Several new reports have emerged regarding several NXT stars moving to the main roster and a WWE veteran switching brands.
With WrestleMania 42 officially behind the scenes, it's time for WWE to move on to new storylines and roster adjustments on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown. Often, this is the period when the company returns with the annual draft. However, it is unclear when or if this will happen even after it is abandoned in 2025.
Still, there has been a notable influx of talent on both rosters over the past few months. Artists like Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Page and Royce Keys. Well, it looks like the new additions to the main roster won't be slowing down any time soon.
After former NXT Champion Ethan Page debuted on Raw this week, Wrestle Votes reports that one-time TNA Champion Joe Hendry is expected to move to the red brand soon, after some initial speculation that he could move to SmackDown. The former NXT Champion was defeated decisively by Keanu Culver on this week's episode of NXT.
There are also rumors that one-time NXT and North American Champion Ricky Saints could be moved to the main roster. BodySlam+ claims there have been discussions about a move, but The CW Network has told WWE they would like at least one notable veteran as a top star for the brand on their airwaves. Therefore, The Saints may stick around in NXT for some time.
Could Rey Mysterio be moved to SmackDown?
Hendry, Saints and Page aren't the only NXT stars in discussion or joining the main roster. According to Wrestle Votes, longtime NXT Women's Champion Jessie Jayne has also been talked about as a name to add to the SmackDown roster during creative meetings.
Jayne is the longest-tenured member of the NXT roster after debuting with the black-and-gold brand in the summer of 2021. Along with being a two-time Women's Champion, she is also a former tag team titlist.
The Wrestle Votes report also reveals that WWE creative is considering bringing in Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. The wrestling legend is currently a member of the Raw roster, and is reportedly considering the possibility of a move to SmackDown soon.
