Over the past few months, WWE NXT has undergone a transition process that has seen several stars leaving or arriving on the brand.
Following the main roster callups of Oba Femi, Je’Von Evans, Jordynne Grace and Trick Williams, the NXT brand had some voids to be filled with the likes of Keanu Carver, Sean Legacy and The Vanity Project becoming full-time members of the roster.
There should be even more names that eventually make their debuts in the coming weeks that will further solidify the NXT roster in a significant way.
Here are seven new WWE NXT debuts potentially coming soon.
7. Dorian Van Dux (Mike D Vecchio)
Officially signing with WWE in late 2025, Mike D Vecchio has been someone that fans have been anticipating to debut on NXT.
Making a name for himself on the European independent scene, D Vecchio became known for his combination of strength and high flying skills inside the squared circle.
Most recently, D Vecchio has started going by the ring name of Dorian Van Dux at WWE NXT live events.
Van Dux will bring his brand of intensity to WWE NXT sooner rather than later and has what it takes to be an intimidating force on the show moving forward.

6. Kam Hendrix
During the first two seasons of WWE LFG, one of the notable standouts out of the rookies was Anthony Luke.
Drawing comparisons to The Rock for his look and charisma, Luke was also polished in the ring and had a level of confidence not always seen from someone with his experience.
Recently, Luke has made his way to WWE Evolve where he has become known as Kam Hendrix and became the leader of the Team PC, featuring talent from the Performance Center.
After displaying his talking and in-ring ability well on Wednesday nights, Hendrix might be the next up to make the transition from Evolve to NXT in the near future.

5. Elijah Holyfield
Another rookie standout from the WWE LFG season one and two had to have been Elijah Holyfield.
The son of famous boxer Evander Holyfield made a name for himself on the show thanks to his unbridled rage that was displayed in several situations.
Tapping into a different side of himself under the wisdom of The Undertaker and Bubba Ray Dudley, Holyfield made steady improvement to every aspect of himself in the pro wrestling business.
Now with another year in the ring training under his belt, it might just be a matter of time before Holyfield becomes the latest breakout star from the PC on WWE NXT.

4. Romeo Moreno (Jaime Garcia/Zozaya)
Another European star who has recently signed with WWE is Zozaya, real name Jaime Garcia.
With his speed, agility and athleticism, Garcia was able to catch some eyes on the European independent scene for promotions like RevPro Wrestling and PROGRESS Wrestling.
Since signing with WWE in the latter half of 2025, the Spaniard formerly known as Zozaya is now being referred to as Romeo Moreno during NXT live events.
The recent name change might indicate that Moreno is close to making his on-screen debut on the WWE NXT brand.

3. PJ Vasa
Someone else who has gained a lot of attention for her work on WWE LFG over the first two seasons was PJ Vasa.
Previously appearing under her real name Penina Tuilaepa, Vasa showcased herself as someone with confidence and a unique talking ability.
Earning the nickname of ‘P Nasty,’ the former LFG star has made her presence known on the Evolve brand and looks to challenge Kendal Grey for the Evolve Women’s Championship at the upcoming Succession II show.
With her recent elevation on Wednesday nights, it would make sense if PJ Vasa follows in the footsteps of her recent rival Grey by heading to WWE NXT next.

2. Danhausen
Fans have not seen Danhausen in an AEW or Ring of Honor ring since his surprise appearance at ROH Final Battle 2024.
Since his last appearance, there have been reports and rumors indicating that the ‘Very Nice, Very Evil’ star has some interest from WWE.
With his established character and natural charisma, Danhausen feels like someone who would fit in well over in WWE NXT.
Considering his AEW contract is expected to expire soon, fans could see Danhausen grace their TV screens once again on The CW on Tuesday nights.

1. David Finlay
At NJPW The New Beginning in Osaka 2026, Callum Newman defeated David Finlay. Post-match, Finlay gave a tearful and emotional farewell to Gedo, Hiromu Takahashi and the fans in what looked to be a goodbye to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
This led to some conversation in regards to where the former Bullet Club War Dogs leader could be heading next.
Considering his connection with his father Fit Finlay and brother Uriah Connors who work in WWE, it felt like a no-brainer that David Finlay would be next to join the company once he was a free agent.
Despite recent reports about not having any major main roster interest, it seems like the cards have been put into place for Finlay to make his debut on WWE NXT where he could become the newest member of the ongoing Birthright stable and storyline.
