10 WWE NXT Main Roster Call-Ups That NEED To Happen In 2025

10. Roxanne Perez

Nobody beats The Prodigy? Well, somebody is going to have to, as she can't hold the NXT Women's Championship forever.

Once she drops that belt—which could come as soon as NXT New Year's Evil, when she faces Iron Survivor Challenge winner Giulia—there will be nowhere for Perez to go but up to the main roster. She'll have already accomplished everything worthwhile in NXT, and it will only hinder her career for her to stick around.

Perez earned that Prodigy nickname because she came into the company already a better wrestler than most of the roster, despite being so young. She's been training since 13, part of Booker T's Reality of Wrestling since 18, and is only now 23.

If she stays in NXT, her only options are to stay champion and keep repeating what she's done all through 2024, which will become more and more monotonous, or to fall down the card and just be a supporting act, which wastes her talents.

Going to Raw or SmackDown now, in particular, allows her an opportunity to progress her way toward the Women's United States or Women's Intercontinental Championship so she doesn't get pushed too far, too fast, and can continue to grow while working with veterans she can truly learn from, instead of rookies she's helping teach to get to her level.
