With plenty of arrivals and departures throughout WWE, 2026 has been a year of change for the Raw, SmackDown and NXT rosters.
Raw in particular is looking far different now than it did this time last year. Roman Reigns is leading the charge on the red brand, names like Royce Keys and Jacob Fatu have jumped from SmackDown to Raw, and others like CM Punk and GUNTHER have went the other way.
Despite being one of, if not the biggest success story on Monday nights in 2026: Oba Femi, was, until recently not considered a member of the Raw roster.
Along with names such as The Bella Twins, AJ Lee, Omos and Danhausen, Oba Femi had been listed as a “free agent” in WWE since leaving NXT in January, despite spending almost the entire year appearing exclusively on the red brand.
That has now changed however, as according to WWE’s roster page Oba Femi is now officially considered a member of the Monday Night Raw roster.
With Femi now a Raw talent, it’s time to look at three names who could be set to join him in the near future:
Solo Sikoa
While Jacob Fatu and Royce Keys officially swapped blue for red earlier this year, Solo Sikoa is still listed as a SmackDown superstar on WWE’s roster page at the time of writing.
Sikoa has not appeared on SmackDown since the June 26 episode, and now is exclusively seen on Monday nights as he continues to feud with The Bloodline and Royce Keys’ 946 faction.
With others such as Keys and Fatu being added to the Raw roster eventually given enough time, it feels likely that Solo will soon follow suit given how enveloped he is in the top storyline on Monday nights.
Tony D’Angelo
The Monday, September 14 episode of Raw gave main roster fans their first look at former NXT Women’s Champion Lola Vice. And what a first night on Raw it was for Vice, as she defeated Kelani Jordan and Raquel Rodriguez to qualify for the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
Vice received the call to join Raw after dropping the NXT Women’s Title, and losing in her follow up opportunity to regain the belt from Kendal Grey. Tony D’Angelo is someone who is now in a situation similar to that, after losing the NXT Championship to Grayson Waller at Heatwave, he failed to become the new number one contender on last Tuesday’s NXT (September 15).
With five years in NXT under his belt and nothing really left to accomplish on the brand, we could see Tony D arrive on Raw in the near future.
Omos
Our final potential addition to WWE Raw is Omos.
Omos is someone WWE also considers a free agent, but to fans and anyone watching WWE, Omos is a part of the AAA roster, having been a fixture of the weekly product in Mexico throughout 2026.
Now aligned with Dominik Mysterio in AAA, there could potentially be opportunities for ‘The Nigerian Giant’ to make some appearances on Raw, and potentially even join the Raw roster on a full-time basis as the latest member of The Judgment Day.
