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

Sol Ruca moving on to the main roster is such a no-brainer that she might as well not even be on this list, but if she wasn't, she would be the very first person anyone reading the article would call out as an omission.

She checks off everything you could look for in an NXT graduate: she's young, marketable, incredibly athletic, is over with the crowd, has had a title reign in NXT, would arguably be stalemating if she won the NXT Women's Championship rather than progressing much in her career, and has already had some matches on SmackDown and her big win at Saturday Night's Main Event over Bayley.

Over the next few months or so, Ruca should finish up her storyline with Zaria and make an appearance in the Women's Royal Rumble for 2026 at the very least.

Winning that is out of the question, but a good showing and a subsequent trade brought on by Nick Aldis or Adam Pearce would make logical sense. After all, in kayfabe, if those general managers don't think she's got the tools worth being an acquisition, what more are they looking for?!
