Over the past several months, there have been several NXT call-ups to both Raw and SmackDown.
From Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans and Oba Femi to Fatal Influence, Sol Ruca and Lola Vice, these names have brought a huge boost to the main roster.
Looking at the current NXT roster, there are quite a few names that could follow in these stars’ footsteps moving up to Friday Night SmackDown.
Here are four WWE NXT stars to potentially jump to Friday Night SmackDown.
Kelani Jordan
On the September 14 edition of Monday Night Raw, Lola Vice defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan to qualify for the Women’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match.
This proved to be the WWE main roster debut for Jordan and showcased what she was capable of.
At WWE NXT Heatwave 2026, Jordan defeated Kendal Grey to win the NXT Women’s Championship.
Whenever this reign ends, fans could see Kelani Jordan make the jump to SmackDown and join her fiance Carmelo Hayes on Friday nights.
Myles Borne
Myles Borne has had a career year in 2026 with some of the biggest wins of his career.
In August, Borne became a double champion, holding both the NXT North American and Tag Team Championships.
Then more recently, Borne has turned heel on his longtime friend and tag team partner Tavion Heights.
Showing that he can play any role, Borne is only strengthen his chance to get his main roster call-up and join the SmackDown roster.
Izzi Dame
Another WWE NXT star who has already had a huge year in 2026 is Izzi Dame.
In January, Dame defeated Thea Hail to win the NXT Women’s North American Championship.
While this reign was short-lived, Dame has continued to be on the hunt for the title and wanting even more gold.
With her size, charisma and in-ring ability, Izzi Dame could be ready to make the jump to Friday Night SmackDown and could potentially become a new member of Fatal Influence.
Tony D’Angelo
One of the longest tenure members of the WWE NXT roster is Tony D’Angelo.
Making history on the brand, D’Angelo is the only star to hold every men’s title on the brand, including his most recent reign as NXT Champion.
As a NXT Grand Slam Champion, Tony D has proven that he can be the face of this brand.
Tony D’Angelo finally getting called up to the WWE main roster could be happening sooner rather than later, making him an excellent addition to the SmackDown brand in the coming weeks or months.
