Now that WWE Clash In Italy 2026 is in the books, the company looks towards the Night of Champions premium live event on Saturday, June 27.

As the promotion heads to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, there could be some stars making their debut or coming to the main roster.

From longtime NXT talents to stars from other companies arriving, these debuts could dramatically alter the landscape of WWE.

Here are seven potential debuts at WWE Night of Champions 2026.

7. Nikkita Lyons

Making her WWE debut in 2021, Nikkita Lyons has been someone who has caught the eyes of the fanbase.

Lyons has always shown an undeniable charisma and has a mixed martial arts style inside the squared circle with the size to bring something new to the table.

While she has gone through some injuries, Lyons feels like she has garnered momentum with her work on NXT, Evolve and LFG.

After recent reports and rumors indicating her main roster callup, Lyons could finally make her move to the WWE main roster at the Night of Champions 2026 PLE.

6. Jaida Parker

Another longtime NXT star who could make the move to the WWE main roster is Jaida Parker.

Arriving in WWE NXT back in 2023, Parker immediately got attention due to her no nonsense attitude and hard hitting style.

In another case of a talent who has suffered some setbacks through injuries, Parker has returned and looked to regain her momentum again.

Considering she is currently feuding with a main roster star in Nattie on NXT, WWE Night of Champions 2026 might be the right time to introduce Ms. Parker to the next stage of her career.

5. Hiromu Takahashi

In February 2026, New Japan Pro Wrestling announced the departure of Hiromu Takahashi.

Throughout a 15 year run with the promotion, Takahashi became one of the most decorated junior heavyweights in New Japan history.

Over the course of his run with NJPW, Hiromu was a record breaking four-time Best of Super Juniors winner and a five-time IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion.

Considering everything he’s accomplished, Takahashi could be someone who forgoes NXT and heads directly to the main roster with a debut at WWE Night of Champions 2026.

4. Zaria

Since making her WWE debut in 2024, Zaria has been a standout on the NXT brand.

The Australian star has been one of the most prominent stars in the WWE NXT women’s division.

With her former tag team partner and friend Sol Ruca getting called up to the main roster, it could be time for Zaria to follow in her footsteps.

Zaria has the size, strength, look and presentation to be a main roster ready act that could see her arrive at WWE Night of Champions 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

3. Lola Vice

In a lot of ways, Lola Vice has been ready for the next stage of her career for quite some time.

After debuting in 2022, Vice has made a seamless transition from the world of MMA to pro wrestling in WWE.

At WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2026, Vice defeated Jacy Jayne and Kendal Grey to win the NXT Women’s Championship.

With everything she has accomplished during her time on NXT, Vice feels more than prepared to make the jump to the main roster and could make her presence felt at the WWE Night of Champions 2026 premium live event.

2. Tony D’Angelo

Another major champion on the WWE NXT brand who could make the move to the main roster stage is Tony D’Angelo.

Having been part of the NXT roster for the past five years, D’Angelo has pretty much accomplished everything he possibly can.

Becoming the first ever NXT Grand Slam Champion, Tony D has left his mark on the brand and could do the same thing on the main roster level.

Tony D debuting at WWE Night of Champions 2026 could be interesting to see how he can leave a similar mark on Raw and SmackDown like he has on NXT.

1. Kendal Grey

There has been no one who has turned heads and made a bigger impression since arriving on WWE NXT quite like Kendal Grey.

Since signing with WWE in 2023, Grey has showcased her amateur wrestling background and become a quality in-ring performer.

While it seems like she is climbing the ladder on NXT, WWE might find Kendal’s skills too good to be denied a spot on the main roster.

Whether it be in the Queen of the Ring or challenging a champion on Raw and SmackDown, Grey debuting at WWE Night of Champions 2026 would be an impactful way for the former Evolve Women’s Champion to make a statement right from the start.
