WWE NXT has not seen a ton of callups to the main roster as of late with several names on the roster having been there for multiple years.
From talent introduced during the 2.0 era to those who have more than proven themselves on the brand, it feels like there will be some roster turnover with multiple stars moving up to Raw or SmackDown in the near future.
Putting some of these talents on the main roster would help make room for up-and-coming stars on WWE Evolve, LFG, ID and TNA Wrestling over on NXT in prominent roles moving forward.
Here are eight WWE NXT stars to potentially leave the show.
8. Tony D’Angelo
Ever since being confronted by a mystery figure at his restaurant on the July 29 edition of WWE NXT, Tony D’Angelo has not appeared on the company’s television.
This has led to many fans believing that “The Don of NXT” will make his way to the WWE main roster at some point.
After four years on the brand and winning every title available outside of the NXT Championship, it feels like the right time for D’Angelo to make his presence felt on Raw or SmackDown.
Bringing Tony D to the main roster should be interesting to see how his “mob boss” character works with the far more realistic personas on Monday and Friday nights.

7. ZaRuca (Sol Ruca & ZARIA)
WWE NXT has treated callups differently than in the past with many stars from the brand appearing on the main roster way before they’re actually placed on either Raw or SmackDown.
One such example of this has been ZaRuca appearing on Friday Night SmackDown over the past few weeks.
Whether it be in singles or tag team competition, ZARIA and Sol Ruca have been very impressive and shown why they are considered some of the best the NXT women’s division has to offer.
ZaRuca joining WWE Raw or SmackDown could help to give both a larger spotlight for their eventual split that has been teased on NXT over recent months.

6. Lola Vice
Lola Vice is one of the NXT stars that has been featured on multiple brands in recent months.
Whether it be appearing on WWE TV or Lucha Libre AAA, Vice has grown from her debut back in 2022.
Having been on the NXT brand for the past three years, Vice might be ready for the next step in her career progression on Monday and Friday nights.
Lola Vice moving to Friday Night SmackDown could open the door for her to help bolster the women’s scene that needs rising stars on the roster right now.

5. Jordynne Grace
Another female NXT star who seems ready for the next stage of their career is Jordynne Grace.
Viewed as a high profile free agent signing to start 2025, Grace came from a successful run in TNA Wrestling where she became one of the faces of the company.
However, Grace has not been able to match that same level of success in WWE since officially becoming part of the NXT roster.
With Grace feeling more than ready with her speed, in-ring precision and resume, it would make a ton of sense for the three-time TNA Knockouts World Champion to make the move up to the WWE main roster and become a force to be reckoned with.

4. Lash Legend
Lash Legend is one of the most tenured names on the WWE NXT roster, having debuted on the brand back in 2021.
With four years under her belt on the brand, it might be time for WWE to give Legend a “sink or swim” opportunity on the main roster.
Considering her size, strength and presence, Lash Legend is someone who could make an immediate impact on either Raw or SmackDown.
Having one of the biggest improvements of anyone in the last four years, Legend could become a monster heel that would serve as the perfect foil for the likes of IYO SKY, Tiffany Stratton or Stephanie Vaquer.

3. Jaida Parker
Back at WWE Evolution 2025, Jaida Parker got one of the biggest crowd reactions of anyone in the Number One Contender’s Battle Royal.
Ms. Parker has been solidifying herself on the WWE NXT brand since debuting in the company in 2022.
After three years in the WWE Performance Center and NXT, Parker is due a shot on the main roster where her charisma should help her become one of the most popular stars on either show.
Over on SmackDown, the women’s division is in need of talent to add depth to the scene and putting Jaida Parker on the roster would instantly put the spotlight on her from day one.

2. Oba Femi
At WWE NXT No Mercy 2025, Ricky Saints defeated Oba Femi to win the NXT Championship.
Ever since losing the title, Femi has not been seen on WWE television and seems likely to make the move to the main roster sooner rather than later.
“The Ruler” is a former NXT Champion and the longest reigning North American Champion of all time.
Considering his size, strength and presence, Femi has everything it takes to become a top star on the main stage in WWE.

1. Trick Williams
Going from Carmelo Hayes’ sidekick to the face of NXT, there is no one who has undergone more of an evolution over the course of the past four years than Trick Williams.
The former two-time NXT Champion has a boatload of charisma and is one of the best talkers in the entire company today.
With everything he has proven in NXT and TNA Wrestling, Williams feels more than prepared for the limelight that Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown could offer.
Trick Williams coming to Monday and Friday nights should instantly see him make an impact by stepping up to a top talent like Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton or Jey Uso with all of his bravado and cockiness that he has become known for on WWE NXT.
