Monday Night Raw has reestablished itself as the flagship show of WWE since premiering on Netflix in January.
In 2025, the red brand has become the new home of several WWE stars that have made their debut after being free agents or NXT talent.
From Penta to Stephanie Vaquer, these stars have added a lot of depth to every division on the show, and there could be many more that could be valuable assets to the brand moving forward.
Here are eight new WWE stars to potentially join Raw.
8. Lola Vice
Looking at the WWE NXT roster, Lola Vice is one of the more experienced talents who has been making a name for themselves for the past three years.
While not capturing gold like many of her peers, Vice has steadily been improving, while showcasing her natural charisma the entire time.
The former MMA fighter has used her background to great success and could translate well onto the WWE main roster when the time is right.
Vice joining her friend Stephanie Vaquer on Monday Night Raw could offer the company a new women’s tag team who could be destined for championship gold and eventually lead to a heated feud between the two.

7. Joe Hendry
Back in March, WWE visited Scotland with many fans expecting the company to call in one of the country’s biggest wrestling stars, Joe Hendry.
However, the former TNA World Champion was not on that episode of Monday Night Raw before eventually showing up as Randy Orton’s mystery opponent at WrestleMania 41 the following month.
Having big showcase moments at Royal Rumble 2025 and Mania, it seems like the next step might be for Hendry to appear on Raw.
With his larger-than-life personality and signature theme song, Hendry is guaranteed to receive an earth shattering pop when it is finally time for him to debut on Monday Night Raw in the near future.

6. Tony D’Angelo
There is no other WWE NXT star who has the experience on the brand to the level of Tony D’Angelo.
Debuting on the show in 2021 during the early days of the 2.0 era, “The Don of NXT” has come a long way from his beginning stages.
After winning every title available to him except the NXT Championship, D’Angelo has little left to accomplish and may need the move to the main roster to make the next step in his career.
Tony D heading to Monday Night Raw could see him become a major player in no time, bringing his entertaining character and improved in-ring skills to the mid-card scene immediately.

5. Charlie Dempsey
Ever since making his WWE debut, Charlie Dempsey has displayed his technical ability that seems beyond his years of experience inside the squared circle.
Being the son of William Regal, Dempsey has so much to live up to and has continued to deliver week in, week out on NXT.
The No Quarter Catch Crew leader has been ready for the main event scene on WWE NXT, but he may already be tailored for Raw and SmackDown.
After competing in several different promotions like TNA Wrestling, GCW and AJPW, Dempsey may be polished enough to not look out of place among the Monday Night Raw roster.

4. El Hijo del Vikingo
Ever since WWE announced the acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA ahead of WrestleMania 41, El Hijo del Vikingo has been front and center as the face of the Mexican promotion.
On the May 31 edition of AAA Alianzas, Vikingo defeated Alberto El Patron to become a two-time AAA Mega Championship.
Re-cementing himself at the top of the company, it seems like a no-brainer for WWE to want to showcase him on the main roster at some point.
Vikingo making his way to Monday Night Raw would show the world his unique and stunning high flying ability, while also putting a huge spotlight on AAA in a major way.

3. Ricky Saints
In February, Ricky Saints made his WWE debut, surprising the wrestling world when he showed up in the crowd on NXT.
It only took the former AEW star a month before he captured championship gold, winning the NXT North American Championship.
After losing the title to Ethan Page in May, reports and rumours started to circulate that Saints could make his main roster debut imminently.
Possessing incredible talking ability and underrated in-ring skills, Ricky could make his way to Raw where he could be a massive addition to Seth Rollins’ new faction or even work alongside his former AEW co-worker in CM Punk.

2. Ethan Page
On the May 27 edition of WWE NXT, Ethan Page defeated Ricky Saints to win the NXT North American Championship.
Since making his WWE debut, “All Ego” has established himself as the top heel on NXT and showcased everything that helped him establish his name around the world.
Having the mic skills and character work necessary for the WWE main roster, it seems like only a matter of time before Page becomes a prominent star on Raw or SmackDown.
Heading to Monday Night Raw, Page feels like the right fit for the Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman new faction where he could play a significant role in helping cement the group’s status on top of the red brand.

1. Mr. Iguana
It is without a doubt that the biggest star of the WWE & AAA Worlds Collide premium live event had to be Mr. Iguana.
Receiving one of the biggest reactions at that event as well as Money In The Bank 2025, the company saw money in the Lucha Libre AAA star.
With his impressive merchandise sales and character work that cultivated a connection with the audience, WWE has to make plans to capitalize on the popularity of Iguana and his trusty sidekick La Yesca.
Iguana has everything it takes to make him one of the most beloved luchadors in WWE today and a spot on Monday Night Raw could be what’s in store for the veteran moving forward.
