10 WWE NXT Main Roster Call-Ups That NEED To Happen In 2026

10. Trick Williams

A recurring theme on this list is going to be some phrasing of "What else is there for them to do in NXT?" and that may apply best to Trick Williams.

In fact, Williams is in an interesting spot because he reached that point so many months ago that WWE had to ship him to TNA Wrestling to be their world champion and give him a different company's title to fight for, because there wasn't room for him to hold the top spot alongside Oba Femi, who is back to being The Ruler of NXT once again.

There's something to be said about not wanting to remove all your stars from NXT who can draw an audience, but is playing it safe for the brand a bigger priority than allowing Trick the opportunity to advance to the next stage of his career? After all, as important as NXT is, Raw and SmackDown are the true flagship shows which are even more crucial to succeed.

Williams either has a built-in feud with Carmelo Hayes or can reform Trick Melo Gang at any moment and it would be a hit act. He's earned the right to move on.
