Here are eight WWE NXT stars to be called up in the near future.

8. Oba Femi

After recently dropping the NXT Championship to Ricky Saints at WWE NXT No Mercy, it could be that The Ruler is headed for the main roster.

Having a dominant reign with both the NXT North American Championship and subsequently the top title in NXT, Femi has demonstrated himself to big a formidable foe.

Poised to take on the likes of Rusev, Sheamus and GUNTHER from day one, Oba Femi could become an amazing threat to a former rival.

Potentially picking back up with Bron Breakker, Oba Femi could become a powerful ally to any babyface hoping to topple The Vision.

7. Je’Von Evans

One potential new addition to the main roster has already been thrilling fans in NXT for quite some time.

21-year old Je’Von Evans may be young in age but not in experience, coming to NXT having already been a standout in indie wrestling.

Appearing on a recent edition of WWE SmackDown to answer Sami Zayn’s open challenge for the United States Championship, Je’Von Evans has now impressed again on the main roster.

Definitely a star that could make the transition sooner rather than later without particularly running the risk of getting lost in the shuffle, Evans has a special likeability that cannot be denied.

An NXT tag team that could be poised to make the switch to the main roster sooner rather than later are Sol Ruca and ZARIA.

Currently a double champion, Sol Ruca holds both the NXT North American Championship and the WWE Speed Championship.

A pair of WWE stars that have continued to shine brightly in NXT happen to function as a tag team in Sol Ruca and ZARIA.

Recently appearing to take aim at the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, it seems that perhaps Sol Ruca and ZARIA could be headed for a future on the SmackDown brand – or in ZARIA’s home country of Australia at Crown Jewel 2025.

One star that could be on the verge of making her debut on the main roster is former TNA Wrestling star, Jordynne Grace.

After besting Blake Monroe at WWE NXT No Mercy in their weaponized steel cage match, Grace seems able to easily move on to the main roster.

Possibly being a great option of a star to institue a weekly open challenge in the women’s division, Jordynne Grace could make her mark on the main roster before she ever touched title gold in the company.

After two impressive showings in the Royal Rumble as well as a landmark first year in the NXT brand, it would seem that former TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace could be main roster bound sooner rather than later.

4. Ethan Page

Continuing his reign as NXT North American Champion by besting Tavion Heights at NXT No Mercy, Ethan Page could still be an amazing call-up in the near future.

Doing incredible character work on NXT alongside fellow proud Canadian Chelsea Green, Page has more than demonstrated his main roster readiness.

Able to strike up rivalries with babyfaces from either WWE Raw or SmackDown, Page could be an invaluable asset as a singles star but potentially even more deadly if he is to remain paired with Chelsea Green,

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 and AJ Lee or even Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

3. Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Jacy Jayne)

While her NXT Women’s Championship victory may have initially surprised fans, Jacy Jayne has gone on to have an amazing run with the title including for a time being double champion with the TNA Knockouts title as well.

Demonstrating her star power in the ring, her running buddy Fallon Henley has continued to demonstrate solid commitment to character throughout her iterations on the WWE NXT brand.

Potentially able to re-ignite old rivalries with main roster stars like Tiffany Stratton (who had a very fun feud with Henley in NXT) as well as possibly even break-up on the main roster and feud with another – there are a lot of possibilities for the duo.

Up until recently the squad had also had a third member in Jazmyn Nyx who revealed after being written off of NXT TV that she had elected not to re-sign with the company. While there has been a tease that Lainey Reid is hoping to join Fatal Influence – time will tell whether or not the duo is planned to become a trio yet again.

2. Trick Williams

After a dominant reign as WWE NXT Champion as well as going on to become TNA Wrestling World Champion as well, Trick Williams certainly seems poised for his next challenge.

Able to seamlessly transition to the main roster as a competent singles star, it could be a great deal of fun for fans to see him reunite with his former NXT tag team partner.

Possibly able to link back up with Carmelo Hayes – since Hayes has recently officially dumped The Miz on screen as his tag team partner – maybe there is a Trick Melo Gang reunion on the horizon.

After coming together again on a recent special edition of NXT TV called NXT Homecoming, there could already be a reunion in the works but waiting to expand to the main roster.

1. Kelani Jordan

Striking while the iron was hot, Jordan was able to capture a brand new accolade after the TNA Knockouts Championship was vacated by Ash by Elegance.

Able to best TNA Knockout and former WWE star Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li), Jordan became the TNA Knockouts Champion at a very unique time. Seeing her switch brands for the upcoming TNA vs. NXT Showdown, Jordan will team with The Iinspiration (Cassie Lee & Jess McKay) and Mara Sade (fka as Jakara Jackson in NXT).

Jordan doesn’t just have the upcoming Survivor Series-style match to contend with however as she is also set to defend the TNA Knockouts title against Indi Hartwell at the upcoming TNA Wrestling pay-per-view, Bound for Glory.

Demonstrating that she can be called upon to be a utility player with short term notice, Kelani Jordan would be an iconic addition to the women’s division on the main roster.
