There have been several new stars who have made their way to WWE NXT throughout the year of 2025.
From Blake Monroe to Ricky Saints, these stars have become champions and top stars in short order on the NXT brand and are regularly featured every Tuesday night on The CW.
Looking at all the talent still training in the WWE Performance Center and working in partnered promotions, there could be any number of stars who could debut before the end of 2025 or at the start of the new year.
Here are eight WWE NXT debuts potentially coming soon.
8. Keanu Carver
With a unique combination of size and strength, Keanu Carver has been an absolute standout on the WWE Evolve revival brand that started in 2025.
One of the spotlighted talents throughout these early months of the brand, Carver has displayed his intensity and physically dominated any opponent he has stepped in the ring with.
Carver simply checks the boxes when it comes to what WWE might be looking for in a potential NXT star.
Taking that next step in his career, fans could see Carver make his way to WWE NXT to make an immediate impact in the weeks and months to come.

7. Harlem Lewis
Another star who first got noticed on WWE Evolve in the early days of the brand is Harlem Lewis.
Opposite Keanu Carver, Lewis was able to bring aggression unlike any other talent coming out of the WWE Performance Center.
Following his short time on Evolve, Lewis made his way to WWE LFG season two where he once again stood out and made it all the way to the finals against Shiloh Hill before coming up just short.
Now coming off the heels of a short stint with Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, Harlem Lewis could be ready for the next stage of his career and make his debut on WWE NXT.

6. Anthony Luke
Someone that Harlem Lewis knows very well from his time on WWE LFG is Anthony Luke.
One of the breakout stars of LFG during the show’s two seasons, Luke has a look and charisma that has drawn comparisons to The Rock.
To go along with those aesthetics, Anthony Luke brings a confidence and poise that feels like someone who is a multi-year pro inside the squared circle.
With his connections to the WWE main roster due to his relationship with current WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri, Luke is someone to keep your eyes on when he makes his inevitable NXT debut.

5. Angel Warriors (Lei Ying Lee & Xia Brookside)
On the November 25 Gold Rush Night 2 special of WWE NXT, Lei Ying Lee defeated Kelani Jordan and Jordynne Grace to win the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
This marked Lee’s return to in-ring action on the NXT brand following her stint in WWE as Xia Li.
Meanwhile, Lee has formed a partnership with Xia Brookside in TNA Wrestling known as The Angel Warriors that has found some success.
Bringing that tag team to WWE NXT, Lee and Brookside could be a threat for the Women’s Tag Team Championship and would enjoy some further exposure for TNA by highlighting this impressive duo.

4. PJ Vasa
In another case of a WWE LFG standout yet to make their NXT debut, PJ Vasa is someone who caught a lot of fans’ attention during her time on the A&E show.
Vasa, who previously appeared using her real name Penina Tuilaepa, brought a different swagger than her peers on WWE LFG during both seasons of the show and made it to the finals of the second season.
After coming up short, Vasa has since debuted on WWE Evolve where she looks to be a future challenger for Kendal Grey’s Evolve Women’s Championship.
However, fans shouldn’t have to wait too long before seeing Vasa wreck havoc and bringing her unbridled rage to the WWE NXT women’s division.

3. Shiloh Hill
On the WWE LFG season two finale, Shiloh Hill was chosen over Harlem Lewis to win an NXT contract for the men’s side of the competition.
Since then, fans have been introduced to Hill during a series of vignettes where he discusses his background, his likes and dislikes, as well as his unique mindset and love for the dark web.
Looking to hone in on his strength highlighted by his LFG coach The Undertaker during his two seasons on the show, Hill has already displayed a distinct ability to flip a switch and go to some dark places that should make his eventual debut very interesting.
From what was seen from him on LFG, there is untapped potential that fans will discover when Hill locks in and steps inside the squared circle on WWE NXT soon.

2. Jaime Garcia (Zozaya)
In March 2025, WWE held a tryout in the United Kingdom that featured several top stars from the country’s independent scene.
Among those invited to this event was Zozaya, who is a Spanish professional wrestler who made a name for himself on the UK indies in places like RevPro and PROGRESS Wrestling.
In October, Zozaya signed with WWE officially and reported to the Performance Center soon thereafter.
The young star, real name Jaime Garcia, is getting ready to bring his high flying and strong style hybrid abilities to WWE NXT where he should deliver some exciting matches with the likes of Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater.

1. El Hijo del Vikingo
On the November 22 edition of AAA Alianzas, El Hijo del Vikingo finally turned heel when he betrayed his tag team partner Dragon Lee in their tag team match against Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano.
Showing his true colors, Vikingo embraced the loud boos he has been receiving from the Mexican fans over the past few months since Lucha Libre AAA was acquired by WWE.
Seen as WWE’s chosen face of the promotion, Vikingo felt the vitriol from the fans everywhere he went despite being a well established babyface for the majority of his time in AAA.
Bringing this new side of his personality out, WWE might want to spotlight this in a major way by having the two-time AAA Mega Champion make his NXT debut and battle the brand’s top stars, such as Oba Femi, Ricky Saints and Trick Williams.
