Over the course of 2025, WWE SmackDown has seen a number of new signings to debut on its roster.
From Rey Fenix and Fraxiom to Giulia and Aleister Black, these acquisitions have greatly bolstered the roster for the brand in a significant way.
Looking at the wealth of talent over on WWE NXT, there are plenty more ready made stars who could help to make SmackDown the go-to home for the best in-ring competitors and characters in the company.
Here are eight new WWE SmackDown signings to potentially debut soon.
8. Je’Von Evans
At just 21 years old, Je’Von Evans has quickly established himself as one of the most popular stars on WWE NXT.
“The Young OG” has wowed fans all over the world and has made a name for himself as the future of the promotion.
After making a few appearances on the blue brand in 2025, it would make a ton of sense for GM Nick Aldis to look to sign Evans.
Considering how quickly he has solidified himself on NXT, it would not be surprising to see Evans have a similar meteoric rise when he arrives on Friday Night SmackDown.

7. Sol Ruca
Another WWE NXT star who has gotten a few looks on Friday Night SmackDown is Sol Ruca.
Holding multiple championships at once, Ruca has achieved so much in a short amount of time and truly left her mark on NXT.
After impressing fans and those within management for WWE, it seems like a no-brainer that everyone should expect to see Ruca on Raw or SmackDown very soon.
Following her recent relinquishing of the NXT Women’s Speed Championship, Sol Ruca could show up on SmackDown and announce her call-up almost immediately with no one batting an eye.

6. Lash Legend
One of the most improved in-ring performers on the entire WWE NXT has to be Lash Legend.
Since debuting on WWE NXT in 2021, Legend has gone from a charismatic talker to “The Boujee Bully” that fans know her as today.
After developing over the course of the past four years, Legend has also been giving a few matches on the WWE main roster in singles, tag team and multi-man action.
Legend signing with Friday Night SmackDown could see her go after gold or immediately target a top star, such as Tiffany Stratton or Charlotte Flair.

5. Lola Vice
Lola Vice has also undergone her own improvement over the course of the past year by working pretty much anywhere.
Appearing in Lucha Libre AAA, Vice has become a consistent figure in two promotions now.
After coming up short for opportunities at the NXT Women’s and North American Championships, Vice might be ready to take a risk to turn her fortunates around.
Heading to SmackDown gives Lola Vice a chance to make her presence felt in the women’s division or potentially align with Damian Priest against Aleister Black and Zelina Vega.

4. Ethan Page
Ever since signing with WWE in May 2024, Ethan Page has been cemented as a top star for the NXT brand.
“All Ego” has held the NXT Championship twice and is the current North American Champion.
Over the course of his run with the North American Title, Page formed an alliance with Chelsea Green thanks to their mutual Canadian heritage.
Wanting to bring this NXT partnership to the WWE main roster, Ethan Page could sign with Friday Night SmackDown and join Green in taking over the blue brand in a major way.

3. Jacy Jayne
At WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2025, Tatum Paxley defeated Jacy Jayne to win the NXT Women’s Championship.
This caused Jayne and Fatal Influence to attack both Paxley, Izzi Dame and Lola Vice on the October 28 edition of WWE NXT.
Throughout her run with the NXT Women’s Championship, Jayne was able to showcase her skills and abilities, while firmly establishing herself as a star on the rise.
Leaving Fatal Influence behind, it could be time for Jayne to sign with SmackDown and make herself into the superstar she believes she can be.

2. Trick Williams
For the past two years, it feels like fans have been wondering when Trick Williams will make his main roster debut.
The two-time NXT Champion has undergone one of the most fascinating transformations of any star to ever step foot in the brand.
After dropping the TNA World Title and losing to Ricky Saints for the NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc 2025, there is nothing holding Williams back from finally getting called up to the main stage.
Trick Williams is someone who could work well on SmackDown, working alongside the top babyfaces on the brand like Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Sami Zayn.

1. Oba Femi
Oba Femi has been on a reign of dominance unlike any other NXT star that has stepped foot on the brand.
At WWE NXT No Mercy 2025, Ricky Saints defeated Femi to win the NXT Championship, ending his 262 day reign.
Since this loss, “The Ruler” has not been seen on WWE television on any of the company’s programming.
Femi signing with SmackDown could see him answering Ilja Dragunov’s United States Championship Open Challenge and win his first of many titles on the main roster.
