As WWE gets closer to WrestleMania 41, it is fun to look ahead at which NXT stars will make their main roster debuts after the big event.
While sometimes call-ups happen during the WWE Draft, it wouldn’t be unheard of to see some NXT surprises emerge on the main roster by the time WWE leaves Las Vegas, particularly with the surprises that come as part of the Raw after Mania.
Here are eight NXT stars that could be called up to the main roster to debut after WrestleMania 41.
8. Nathan Frazer & Axiom
Both Nathan Frazer and Axiom could be called up together, even if their main roster plans don’t necessarily keep them together as a team.
The long running NXT Tag Team Champions have taken on Matt & Jeff Hardy for the TNA Wrestling titles and have competed in singles action already on the main roster.
Frazer for his part has connections to Seth Rollins which could create an interesting future program for him as well. While Axiom is masked now, his past in NXT UK and before WWE as A-Kid demonstrated that he is a memorable performer with or without his current gimmick.
With both stars compelling on their own but also able to work spectacularly together, this duo should be called up after WrestleMania 41 for sure.

7. Ethan Page
Since making his debut in NXT, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page has been on a roll – capturing the NXT Championship within his first month on the brand.
Continuing on to high profile matches and interactions, Page has continued to excel in NXT, but is absolutely main roster ready.
With his ability to actually pull off being a believable pain in the neck, Page could be the latest scourge to either Nick Aldis or Adam Pearce.
Ready made for feuds up and down the card, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page is ready to make his debut on SmackDown or Raw.

6. Ricky Saints
Another recent addition to the NXT roster from AEW that shouldn’t stay long is Ricky Saints.
Already demonstrating his star quality in his short time in NXT, Saints has also captured the NXT North American Championship as well as fan’s adoration in a short time.
While it makes sense that he made his debut in NXT, Ricky Saints doesn’t need any more developing of his character or skills to seamlessly enter main roster programs.
He should absolutely be called up after WrestleMania 41.

5. Trick Williams
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Trick Williams has put in a lot of time to get to the top of the NXT mountain.
Having taken on the role as the face of the brand, Trick Williams not only held the NXT Championship, but he’s kept fans interested in all the stories he has told since last year’s Stand & Deliver.
However, it is time for Williams to move on as there is not a lot left for him to accomplish in NXT – so it is time to be called up after WrestleMania 41!
Trick Williams could also lean into his current penchant for violence and join the main roster as a heel alongside Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown.

4. Hank Walker & Tank Ledger
Hank Walker and Tank Ledger are pure entertainment and would be a great addition to the main roster.
While they may not be the most high profile call-up from NXT, the pair are reliable in-ring workers and have proven they are able to connect with the fans.
The main roster sort of always needs a goofy act that is easily understood by live crowds – a gimmick that Hank & Tank certainly fulfil.
Honk, Honk! It is time for Hank & Tank to bring their blue collar brawling to WWE Raw or SmackDown.

3. Roxanne Perez
While she has already made numerous main roster appearances, Roxanne Perez should get a full call-up after WrestleMania 41.
After putting on impressive performances in both the 2025 Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber matches, she has certainly earned it.
Perhaps as a surprise on the Raw after WrestleMania, Perez should be officially on the main roster moving forward.
With exciting feud potentials with Bayley, Lyra Valkyria and others, the future remains very bright for the Prodigy.

2. No Quarter Catch Crew
The No Quarter Catch Crew squad of Charlie Dempsey, Tavion Heights, Myles Borne and Wren Sinclair may be ready for the main roster.
With the members having taken part in big matches outside of NXT – including in TNA Wrestling, Pro Wrestling NOAH and Bloodsport to name a few – it seems as though they’re ready for the next level of competition.
While it might be easy enough to break up the group, they actually work really well together and could be presented as an alternate force to Chad Gable’s heel American Made group.
They may be quiet excellence but No Quarter Catch Crew has weathered the storm of numerous iterations of the group – evolving from previous members Drew Gulak and Damon Kemp – and continues to succeed.

1. Tony D’Angelo
Already having accomplished a lot in NXT, Tony D’Angelo should be called up to the main roster after WrestleMania 41.
With his time in NXT seemingly coming to a close, it would actually be great to see the entire D’Angelo Family on the main roster, but it could make sense that he would arrive solo.
Whether or not his time in NXT ends in a betrayal from his faction remains to be seen, but Tony D’Angelo has plenty of interesting feuds waiting for him on the main roster.
From possible new feuds with old rivals like Bron Breakker and Ilja Dragunov to even reigniting his past feuds with Carmelo Hayes, there are a lot of stories for Tony D to tell.
