To start 2026, there have been several NXT stars who have been called up to the WWE main roster.
From Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans to Jordynne Grace and Oba Femi, these names have added a great deal to both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
Looking at the current NXT roster, there are even more stars who could make an impact on the main roster following WrestleMania 42.
Here are eight potential WWE NXT call ups after WrestleMania 42.
8. Ethan Page
Since signing with WWE in 2024, Ethan Page instantly started to establish himself as a main event level talent on the NXT brand.
Becoming NXT Champion just two months after his debut, Page etched his name in the record books and showcased everything that makes him a bonafide top star for the brand.
“All Ego” has not slowed down over the past year, holding the NXT North American Championship for over nine months.
Reaching the apex in NXT, it feels like the right time for Ethan Page to make the jump to the WWE main roster where he will fit in nicely with the current crop of talent on either Raw or SmackDown.

7. Kelani Jordan
At WWE Royal Rumble 2026, Kelani Jordan made her debut in the women’s Royal Rumble match.
Showing off her thrilling athleticism and agility, Jordan has been a breakout star from the company’s NIL program.
At just 27 years old, Jordan has a bright future in front of her and could make for a valuable addition to the WWE women’s division.
After becoming the first NIL talent to win championship gold and the inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion, Jordan could reach new heights on the main roster where she has what it takes to grow even further.

6. Lola Vice
Another WWE NXT star who made their debut in the 2026 women’s Royal Rumble was Lola Vice.
Becoming the first Cuban female star to make an appearance in the Rumble, Vice displayed her MMA background and eye popping charisma in a short stint during the match.
While she has found success in WWE, Vice has not been able to capture championship gold over the past three years on NXT – though she did just win the AAA Mixed Tag Team Title with Mr Iguana.
Having an established act that might be better suited for the main roster, Lola Vice could find that big victory she has been chasing on Raw or SmackDown more than she has been able to achieve on NXT.

5. Blake Monroe
Making a name for herself in All Elite Wrestling and STARDOM, Mariah May signed with WWE in June 2025 and quickly became a star to watch on the NXT brand.
Becoming Blake Monroe, the former AEW Women’s World Champion instantly became one of the most prominent names in the WWE NXT women’s scene.
After winning the NXT Women’s North American Championship at the tail end of 2025, reports started to circulate that discussions about Monroe making her way to the main roster at some point in the future.
Following WrestleMania 42, Monroe should be one of the NXT talents who makes the jump to the main roster where she could fit in with the likes of Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair and Stephanie Vaquer very nicely.

4. Sol Ruca
Over the past few months, Sol Ruca has been establishing herself as the must watch talent in the WWE NXT women’s division.
At the December 13 edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Ruca became the first NXT star to score victory on the show with a win over former WWE Women’s Champion Bayley.
Then at WWE Royal Rumble 2026, Ruca opened even more eyes with an impressive performance in the women’s Royal Rumble, spending over 50 minutes in the match and lasting until the final three.
It feels like only a matter of time before Ruca makes her way to the main roster where her stunning array of high flying moves like the Sol Snatcher should make her a major star on Raw or SmackDown.

3. Jacy Jayne
There might not be anyone who improved their stock on WWE NXT more than Jacy Jayne over the past year.
Becoming a two-time NXT Women’s Champion, Jayne established herself in elite company with the likes of Shayna Baszler, Roxanne Perez and Charlotte Flair.
The Fatal Influence leader has left a mark on the NXT brand over the course of the past six years, becoming one of the most decorated female competitors in the show’s history.
After her performance in the women’s Royal Rumble, fans will not have to wait too long before seeing Jayne mix it up with main roster talent like IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss or Jade Cargill following WrestleMania 42 later this year.

2. Ricky Saints
Another former AEW star who has made WWE NXT his new home is Ricky Saints.
Signing with the company in February 2025, it only took Saints one month before he won the NXT North American Championship.
Taking his game to the next level, Saints became only the second man to pin Oba Femi to become the new NXT Champion back at No Mercy 2025 last year.
Now that he is no longer the champion, Saints shouldn’t have to wait long before making the move to the WWE main roster where his exceptional mic and character work makes him a ready made act for Monday or Friday nights.

1. Joe Hendry
On the February 3 edition of WWE NXT, Joe Hendry defeated Ricky Saints, Keanu Carver, Jackson Drake, Sean Legacy, Dion Lennox and Shiloh Hill in a seven-way ladder match to win the NXT Championship.
Hendry has proven himself to be one of the most popular stars on the entire NXT roster and now sits on the mountaintop of the entire brand.
While his reign just started, Hendry does not feel like someone who will have a long run on the NXT brand.
After reaching the top of both NXT and TNA Wrestling, Hendry feels like someone who should become an instant hit on the main roster and could make the jump following the WrestleMania 42 premium live event.
