7 WWE Stars To Join NXT Birthright Faction

WWE

In 2026, Lexis King united himself with other second and third generation talent on the WWE NXT brand to form Birthright.

Alongside Charlie Dempsey, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, Arianna Grace and Uriah Connors, King’s group has cemented themselves as one of the most featured factions on WWE NXT.

Looking at the current WWE roster and incoming talent, there are plenty of options for King to recruit into his ever-growing stable.

Here are seven WWE stars to potentially join NXT Birthright faction.

7. Aaliyah Mysterio

In 2020, Dominik Mysterio made his official WWE in-ring debut at the SummerSlam event.

Since then, “Dirty Dom” has become one of WWE’s breakout young stars on the roster.

Now, it seems that the offspring of Rey Mysterio will once again produce a future talent for the company with his daughter Aaliyah Mysterio recently starting up at the WWE Performance Center.

Getting her start in WWE, Aaliyah might need to be surrounded by other second generation stars like those in Birthright.

6. Brooks Jensen

Over the past five years, Brooks Jensen has been trying to make his mark on NXT.

While he initially did that with his tag team partner Josh Briggs, Jensen now finds himself on the outside looking in on the current NXT roster.

Currently being featured on WWE Evolve, Jensen might need to associate himself with his fellow second and third generation talent.

Jensen feels like someone who can bring a ton of aggression and frustration to Birthright right now.

5. Avery Styles

There might not be another rookie in wrestling who is being talked about more than Avery Styles.

With only a handful of matches, the son of AJ Styles has impressed fans with his athleticism and poise, while recent online conversation has brought some controversy to the Styles name.

Despite his current issues with fans and peers in the industry, Styles feels like a no-brainer eventual signing for WWE.

The company bringing in Avery Styles should lead to him becoming the latest member of Birthright on WWE NXT sooner rather than later.

4. The MFTs (Tama & Talla Tonga)

On the July 31 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, The MFTs introduced their new manager, WWE legend Haku.

The father of Tama and Talla Tonga has been a spark for a revival of The MFTs now without Solo Sikoa.

The Tongans have what it take to be the top duo in all of WWE and will look to prove that when they face The War Raiders, Damian Priest and R-Truth in a triple threat for the WWE Tag Team Titles on the August 14 SmacKDown.

Looking to expand Birthright to the main roster, Lexis King could see Tama and Talla Tonga as the key to make his stable bigger and stronger moving forward.

3. Dominik Mysterio

There might not be another second generation star on the WWE roster who is more successful than Dominik Mysterio.

Over the course of the past six years, Mysterio is a two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, former SmackDown Tag Team Champion and the current AAA Mega Champion.

While he is a loyal member of The Judgment Day, “Dirty Dom” could bring a lot of star power to Birthright.

Seeing them as his equals and those who understand him better than most, Dominik Mysterio could launch Birthright to the stratosphere whether it be WWE NXT or the main roster.

2. Nattie

Over the past few months, Nattie has made her return to the WWE NXT brand.

Forming a new faction with Nikkita Lyons and Karmen Petrovic, Nattie has showcased her veteran leadership and the benefits of training at The Dungeon.

Being a mentor to many in Birthright, it would make a ton of sense for Nattie to join forces with this faction.

Bringing 20 years of experience to the stable, Nattie could be the key to taking Birthright to the next level.

1. Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes is one of WWE’s biggest stars and a former three-time Undisputed WWE Champion.

“The American Nightmare” has been going through ups-and-downs throughout 2026 that has forced a crisis of confidence in recent months.

Not wanting to be the good guy anymore, Rhodes could show his true colors alongside Birthright.

Showing how he feels he is entitled to, Cody Rhodes turning heel and joining Birthright would be a great way to show a different side of his personality and elevate other second generation talent in the process.
