WWE NXT Call-Ups After Great American Bash 2026

On Sunday, June 28, WWE NXT will present their first premium live event on The CW with The Great American Bash 2026 show.

This PLE will offer some big time matches that might completely alter the landscape and set the stage for several stars to get called up to the main roster.

From longtime roster members to former champions, these future NXT call-ups will be looking to get a fresh start on Raw or SmackDown following the next premium live event.

Here are seven potential WWE NXT call-ups after Great American Bash 2026.

7. Tatum Paxley

On the June 9 edition of WWE NXT, Zaria defeated Tatum Paxley to win the NXT Women’s North American Championship.

Following the show went off the air, Paxley said farewell to the NXT faithful in a showing similar to other stars who were called up earlier this year.

After a four year run on the brand, it feels like Paxley has pretty much done everything she can on NXT and is ready for the next step of her career.

Feeling like a ready made main roster act, Tatum Paxley should become a popular figure that fans can rally behind like they did on NXT whether it be on Monday or Friday nights moving forward.

6. Josh Briggs

Josh Briggs is another longtime WWE NXT star who has been an active member of the roster for the past five years.

Over the course of his run on NXT, Briggs has been a versatile and dependable in-ring performer on the roster.

The former NXT UK Tag Team Champion has looked like someone who has the size, strength and look that would work very well on the WWE main roster.

Whether it be as an enforcer in a faction or on his own as a solo star, Briggs has whatever it takes to shine on Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown in the near future.

5. Kelani Jordan

Since signing as part of the NIL program, Kelani Jordan has made a seamless transition for the world of gymnastics into pro wrestling.

The inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion has showcased her unmatched athleticism and her ability to excel in whatever role she’s been given.

After reigns as NXT Women’s North American and TNA Knockouts World Champion, Jordan could be prepared for the next stage of her career.

Kelani heading to the WWE main roster would be intriguing to see how she can fit in with the women’s division on either Raw or SmackDown in the coming months.

4. Jaida Parker

Another member of the WWE NXT women’s division who has been a rising star is Jaida Parker.

Signing with WWE in 2022, Parker has immediately displayed her charisma and personality in a major way.

With a no-nonsense attitude and a level of aggression unlike many others in the women’s scene, Ms. Parker feels like yet another female star who can take the spotlight if given the opportunity to get called up to the WWE main roster.

Parker heading to Raw or SmackDown feels deserved and would make her an excellent addition following NXT The Great American Bash 2026.

3. Nikkita Lyons

Over the past several months, Nikkita Lyons has once again become a consistent presence on WWE TV.

Across NXT, Evolve and LFG, Lyons has become one of the most active female stars on the roster.

This has led to some rumors circulating that Lyons has been discussed for a WWE main roster call-up.

Following NXT The Great American Bash 2026, Nikkita Lyons seems like a logical call-up to the main roster where she can showcase her undeniable charisma and align herself with someone like Becky Lynch moving forward.

2. Tony D’Angelo

At NXT Great American Bash 2026, Tony D’Angelo will defend the NXT Championship against Naraku.

Despite his reign just starting in April, there might be a chance that this proves to be D’Angelo’s final match on WWE NXT.

Over the past five years, Tony D has been one of the main faces of the NXT brand and is the first ever NXT Grand Slam Champion.

“The Don of NXT” could lose the gold to the former EVIL on June 28 and then move on to join the WWE main roster where he can show what has made him a top star on Tuesday nights over his entire run.

1. Lola Vice

Lola Vice has been one of the cornerstones of the NXT women’s division since making her debut in 2022.

Now reigning as the NXT Women’s Champion, Vice will defend the title against Kendal Grey at The Great American Bash 2026.

Considering their history with one another and her meteoric rise, Grey could potentially dethrone Vice to win the NXT Women’s Championship at this historic event.

After losing the title, it could be the right time for Vice to make her way up to the main roster, which she has been rumored to be called up for quite some time now.
