More WWE NXT stars to be called up to the main roster after Cruz Montana: Four other names that will move up to Raw & SmackDown

On the November 2 episode of Monday Night Raw, Cruz Montana made his official main roster debut by joining the 946 in a beatdown on Roman Reigns and The Bloodline.

This marked another NXT call-up to the group, following in the footsteps of Jaida Parker and OTM.

Following WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2026, there could be even more NXT talents who might make a similar jump to the one that Montana just made.

Here are four more WWE NXT stars to be potentially called up to the main roster after Cruz Montana.

Kelani Jordan

On the September 14 edition of WWE Raw, Lola Vice defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan to qualify for the Women’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

This marked the first main roster appearance for Jordan as the reigning NXT Women’s Champion.

“The Standout” has been one of the most prominent stars in the NXT women’s division for the past few years.

After making her presence known in recent weeks on both Raw and SmackDown, it might be time for Jordan to officially make the jump to the WWE main roster following Cruz Montana’s debut.

Myles Borne

Looking at the men’s division, there might not be another WWE NXT star who has had a bigger year than Myles Borne.

The former No Quarter Catch Crew member won his first singles title when he defeated Ethan Page to become the NXT North American Champion.

Then, Borne went on to become a double champion when he captured the NXT Tag Team Championships alongside Tavion Heights.

Following his recent falling out with Heights and losing his gold, nothing will stop Borne from making the move to the WWE main roster and becoming part of Raw or SmackDown in the near future.

Tony D’Angelo

Over the course of the past five years, Tony D’Angelo has become one of the faces of WWE NXT.

Making history on the brand, D’Angelo became the first ever NXT Grand Slam Champion, holding every title available to him on Tuesday nights.

The former NXT Champion recently failed to regain the title against Grayson Waller at Halloween Havoc 2026.

With everything he has accomplished and his status as a top star on the brand, Tony D should be more than ready for the next stage of his career and get his long awaited main roster call-up in the coming weeks or months.

Kendal Grey

No one has taken WWE NXT by storm more than Kendal Grey over the past year.

After reaching the top of the Evolve brand as the Evolve Women’s Champion, Grey made the move to WWE NXT.

In less than a year, Grey became the Iron Survivor and eventually captured the NXT Women’s Champion.

Considering her meteoric rise, it would not be surprising whatsoever to see Kendal Grey make the next move to the WWE main roster and showcase her outstanding ability against the best that the company has to offer sooner rather than later.
