Ever since the December 13 WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, there has been an influx of NXT stars coming to the main roster.
Getting their main roster call-up, these names seemed to be in a prime position for success on both Raw and SmackDown.
Whether it be on Monday or Friday nights, the NXT call-ups are in line to be in title contention and some major storylines in the weeks and months to come.
Here are eight new WWE NXT stars to potentially be pushed after their main roster call-ups.
8. Je’Von Evans
Over the past few weeks, Je’Von Evans has been featured on Monday Night Raw and presented as a free agent from the NXT brand.
After his numerous appearances on the WWE main roster, things became clearer in regards to Evans’ future on the first Raw of the new year.
On the January 5 edition of WWE Raw, “The Young OG” was brought out by GM Adam Pearce and went on to sign him to a contract to be part of Monday nights permanently.
Now that he is officially part of the WWE Raw roster, it shouldn’t take long for Evans to be propelled to superstardom in a significant way.

7. Jordynne Grace
Signing with WWE in January 2025, it felt like Jordynne Grace could become a star who would go directly to the main roster.
“The Juggernaut” was the face of the TNA Wrestling Knockouts division for years and reportedly signed a WWE main roster level contract. However, Grace started on the NXT brand and just never truly found her footing on Tuesdays despite some success.
Jordynne Grace then appeared on the January 2 Friday Night SmackDown as a free agent from NXT who could potentially show up on the show permanently.
If she chooses to go to Friday nights, Grace would be a massive addition to the women’s scene and could get an immediate push.

6. Joe Hendry
On the December 26 episode of WWE SmackDown, Joe Hendry had his main roster in-ring debut.
After signing with the company in the fall of 2025, Hendry looked to be heading to the NXT brand, but he has been someone with experience on the WWE main roster.
In 2025, Hendry made his surprise appearances at both WWE Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 41.
The former TNA World Champion has the charisma and connection with the fans that would immediately make him a very popular babyface on the WWE main roster, which should come with a push on Friday Night SmackDown.

5. Sol Ruca
At the December 13 edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Sol Ruca defeated Bayley in singles action.
After this victory, reports started to circulate that Ruca was in line for a WWE main roster call-up.
Being the only NXT star who picked up a win at the event, it would make a ton of sense for the former WWE Speed Women’s Champion to head to either Raw or SmackDown.
With her exciting high flying in-ring style, Ruca is someone who should be in line for a huge push whenever she makes the jump to the main roster and could mix it up with the top talent, such as Stephanie Vaquer, Tiffany Stratton or Charlotte Flair.

4. Ethan Page
Since signing with WWE in 2024, Ethan Page was immediately positioned in a top position on the NXT brand.
Winning the NXT Championship just two months after his debut, “All Ego” was someone that has shown the character, mic skills and poise to be a ready made main roster talent.
Whether it be on his own or his current partnership with SmackDown’s Chelsea Green, Page has proven himself time and time again, while currently being a double champion holding the NXT North American and AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships.
Page getting called up should lead to a continued push for the current North American Champion and see him positioned as a rising star on either Monday or Friday nights moving forward.

3. Blake Monroe
Another former AEW star who made the jump to WWE NXT over the past year is Blake Monroe.
The former Mariah May showed up in June 2025 and has since firmly established herself on the NXT brand, winning the NXT Women’s North American Championship.
After losing the title, a new report has indicated that Monroe has been discussed for a WWE main roster call-up in the near future.
Considering her experience from STARDOM in Japan and All Elite Wrestling, it makes a ton of sense if Monroe heads to the WWE main roster sooner rather than later where she could immediately become a top star in 2026.

2. Trick Williams
Going from Carmelo Hayes’ sidekick to the face of WWE NXT, there might not be another success story on the level of Trick Williams on the brand.
Over the past four years, Williams has become a two-time NXT Champion and a former TNA World Champion.
On the January 2 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Williams made his official main roster debut by confronting Sami Zayn and staking a claim to the Undisputed WWE Championship.
With all the confidence in the world, it seems like Trick will be placed in a prominent spot on SmackDown moving forward and could become a main event level star before long.

1. Oba Femi
Ever since his appearance on the December 13 WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Oba Femi has been featured in vignettes hyping up his main roster call-up.
“The Ruler” has been on one of the most dominant runs ever seen on the WWE NXT brand in their history.
From his record breaking reign as NXT North American Champion to holding the NXT Championship twice, Femi has been an unstoppable force that could translate extremely well to the WWE main roster picture.
Oba Femi is someone that WWE should invest a lot in and push to the moon whenever he finally makes his official debut on either Raw or SmackDown.
