With several new faces appearing on the recent editions of SmackDown, there could be brand new debuts on WWE Raw as well.
From NXT stars looking for their big break on the main roster to SmackDown staples that could use a refresh with a swap to WWE Raw – there could be some intriguing debuts coming soon on Netflix.
Here are eight potential debuts on WWE Raw.
8. Oba Femi
Demonstrating himself as a massive threat over the course of the previous two year, Oba Femi is ready for new challengers after being battle tested in NXT.
After recently dropping the NXT Championship to Ricky Saints at WWE NXT No Mercy, it could be that The Ruler may make a WWE Raw debut soon.
Able to take on the likes of Rusev, Sheamus and GUNTHER from day one, Oba Femi could become an immediate threat to another former rival.
Potentially picking back up with Bron Breakker – Femi could become a powerful ally to any babyface hoping to topple The Vision on WWE Raw.

7. Blake Monroe
One star that could be on the verge of making her debut on the main roster is former AEW Women’s World Champion Blake Monroe (fka Mariah May).
After being defeated by Jordynne Grace at WWE NXT No Mercy in their weaponized steel cage match, Monroe could always be main roster bound having wrapped up her debut feud on the brand against Grace.
While Monroe is a definite possibility, it could also be Jordynne Grace that ends up getting the call to WWE Raw as well.
After two impressive showings in the Royal Rumble as well as a landmark year in NXT, Grace is a viable potential contender to make their Netflix debut soon as well.

6. Ethan Page
After beating Tavion Heights at NXT No Mercy to retain his NXT North American Championship, there isn’t a clear sign that Ethan Page is headed to the main roster.
Impressing NXT audiences with incredible character work on NXT – only getting more compelling now that he appears alongside fellow proud Canadian Chelsea Green, Page has more than demonstrated his main roster readiness.
With the duo having both iconic chemistry and inciting new levels of heel heat as a duo – they could become the next massive main roster foe for the likes of CM Punk & AJ Lee or even Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch.
Or with the ability to strike out on his own as a singles star on the main roster, there is a lot for Page to accomplish on WWE Raw.

5. Tiffany Stratton
Potentially making the leap to WWE Raw from SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton could be major addition to the Netflix line-up.
Stratton has been on the main roster since February 2024 but throughout she has featured on the SmackDown brand.
Potentially looking to shake things up across the women’s division, it could be Tiffy Time on Netflix in the near future.
With the upcoming champion vs. champion bout set for Crown Jewel 2025 against Stephanie Vaquer, Stratton’s presence on WWE Raw in the lead up could be a tease of what is still to come.

4. Tony D’Angelo
While it seemed as though perhaps D’Angelo had been written out of NXT TV entirely with his last appearance featuring a cliff-hanger ending but recent reporting has given more details.
It has been noted that Tony D’Angelo is not out of action due to injury but rather was taking some time off.
Potentially leading to a return to NXT, it would perhaps be even better for the absence to launch D’Angelo onto a new role on the main roster.
Able to keep the Sopranos-esq gimmick or debut something brand new entirely – Tony D’Angelo still has a lot of compelling stories left to tell in WWE.

3. Motor City Machine Guns
Since joining WWE in October 2024, the Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley) have become staple on the SmackDown brand.
However potentially looking to branch out in pursuit of new competition, the duo could eye a swap to WWE Raw.
Opening up new potential rivalries with the likes of American Made, Los Americanos, New Day and the Judgment Day – the veteran duo could join the ranks as a babyface tag team.
With the tag team division across both WWE Raw and SmackDown requiring a bit of balancing at the minute, the Motor City Machine Guns would be an excellent addition to Raw.

2. Lance Anoaʻi
Lance Anoaʻi signed with WWE in July 2024 however has yet to make his in-ring debut.
The former MLW star comes pre-loaded with previous industry experience including in Japan with Pro Wrestling NOAH but also a very famous lineage as the son of Samu.
While there was initial speculation that Anoa’i would be tapped to join NXT before any potential move to the main roster, a lot has changed in the overall Bloodline storyline since July 2024.
With the surprise return of Roman Reigns to join forces with The Usos, perhaps Lance Anoa’i will end up lending a hand as well as the Bloodline battles The Vision on WWE Raw.

1. Shiloh Hill
The second season of the A&E reality competition series WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats) has concluded with the winners being revealed to be both from Team Undertaker.
With the winners confirmed as Shiloh Hill and Dani Sekelsky, both are poised to make their NXT debuts in the near future.
During his two seasons on the show, Shiloh Hill has captured imaginations beyond the wrestling ring – boasting over 2.7 million followers across social media platforms.
Potentially setting him up for a smooth transition straight to the main roster, Shiloh Hill could become a major player on WWE Raw in the near future.
