NXT Stars In Town For WWE Royal Rumble 2025

NXT Stars In Town For WWE Royal Rumble 2025 WWE

A number of NXT stars are reportedly in Indianapolis ahead of Saturday’s WWE Royal Rumble premium live event.

Every time the Royal Rumble comes around each year, there’s speculation about which talents from NXT could make surprises appearances in the men’s and women’s Rumble matches.

Last year, Carmelo Hayes and Bron Breakker appeared in the men’s Rumble before being called up to the main roster shortly after, while in the women’s, Tiffany Stratton and Roxanne Perez were part of the match, which was a call-up for Stratton.

This year, the speculation is no different, and several NXT stars are reportedly in town ahead of the event.

As reported by PWInsider Elite, WWE NXT stars Lash Legend, Roxanne Perez, Stephanie Vaquer and Jaida Parker have all been seen in Indianapolis.

This shouldn’t be taken as a guarantee they’ll be in the women’s Rumble though, as it’s routine to have extra talents backstage as ‘backups’ in case someone planned for the match has to be replaced for whatever reason, and there could even just be other reasons entirely for them being there.

Legend has been featured on the main roster many times over the past few months alongside her tag team partner Jakara Jackson, with Legend even picking up a singles win on SmackDown against Piper Niven.

Perez has long been talked about for a call-up, and her dropping the NXT Women’s Championship to Giulia recently makes it even more likely, plus the fact she’s now embroiled in a feud with Raw star Bayley. This would be Perez’s third Rumble if she is in fact part of it, having been included in both 2023 and 2024.

Vaquer worked two main roster WWE live events in Mexico when she signed with the company last year, but aside from that, hasn’t been featured in a main roster situation.

Parker had a series of matches with SmackDown star Michin last year, although that all played out on NXT TV.

We’ll continued to keep you posted with all the latest updates on potential surprises heading into the WWE Royal Rumble.
