Over the course of the past year, WWE NXT has gained a lot of exposure through signing some of the top free agents in wrestling.
From the likes of Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia to Ricky Saints and Zaria, the brand has been bolstered with main event level talent that has helped add plenty of depth to every division.
Looking at the current free agent market and WWE ID signees, there are some interesting names that could further fill spots on NXT TV immediately.
Here are seven potential new WWE NXT signings.
7. Kylie Rae
The most experienced veteran who was recently part of the WWE ID signings was Kylie Rae.
With nearly a decade in the pro wrestling business, Rae has worked for multiple top promotions, such as AEW and TNA Wrestling.
Kylie is currently involved in one of the main programs over on WWE Evolve, feuding with Wendy Choo in the women’s division.
This should eventually lead to Rae joining the WWE NXT women’s division and becoming the brand’s new plucky female babyface.

6. Jack Cartwheel
Looking at other underdog babyfaces over on WWE Evolve, Jack Cartwheel is another option that would fit in well skill-wise over on NXT.
One of the initial WWE ID signees, Cartwheel had earned a name for himself on the independent wrestling scene for his unique high flying, cartwheel based style.
With his thrilling arsenal of moves, Cartwheel has been exciting fans anywhere he goes for the last six years.
Whenever the time comes for him to move up to the WWE NXT brand, Cartwheel should become a popular babyface on main WWE programming pretty quickly.

5. Mariah May
After culminating her superb program with Timeless Toni Storm with The Hollywood Ending at AEW Revolution 2025, Mariah May was revealed to be in her contract year with All Elite Wrestling.
Following a highly successful two year run with AEW, there is no denying that May is a bonafide superstar that has everything it takes to excel under the WWE umbrella.
At 26 years old, Mariah’s best years might be ahead of her, which makes her a perfect signing for WWE to bring in right now to bolster the NXT women’s division.
With the likes of Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia and Roxanne Perez all looking like they are heading to the main roster, WWE NXT might be the right place for Mariah to first make a name for herself in the company before going on to bigger and better things.

4. Marcus Mathers
Another young upstart who should become a favorite to the fans and the company alike is Marcus Mathers.
Yet another WWE ID signing, the 22 year old star has been stealing the show and impressing fans all over the world for the past five years.
Using the WWE ID tag to his advantage, Mathers has only further got himself out there and been wrestling for several top independent promotions as of late.
While he has not made his WWE Evolve debut, Mathers feels like the kind of talent who could potentially immediately find a spot over on NXT when the company wants him to come into the fold.

Since May 2024, fans have been clamouring for when Joe Hendry will eventually and potentially inevitably make the jump over to WWE.
The current TNA World Champion has had a meteoric rise through the ranks and has become one of the most popular babyfaces in the entire business today.
With boatloads of charisma and his signature catchy theme song, Hendry has the skills that should allow him to become a success over in WWE.
While he still has some time left in TNA Wrestling, making the transition to WWE NXT feels seamless after the groundwork has been laid with his appearances over the past year.

There might not be another talent who has seemed poised for a spot on WWE NXT following his WWE ID signing quite like Sean Legacy.
Immediately becoming a top star over on WWE Evolve, Legacy has shown his exceptional in-ring ability that would make him not seem out of place over on NXT.
Having already impressed in the recent 25-Man Battle Royal on the May 6 edition of WWE NXT, Legacy is proving why he was one of the more talked about ID signees.
“Super” Sean Legacy has everything it takes to make an impact on WWE NXT and could potentially be a top male talent when he makes that move.
