, there could be an easy segue as to what Perez is doing on the show.
While the debut wouldn’t necessarily be a surprise to fans, it would be exciting!

4. Matt Cardona
One WWE Raw after WrestleMania moment that could be a total surprise would be the arrival of Matt Cardona.
With the former Zack Ryder seemingly destined to return, it seems like only a matter of time before the Indy God makes an appearance.
Whether simply making a special guest appearance or an actual full-time return to WWE, fans would be excited to see Matt Cardona back.
Additionally, you know who knew John Cena was a heel all along? Zack Ryder!

3. Malakai Black
While it has been widely expected that Malakai Black will be returning to WWE, there are still more questions than answers.
With the road to WrestleMania speeding by, it is entirely possible that the former Aleister Black won’t debut until after WrestleMania 41.
Having an excellent opportunity to launch Black’s return to the company on a show with a lot of attention, the Raw after WrestleMania might be perfect for the return of the former NXT Champion.
Speaking of former champions in NXT, there is another current NXT star who seems to be wrapping up his time at the Performance Center…

2. Tony D’Angelo
After recently losing the NXT North American Championship, it seems that Tony D’Angelo could be on the verge of being called up to the main roster.
With the ‘Don of NXT’ having been responsible for sending several others to an untimely demise by sending them to ‘sleep with the fishes’, it actually would make sense for D’Angelo to be killed off on NXT TV – only to be resurrected on the WWE Raw after WrestleMania 41.
Whether or not he will stick with his D’Angelo Family teammates for the brand switch remains to be seen – they could always turn on him before his departure.
Either way, Tony D’Angelo would be a great addition to the WWE Raw after WrestleMania 41.

1. The Hardy Boyz
With the partnership between TNA Wrestling and WWE well underway, Matt and Jeff Hardy have already appeared on NXT recently.
However, rumor has it that they are planned for a main roster storyline later in 2025 as well.
There would be no better time than to have the pair return at the WWE Raw after WrestleMania 41 to surprise fans.
Time will tell if the rumors of their planned main roster return prove to be true, but after a lackluster run in AEW, it would certainly be great to see the Hardy Boyz back ‘home’ in WWE.
