This Saturday’s WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 is set to occur ahead of WrestleMania 42 weekend for the very first time.
With the show capping off many of the brand’s biggest storylines, we could potentially see some of NXT’s more tenured stars depart once the dust settles on Stand & Deliver.
Here are seven WWE stars that could leave NXT after Stand & Deliver 2026.
7. Ethan Page
One NXT standout that seems highly likely to be called up to the main roster in the near future is Ethan Page.
Since joining WWE in May 2024, Page has won the two biggest prizes on NXT and is more than ready for a spot on the main roster.
Having anchored NXT since the big departures of Oba Femi and Je’Von Evans, Page is definitely poised to enter a number of big storylines on the main roster.
Able to pick back up with NXT and AAA rivals alike, Ethan Page is undoubtedly set to play a major role in the future of WWE Raw or SmackDown.
6. Sol Ruca
Another NXT star that seems on the verge of seeing her own launch on the main roster after Stand & Deliver is Sol Ruca.
After teaming with ZARIA since December 2024, the duo have finally dissolved with a heated feud going into this year’s Stand & Deliver.
With each vowing to wage war on the other, it would make complete sense to see Sol Ruca say farewell to NXT after her showdown with her former friend turned enemy.
If ZARIA were to end their feud on a vicious note, Ruca could disappear for a few short weeks before making her official arrival on the main roster after WrestleMania 42.
5. Blake Monroe
Having made an indelible mark on NXT during her time so far in the company, Blake Monroe seems like another possible candidate to move on to the main roster.
In the middle of a spicy feud with Tatum Paxley, it would seem that their rivalry could be wrapped up by the end of Stand & Deliver.
Able to join the main roster after WrestleMania 42, Monroe could end up making a major moment at the event if she were to form a surprising alliance.
Monroe would easily be able to link up with Becky Lynch to cost AJ Lee the Women’s Intercontinental Championship or even join Judgment Day in order to help Liv Morgan secure a victory over Stephanie Vaquer. Whatever the case, Blake Monroe has dastardly options.

4. Ricky Saints
Similarly to his tag team partner Ethan Page, Ricky Saints has captured both of NXT’s major men’s titles, leaving many fans to expect an impending move to Raw or SmackDown.
While Page is more than ready to leave NXT behind, Saints could potentially stick around in some capacity and spread his time across many different shows.
This could introduce the main roster audience to Saints’ talents, while also allowing him to grow his résumé with in WWE.
Spending time in feuds through AAA or a spell in TNA Wrestling, Saints could continue to gather fans, attention and acclaim before making his big debut on the main roster.
3. Fatal Influence
Another potential departure from NXT after Stand & Deliver 2026 could be Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid).
After Wren Sinclair captured victory over Fallon Henley to win the WWE Speed Championship, there is only one title holder left in Fatal Influence: Jacy Jayne.
It remains to be seen if she will face Lola Vice or Kendal Grey at Stand & Deliver, with it seeming likely that a three-way could be on the cards. Regardless, it feels like Jayne’s run at the top of NXT could be coming to an end.
Definitely able to have Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne and Lainey Reed transition to the main roster as a three-woman group, it could be that the entire group departs NXT after the big PLE.

2. Joe Hendry
Set to face off in a fatal four-way at Stand & Deliver, Joe Hendry will defend the NXT Championship against Ricky Saints, Ethan Page and Tony D’Angelo.
Potentially leading to Tony D’Angelo picking up his first NXT Championship, it seems likely that Tony D could be poised to lead the brand into the next year of storylines.
Possibly paving the way for the call-up of everyone else in the match, Tony D’Angelo would have a solid set of future foes in the likes of Myles Borne, Dion Lennox or Shiloh Hill.
Hendry on the other hand is a main roster superstar in waiting, and WWE will likely be keen to showcase him on a bigger stage after WrestleMania 42.
1. Kelani Jordan
After making impressive crossover appearances in TNA Wrestling including holding the TNA Knockouts Championship, Kelani Jordan could be ready to depart NXT.
Given her recent uptick in intensity since turning heel, Jordan wowed fans in her recent NXT Underground match against legitimate MMA fighter Lola Vice at WWE NXT Vengeance Day 2026.
Despite not winning the Underground match, Jordan has continued to earn respect through her grit and talent, making for a solid main roster call-up regardless of her future character.
Potentially someone who would work better with a babyface reinvention on the main roster (or at least end up planting the seeds for a babyface turn in the future), there seems to be a long career ahead of Kelani Jordan.
