After the recent addition of Lash Legend from WWE NXT, there could be more new signings coming soon to Friday Night SmackDown.
From more NXT main roster call-ups, to other stars that could pop-up for the Last Time Is Now tournament to determine John Cena’s final WWE opponent — there could be some big new signings arriving soon.
Here are seven new WWE SmackDown signings that could debut soon.
7. Joe Hendry
The arrival of Joe Hendry on WWE SmackDown could actually be coming sooner than fans might expect with a mystery opponent set for tonight’s show.
With the first round opponent for LA Knight in the Last Time Is Now tournament yet to be revealed — after SmackDown GM Nick Aldis declined to name the star when he pulled the name — it may be the arrival of Joe Hendry.
Whether or not Hendy advances in the bout is almost inconsequential as his goal of snagging a match against John Cena could still come true.
With John Cena without an opponent for the upcoming November 17 edition of WWE Raw, perhaps it will be Hendry that makes an appearance at Madison Square Garden.

6. Shiloh Hill
Winner of the second season of the A&E competition series WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats) Shiloh Hill could be headed for a debut on SmackDown.
Making a fun entrant in the Last Time Is Now tournament to determine who will be John Cena’s final WWE opponent, Hill could lose a match against anyone on the roster and still look strong for having appeared.
With a social media following that tops over 2 million across platforms, Hill could create a fun viral moment for WWE in his debut.
Known for his spooky antics on TikTok, Shiloh Hill seems as though he could easily become a fixture on the main roster in the years to come.

5. Kelani Jordan
Still carrying the TNA Knockouts Championship, Kelani Jordan could be headed for even more big things on the main roster.
Having a backstage interaction on a recent edition of NXT with Trick Williams in which she declared “I am HER,” it could be that the blend of Carmelo Hayes’ on-screen persona is set to meet with Jordan’s.
A real life couple, the pair could end up being an amazing duo on the main roster which has seen a recent emergence in mixed tag teams.
Being an amazing future feud for Aleister Black and Zelina Vega or even CM Punk and AJ Lee, perhaps Kelani Jordan will join Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown soon.

4. Ricky Saints
While he has made a big impact already since joining the WWE NXT roster, it could be that Ricky Saints makes his SmackDown debut soon.
Potentially joining the Last Time Is Now tournament on behalf of NXT, the current NXT Champion also still has his hands full after recently besting Trick Williams to retain.
After the brutal and bloody battle for the NXT Championship, it would end up being a returning Oba Femi that confronted Saints in what seemed to be a quest for The Ruler to reclaim his NXT title.
Potentially being a catalyst to end up being rocketed into a main roster storyline, Saints could end up dropping the title back to Femi in the near future and beginning his main roster journey rather than holding the NXT Championship for an extended period of time.

3. Sol Ruca
With Sol Ruca being medically cleared ahead of NXT Gold Rush, NXT GM Ava reminded the persistent star that the clearance was “as tolerated” as she and ZARIA dissuaded her from hopping back into action.
However, Ruca could not be deterred and is instead set to face off against Blake Monroe on NXT for the women’s North American Championship.
Potentially the route that Ruca will take in order to be written off of NXT, she could lose to Monroe or even have ZARIA turn on her.
While there are still stories left for Sol Ruca to tell in NXT, it could be her time to shine and move up to SmackDown after closing the chapter on her current feuds in the Performance Center.

2. Trick Williams
After losing the TNA Wrestling World title to Mike Santana at Bound For Glory and ending his 140 day reign, Williams went back on a quest to conquer Ricky Saints to reclaim the NXT Championship.
However, Saints was able to beat Williams in a last man standing match to retain the NXT Championship, potentially leaving Trick to move on to the main roster.
Certainly able to debut on the main roster as a singles star, it would possibly make even more sense to Trick move up to SmackDown and join forces with former partner, Carmelo Hayes.
Making their mark on the blue brand, a Trick Melo Gang reunion could end up proving to be the perfect in-between tag team that aren’t babyface or heels.

1. Matt & Jeff Hardy
Among all the names that could make their way to WWE from TNA Wrestling, perhaps none are more beloved by fans than Matt and Jeff Hardy.
While the Hardy Boyz still hold the TNA Wrestling Tag Team Championship, their contracts with the company are reportedly set to expire soon.
With the pair making no secret that they hope to return to WWE for one final run in the future, perhaps the time might be approaching.
Certainly able to make a return on SmackDown and for a raucous fan reception, the return of the Hardy Boyz may be soon.
