Who’s Next? The NXT Superstars Ready for WWE Main Roster Call-Ups

For decades, NXT has served as WWE’s proving ground — the place where raw talent becomes polished and future legends are made. Stars like Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Aleister Black once walked the yellow-and-black path before cementing themselves as main-event players. Now, a fresh wave of NXT standouts are ready for that same leap onto Raw and SmackDown.

Trick Williams: The Obvious Choice

If there’s one name that screams “main roster ready,” it’s Trick Williams. The former Trick-NA World Heavyweight Champion has been one of NXT’s most electric performers, both in the ring and on the mic. His charisma, athleticism, and connection with the crowd make him a natural fit for Raw or SmackDown. His current storyline with Je’Von Evans has showcased his ability to elevate newer talent — but many fans feel it’s time for Trick to test himself against established stars.

Oba Femi, Sol Ruca & Ethan Page: The Next Wave

Oba Femi is another powerhouse who looks primed to break through. His size and presence give him a main roster feel already, and with the right push, he could be a dangerous addition to either brand.

 Meanwhile, Sol Ruca continues to impress with her innovative offense and unique style, making her one of the most intriguing prospects in WWE today. Pair her with main roster talent, and fans could see a breakout star in the making.
Ethan Page, a relatively new arrival to NXT, has already shown veteran polish. His confidence and versatility could translate seamlessly into high-profile rivalries on Raw or SmackDown.

Why WWE Needs Fresh Blood

The main roster has been dominated by familiar feuds — Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk continue to headline, but even the most epic rivalries can begin to feel repetitive. Injecting new energy from NXT would add unpredictability and excitement to weekly programming. Fans want surprises, and nothing pops an audience quite like a debuting star shaking up the status quo.

Think back to Rhea Ripley’s sudden rise. A fresh face in the right moment can transform the landscape of WWE overnight. That’s the kind of opportunity waiting for today’s NXT roster.

When Should the Call-Ups Happen?

Timing is everything, and the most logical moment for a new wave of debuts would be right after Clash in Paris. Post-PLE is the perfect reset button, giving Triple H and creative a chance to weave NXT talent into new storylines. Cross-brand appearances — such as main roster champions visiting NXT or NXT titles defended on Raw — would only heighten fan interest and blur the lines in exciting ways.

The WWE main roster is stacked, but even the deepest pool of talent can run dry without fresh stories. Trick Williams, Oba Femi, Sol Ruca, and Ethan Page all have the tools to make an immediate impact. If WWE wants to keep its weekly programming unpredictable and must-watch, it’s time to let these NXT standouts shine on the biggest stage.
