More News: Unexpected WWE Name Could Get Bigger Role on TV
Top NXT Stars Attend SmackDown
Once Williams gets called up to the main roster, it would appear he'd be a lock for "WWE SmackDown." It's the show where his fiancée, Lash Legend, performs. Williams has been praised for his charisma and his improved in-ring work. The general consensus within the professional wrestling world is that his call-up is long overdue.
Femi has been viewed as a future top star of either "Monday Night Raw" or "Friday Night SmackDown" for years to come. He has the size to be an intimidating monster heel, but he's also shown the ability to be a babyface on "NXT." Plenty of dream matches against the likes of Bron Breakker and Jacob Fatu await Femi once he gets the call.
Ruca is one of WWE's most athletic stars. Her finishing move, Sol Snatcher, is an easy highlight reel that has dazzled fans. Ruca got her first taste of the main roster when she teamed with Zaria to challenge Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. There will likely be plenty more chances for Ruca to shine on the main roster in the future.
