WWE WrestleMania 41 is already poised to create some big moments, but after the event there are plenty of NXT stars who could be called up.
While some call-ups should be saved for the actual 2025 WWE Draft which usually takes place in May, others would easily be able to occur right after this year’s WrestleMania, perhaps even on the post-Mania episode of Raw.
Here are seven WWE NXT stars that could be called up to the main roster after WrestleMania 41.
7. Trick Williams
Fans of NXT have noticed that despite the crowd adoring him, Trick Williams has decidedly begun to lean into his dark side.
Seemingly fed up with the disrespect he experiences in NXT since losing the NXT Championship, Williams is about to wrap up his feud with Eddy Thorpe, and there may not be much more left for him to do on the brand after that.
If Williams needed a creative reason for a call-up to the main roster, he’d have a ready-made story with former friend turned rival Carmelo Hayes.
He could easily either feud with Hayes or potentially even reunite with him as his first act on the WWE main roster.

6. Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson
While Noam Dar and Oro Mensah could potentially stay behind in NXT, the female half of the Meta-Four has already had outings on the WWE main roster.
Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson have made multiple main roster appearances, including competing for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship at a premium live event.
Legend even made it in the 2025 Royal Rumble, one of only six women from NXT to do so.
With additional women’s tag teams still needed to create an actually competitive WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship division, the Meta-Girls would be the perfect call-up.

5. Jaida Parker
Another star who has impressed in NXT and was involved in the 2025 women’s Royal Rumble, Jaida Parker would be an excellent main roster call-up.
Having demonstrated her athleticism and charisma over the past year, she has blossomed into a performer fans could easily see on the main roster sooner rather than later.
With her dynamic personality and in-ring abilities, Parker would be a great addition to either Raw or SmackDown, both of which carry newly introduced women’s midcard titles.
While she has yet to capture gold in NXT, perhaps Parker’s first title in WWE will arrive on the main roster instead.

4. Oba Femi
Current NXT Champion Oba Femi continues to demonstrate that he is a WWE star of the future.
He recently successfully defended the NXT Championship against the TNA Wrestling X-Division Champion Moose at NXT Roadblock.
However, perhaps Femi is not long for NXT as he could absolutely be called up to main roster after WrestleMania 41.
Oba Femi may be poised to enter into a feud for Stand & Deliver with a successor to the title and then get called up.

3. Kelani Jordan
With Kelani Jordan taking a character turn as of late, could she be putting the final touches on a main roster presentation?
Jordan has recently leaned into her heelish ways and could be a beneficial ally to any heels on the main roster.
Adding some additional competitiveness to the main roster midcard women’s feuds could be necessary to keep the newly minted women’s Intercontinental and United States Titles interesting and fresh.
There’s even the option for her to form an on-screen alliance with her real-life partner Carmelo Hayes as well.

2. Ethan Page
Another former NXT Champion who is ready to be called-up after WrestleMania 41 is ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page.
While he has already won the NXT Championship and could conceivably chase the title again, it certainly seems like Ethan Page is main roster ready.
After having an extensive career in professional wrestling in advance of signing with WWE, there is no reason to believe he won’t make it to the main roster.
Page just wrapped up a feud with Je’Von Evans, and there’s a case to be made that there’s not much for Page left to accomplish in NXT, despite only being on the brand for less than a year.

1. Ricky Saints
One of the most hotly anticipated free agent debuts in NXT may not end up being at the Performance Center for too long.
Ricky Saints joined NXT just ahead of Stand & Deliver season but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be called up to the main roster after WrestleMania 41.
With his real-life friendship with Cody Rhodes already acknowledged on TV, he could end up being an ally to Rhodes, potentially even betraying him in the future.
Some fans were surprised Saints even started in NXT instead of the main roster, so it would be a surprise at all to see him fast-tracked to a call-up.
