Then on the April 22 edition of WWE NXT, Hendry made his way back to the brand and staked his claim to get a shot at Oba Femi for the NXT Championship and got rid of Trick Williams from the ring.

To respond to this interaction, Williams showed up at TNA Rebellion to lay out Hendry following his main event win.

Hendry should be a surefire signing for WWE NXT that the company knows already has a connection with the fans in a major way.

5. Zayda Steel

Over on WWE Evolve, one of the major storylines has centered on the group known as The Vanity Project.

Despite consisting of Swipe Right and Bryce Donovan, the main talker in the stable has been Zayda Steel.

The 21 year old star has shown everything needed to stand out as a total package with her in-ring and talking ability on full display.

It shouldn’t take too long before Steel makes her way to the WWE NXT brand to become part of the exceptional women’s division on the show.

When it comes to in-ring skills and experience, there might not be another star who has shined quite like Sean Legacy on WWE Evolve.

Compiling a winning streak on Evolve, Legacy has received a significant push that has put him at the front of the pack among the talent on the brand.

With almost 10 years of experience, the 29 year old has shown a ton of poise over the first few months on WWE Evolve and has displayed why he was among the first WWE ID signings.

Becoming the next signing on NXT, Legacy has proven to be more than capable inside the squared circle and could potentially excel on the main show.

3. Kylie Rae

No other WWE ID signing had more experience coming into this program than Kylie Rae.

Since debuting on WWE Evolve, Rae has found herself coming up short against the likes of Zara Zakher and Wendy Choo.

However, Rae has the veteran experience that should be showcased on one of the main brands like WWE NXT.

Battling the likes of Jordynne Grace, Jaida Parker and Giulia, Kylie could thrust herself into the spotlight and be among the best talents on the NXT women’s division in no time.

2. Jeff Cobb

To the surprise of many New Japan fans, the company announced the abrupt departure of Jeff Cobb mere days after winning the IWGP Tag Team Championship.

The former Olympian has unreal strength and agility not regularly seen from a man of his size and stature.

At 42 years old, many fans might believe Cobb needs to go directly onto the main roster, but it might benefit him long-term by debuting on WWE NXT.

Becoming one of the top male stars on the brand, Cobb would not look out of place at all against the likes of Oba Femi, Trick Williams or Je’Von Evans.

1. Mariah May

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Mariah May was in the midst of a contract year with her deal expiring later this year.

“The Glamour” has proven to be one of the top female stars in All Elite Wrestling over the course of the past two years.

With recent reports indicating her intention to sign with WWE, it should be a no-brainer for Mariah to make her way to the promotion, starting on the NXT brand.

Mariah could add even more experience and star power to the women’s division and would make a perfect opponent for NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer on day one.
