Since the start of 2026, WWE Raw has seen several different names make their debut on the flagship show.
From Sol Ruca and Ethan Page to Joe Hendry and Oba Femi, these stars have made an immediate impact reshaping the red brand.
Looking at WWE NXT and around the wrestling world, there are various talents that could add a great deal to Monday Night Raw moving forward.
Here are seven potential WWE Raw debuts coming soon.
7. Tatum Paxley
Tatum Paxley has been a member of the WWE NXT roster for over four years, making her debut in February 2022
Over the past four years, Tatum Paxley has grown into one of the most complete and versatile female stars on the WWE NXT roster.
Starting as an understudy to Ivy Nile and growing into NXT’s favorite goth girl, Paxley has become one of the most popular stars regardless of gender on the brand.
Paxley is a former NXT Women’s Champion and is the current NXT Women’s North American Champion.
While she has gold around her waist, it would not surprise anyone to see Paxley get called up sooner rather than later and become a top female star on Raw in the near future.
6. Saquon Shugars
Ever since Darkstate showed up on WWE NXT, every member has stood out in their own way.
Among them all, Saquon Shugars have showcased what makes him different from the way he speaks to how he moves inside the squared circle.
The former independent standout recently found himself at odds with Darkstate, leading to the group turning on him on the May 19 edition of WWE NXT.
This could open the door for Shugars to be called up to the WWE main roster and become part of the Raw brand moving forward.
5. Jaida Parker
Jey Uso recently confirmed his real-life relationship with WWE NXT star Jaida Parker
Jaida Parker is someone who has been a notable star in the WWE NXT women’s division since arriving on the brand.
Ms. Parker has displayed tons of charisma and a no-nonsense attitude that has made her foster a connection with the NXT fanbase.
After nearly four years on the brand, Parker might be ready for the next stage of her young career.
Parker getting a shot on Monday Night Raw would be huge and allow her to bring something different to the wealth of talent in the women’s division right now.
4. La Parka
Ever since WWE acquired Lucha Libre AAA, there have been a number of luchadors who have appeared on the company’s television.
Back at WWE Royal Rumble 2026, La Parka appeared as an entrant in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match.
Long regarded as one of the greatest luchadors in the company’s history, Parka has reinvented himself recently and once again feels like one of the more popular names on the AAA roster.
Wanting to give him a bigger spotlight, fans could see La Parka show up on WWE Raw and make his presence felt like he does every week on AAA on FOX.
3. La Catalina
Another AAA star who has quickly established themselves as someone to keep your eye on is La Catalina.
Since signing with the promotion, Catalina has made it clear that she plans to challenge for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship.
While she has put her name in contention for Flammer’s gold, Catalina has enlisted the help of WWE talent like Lola Vice and Bayley to battle with Los Toxicas.
Considering her rapid rise on AAA, it would not be surprising to see Catalina make an appearance on WWE Raw and quickly make her mark there.
2. Zaria
Zaria turned her back on former tag team partner Sol Ruca on the February 24 episode of WWE NXT
On the April 20 WWE Raw After WrestleMania 42, Sol Ruca made her official main roster debut and became part of the red brand.
During her bout against Liv Morgan, Ruca lost thanks to outside interference from her former tag team partner and friend Zaria.
Despite this brief appearance, Zaria has never officially been called up to the WWE main roster.
Following a two-year stint as one of the most powerful stars in the NXT women’s division, Zaria feels like someone who is more than prepared to take that next step and follow Ruca to Monday Night Raw before long.
1. Tony D’Angelo
Tony D’Angelo has won every championship available to him in WWE NXT, aside from the Men’s WWE Speed Title
Over the course of nearly five years, Tony D’Angelo has established himself as one of the faces of the NXT brand.
D’Angelo made history by becoming the first ever WWE NXT Grand Slam Champion and now sits at the top of the mountaintop as NXT Champion.
Whether it be as the mob boss or his current vigilante persona, D’Angelo has shown the world that he will be someone that can be a main event level talent on Raw or SmackDown down the line.
Tony D getting called up to WWE Raw could see him reunite with Bron Breakker and potentially become the latest “Paul Heyman Guy” in The Vision, making him a huge part of the future of the company for a long time.
