The NXT brand remains hot as ever as it continues to grow in popularity. With names such as Aleister Black, The Velveteen Dream, Adam Cole, Bianca Belair, Shayna Baszler, and Kairi Sane all currently having a chance to shine in NXT at the moment, one would think that WWE is considering making some main roster callups very soon. In the past, it has become an annual tradition to bring up at least a few names from developmental to either Raw or Smackdown right after WrestleMania comes to and end, and it looks like WWE will be doing after the event concludes in April. A new report now names several top stars from NXT who are expected to join the main roster later this year.
The new report from Slice Wrestling could reveal some potential spoilers as far as who to expect to see on the main roster after WrestleMania this year. While this does report is by no means a confirmation of who will be getting a promotion this year, it does seem likely that each of the following names are scheduled to be seen on Raw, Smackdown, or 205 Live soon enough. After WrestleMania concludes in New Orleans, fans should expect to see the likes of Ember Moon, Johnny Gargano, The Authors of Pain, Drew McIntyre, and Andrade “Cien” Almas on the main shows shortly thereafter. Those names are definitely worth getting excited over and they each could be on their way very soon.

In the case of Drew McIntyre, he was rumored to be getting called up to the main roster after losing the NXT Championship, but his injury has prevented that from happening. The Authors of Pain have similarly been rumored for a main roster callup for a while. Ember Moon and Andrade “CIen” Almas would have to lose their championships soon to get a callup, but with Johnny Gargano’s upcoming “Loser Leaves NXT” match coming up, this report could end up revealing the outcome of that particular match. With the likes of Ricochet, Candice LeRae, War Machine, and EC3 waiting to debut on NXT, the time has definitely come for some of the current bright stars of NXT to move on to a bigger stage.
