Ever since the December 13 WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, there have been reports circulating in regards to NXT stars who will be called up to the main roster.
On the January 2 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Trick Williams and Jordynne Grace made their arrival on the blue brand as highly touted free agents.
With more reports coming out about several different names who could make a similar move, fans could see some more talent who make their debut in the weeks to come.
Here are more new WWE SmackDown signings to potentially debut soon.
7. Lola Vice
Since signing with WWE in 2022, Lola Vice has improved greatly from her MMA background and has become a well developed in-ring performer.
Matching her in-ring acumen, Vice has shown a tremendous amount of charisma and confidence as a character as well.
Considering her improvement over the last year with her regular appearances in Lucha Libre AAA, it feels like the right time for Vice to make the next step in her career.
With recent reports indicating that discussions about her call-up have been happening, Vice could show up on SmackDown where she would be a wonderful addition to the women’s scene.

Ever since his showdown with Cody Rhodes at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, it has become clear that Oba Femi was ready for the main roster spotlight.

However, Femi decided to vacate the title following his win and seemingly will be heading to the WWE main roster in short order.
Coming off his dominant run in NXT, ‘The Ruler’ has everything it takes to be a top star on Friday Night SmackDown and should find himself mixing it up with the other main event talent on the brand, such as Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn and Randy Orton.
