WWE NXT Stars To Be Called Up In 2026

WWE

With no formal WWE Draft in 2025, it seems that 2026 could be poised to see several NXT talent officially called up to Raw or SmackDown.

From those that have already been incorporated into main roster storylines, to others that have had previous exposure in other companies — there could be some intriguing call-ups to the WWE main roster in the coming year.

Here are eight WWE NXT stars that should be called up in 2026. 

8. Je’Von Evans

A star that has already been making his mark in WWE on the main roster is Je’Von Evans.

Making repeat appearances as of late on the WWE main roster, it seems like “The Young OG” is main roster bound in 2026, with WWE themselves confirming that he will soon be a “free agent”.

Whether or not the move comes early in the year may depend on if Evans challenges for the NXT Championship once again, but in the end the North Carolina native has more than proven his worth on a bigger stage.

Certainly able to be incorporated into either WWE Raw or SmackDown, Je’Von Evans could be an amazing new addition to the main roster in 2026.
