Over the past few weeks, several top stars from WWE NXT have made their debut on the main roster.
Whether it be Je’Von Evans on Monday Night Raw or Trick Williams on Friday Night SmackDown, NXT has seen several significant names make their way to the main roster in force.
Meanwhile, the likes of Keanu Carver, Eli Knight and The Vanity Project have officially signed with NXT to fill in for those talents moving up.
Here are six potential WWE NXT roster changes coming soon.
6. Elio LeFleur’s Debut
In recent weeks, fans have seen some vignettes building to the debut of Lucha Libre AAA’s Elio LeFleur on WWE NXT.
Coming over from France, the luchador has impressed fans in Mexico since making his debut in AAA.
Now on the January 20 edition of WWE NXT, LeFleur will make his in-ring debut and will challenge Ethan Page for the NXT North American Championship.
This debut will showcase his extraordinary high flying ability, with LeFleur potentially launching himself to be a major star on the brand in his very first bout.

5. More Lucha Libre AAA Stars Marking Their Arrival
Over the past year, fans have seen AAA stars being featured on WWE NXT in some notable occasions.
From Mr. Iguana and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. to Elio LeFleur’s upcoming debut, AAA has had a consistent presence on NXT.
Considering Lucha Libre AAA recently debuted on FOX Latin America, WWE might want to feature even more talent on the roster on NXT in the near future.
More AAA stars like La Parka and Lady Flammer could be next to get their shot on NXT in the weeks and months to come as the brand tries to reestablish themselves with a new crop of talent.

4. El Hijo del Vikingo & Omos Bring El Ojo To NXT
One notable act on Lucha Libre AAA that has not yet appeared on WWE NXT is El Ojo.
Led by AAA director general Dorian Roldan, El Hijo del Vikingo and Omos have formed a partnership that has paid dividends for both men.
Most recently, Vikingo became the number one contender for the AAA Mega Championship after receiving help from Omos to defeat El Grande Americano on the January 17 FOX Latin America premiere of AAA Worldwide.
Bringing El Ojo to NXT will further establish this heel faction as a threat in not only AAA, but around the world wherever fans see them next.

3. Leon Slater Becomes A Permanent Part Of The NXT Roster
Over the past few months, fans have been seeing more and more of TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater on WWE programming.
Whether it be his challenging Oba Femi for the NXT Championship or even on the main roster, Slater has made a good impression in every appearance he has made on WWE TV.
On the January 16 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Carmelo Hayes defeated Slater to retain the United States Championship.
After his strong performance on the blue brand, it feels like it will only be a matter of time before WWE makes Slater a permanent part of the NXT roster moving forward.

1. Kali Armstrong Arrives
One other star from WWE Evolve who should be able to secure a main event level spot on NXT is Kali Armstrong.
The first ever WWE Evolve Women’s Champion has garnered a ton of success and attention for what she has been able to do on the revival brand since its premiere on Tubi back in March 2025.
It was reported that WWE saw huge things in Armstrong’s future and viewed her as a future “WrestleMania headliner.”
With all of her accomplishments on Evolve, it might be the right time for Armstrong to head to the next level and sign with NXT full-time.
