While WWE NXT has functioned as a developmental brand featuring the future stars developed at the Performance Center, there are various legends who work on the brand.
Whether it be on camera like Booker T at the commentary desk or behind the scenes like Shawn Michaels as head of creative, the brand has been directly influenced by the legendary stars of the business.
Looking to the various WWE Hall of Famers working with the brand or those who can contribute in the future, there are plenty of longtime stars who can become part of NXT in the weeks and months to come.
Here are six potential WWE legends to join NXT.
6. The Undertaker
After retiring from in-ring competition in 2020, it has looked like The Undertaker would only be doing a podcast and some different shows for WWE.
Following his stint as a coach on WWE LFG, Taker has taken more of a creative role in NXT, the main roster and even AAA according to reports.
The WWE Hall of Famer has five decades worth of knowledge and experience that can be beneficial to the future stars of the industry and should be utilized to help further develop talent in NXT.
Taker coming in to join WWE NXT could bring new eyes to the product and more importantly greatly assist in the improvement of the roster moving forward.

5. Michelle McCool
Over the past few years, WWE fans have seen Michelle McCool step back inside the squared circle during the Women’s Royal Rumble matches.
On the second season of WWE LFG: Legends and Future Greats, McCool has stepped in to join her husband The Undertaker, Booker T and Bubba Ray Dudley as a fellow coach to the PC recruits.
Becoming a mother hen to the talent on the show, McCool has taken a personal investment into their futures and could do the same with the stars on the NXT brand.
If McCool were brought in to be a coach or even a manager to one of her LFG Future Greats, she could help the entire WWE NXT roster with her knowledge and experience.

Since announcing her departure from All Elite Wrestling in March, Saraya has been staying lowkey for the most part in regards to the wrestling world.
Making it no secret that she is willing to make a return to WWE, fans have been speculating when Saraya will become Paige once again in the biggest pro wrestling promotion in the world today.
Playing various roles for WWE during her last stint with the company, Paige has a multitude of options she can come into upon her return.
Whether it be as an in-ring competitor or as an authority figure, Paige joining WWE NXT could completely change the landscape of the entire brand in a considerable way.

3. Mickie James
Another former multi-time WWE Women’s Champion who could really enhance the talent on NXT is Mickie James.
Back on the first season of WWE LFG, James really shined as a coach and gave some needed guidance to not only her team, but other talent on the show.
While she has been replaced by Michelle McCool on season two of LFG, the six-time WWE Women’s Champion could make a return to in-ring competition in NXT.
Joining the NXT brand, Mickie can provide a major boost in star power and veteran experience that could help the likes of Fatal Influence, Jaida Parker and Kelani Jordan.

Nikki has helped with some new stories being explored with her since making her comeback to the company and could do even more with the new crop of talent in WWE NXT.
Trying to help the future of the industry, Nikki Bella could make her way over to NXT where she can mix it up with up-and-coming talent like Lola Vice and Lash Legend.

1. Gail Kim
Earlier this year, Gail Kim was let go from TNA Wrestling after serving in various creative and backstage roles for the promotion.
The seven-time TNA Knockouts World Champion has been one of the most influential figures in the company for multiple years and felt like a significant loss.
Per recent reports, Kim has been spotted backstage during WWE NXT TV tapings with some interest being expressed to bring her in full time.
Gail Kim could further move up the ladder behind-the-scenes for WWE NXT if she joined the brand in a backstage capacity or even in an on-screen role.
