Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan both made their WWE main roster TV debuts on Raw, competing in a Money in the Bank qualifier also featuring Raquel Rodriguez.
Following the likes of Tatum Paxley, Lucien Price and Bronco Nima previously joining SmackDown and Raw in recent weeks, there are a number of other NXT competitors we could soon see follow suit.
From former champions to recent signees, there are rumors swirling surrounding all of these stars potentially receiving call-ups.
Here are four stars who could soon debut on the WWE main roster.
Tony D’Angelo
Tony D’Angelo lost his NXT Championship at Heatwave, with Grayson Waller winning the gold in a four-way bout also featuring Cruz Montana and Zilla Fatu.
With D’Angelo pinned in the #1 contender’s match on the September 15 NXT episode, it does appear that D’Angelo is on his way out of the developmental brand.
The former champion established himself as a reliable contender over the past four years in NXT, becoming the first ever NXT Grand Slam Champion, and becoming one of just a few individuals to pin Oba Femi.
There are plenty of avenues moving forward for Tony D’Angelo on the main roster, on either Raw or SmackDown.
Kendal Grey
The NXT Women’s Championship also changed hands at Heatwave, with Kelani Jordan defeating Kendal Grey to walk out of Edinburg, Texas with the title.
Following Kelani Jordan’s recent Raw appearance, it would make sense to see Grey also appear on main roster programming, ahead of potentially joining Raw and SmackDown.
There had previously been a call for Grey to join the main roster, with the former collegiate amateur wrestler stating in December 2025 that she felt she had a lot to learn in NXT, and that she’s expecting things to happen when they’re supposed to in her career.
With Grey now having reigns with the NXT Women’s and Evolve Women’s titles under her belt, now seems like the perfect time for her to graduate to the main roster.
Zilla Fatu
Zilla Fatu is one of WWE’s most recent signings, with the Bloodline family member making his debut on the August 11 edition of NXT.
Despite only having only wrestled twice for NXT so far, there has been a lot of speculation about Zilla Fatu potentially showing up on Monday Night Raw.
With Royce Keys, Lucien Price and Bronco Nima of 946 targeting the Bloodline faction, and Roman Reigns fending off LA Knight, Solo Sikoa and other World Heavyweight Championship contenders, Zilla Fatu could be the enforcer the Bloodline needs.
Zilla Fatu is a real-life cousin to a number of top WWE stars, including Roman Reigns, The Usos and Solo Sikoa. For details on every WWE star Fatu is related to, click here.
Myles Borne
Myles Borne is at a very interesting point in his WWE career, after losing both the NXT North American Championship and NXT Tag Team Title at Heatwave.
With Borne attacking Tavion Heights after their tag title loss, lightning struck once more on the September 15 NXT episode, with Borne betraying his former teammate again.
While Borne and Heights look set to clash on NXT, we could see the former double-champion bring this new character to the main roster once that feud wraps up.
