WWE Raw and SmackDown after Mania are known for being very special episodes. These shows are moments to celebrate new Champions, start new feuds, and welcome back injured talents. It’s also a time for NXT call-ups to the main roster. From the days of Paige debuting to win the WWE Divas Championship in 2014, to Stephanie Vaquer<\/a><\/span> making her main roster debut against IYO SKY last year, these shows have been a highlight that sets in motion NXT talents\u2019 runs on Raw or SmackDown.<\/p>\n

WWE has done some much-needed NXT call-ups in the past few weeks. Trick Williams and Jordynne Grace are now members of the SmackDown roster. Je’Von Evans recently joined the Raw roster. At NXT New Year’s Evil 2026<\/a><\/span>, Oba Femi vacated the NXT Championship to make a sensational debut at the WWE Royal Rumble<\/a><\/span>. Speaking of the Rumble, NXT talents appeared only in the Women’s match. Jacy Jayne, Kelani Jordan, Lola Vice, and Sol Ruca<\/a><\/span> literally stole the show that night.<\/p>\n

WWE also has to be wary of stripping NXT of too much talent in one hit, with star power still needed on the brand, regardless of how much the main roster may need fresh faces. As NXT Stand and Deliver<\/a><\/span> is now behind us, let’s take a look at who will, may, or might be called up to the main roster after WrestleMania 42.<\/p>\n

They Might<\/h2>\n

Ethan Page<\/h3>\n

One NXT standout that seems highly likely to be called up to the main roster in the near future is Ethan Page. Since joining WWE in May 2024, Page has propelled himself into the NXT Championship picture right from day one. Following his arrival, Page only took two months before he won the NXT Championship and became the top heel on the brand.<\/p>\n

He has won the two biggest prizes on NXT. Over the past two years, \u201cAll Ego\u201d has also become one of the longest reigning and most successful NXT North American Champions as well. He also became the AAA Mixed Tag Team Champion with Chelsea Green.<\/p>\n

After accomplishing so much on the brand, Page is someone who needs one opportunity to make the same kind of impact on the main roster and could do just that on WWE Raw or SmackDown after WrestleMania 42. And Page is definitely poised to enter many big storylines on the main roster.<\/p>\n
