Despite having returned to NXT programming this week, it appears the Gallus boys could well be main roster-bound later this year.
Via Corey Brennan of Fightful Select, Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang were discussed for a move to Raw of SmackDown as part of this year's WWE Draft. Although officials are high on the trio, such a move was decided against at that time. Still, it's expected that Gallus will be called up to the main roster at some point in the "coming months".
Wolfgang was the first of this three to land under the WWE banner, competing in the January 2017 tournament to crown the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Champion. There, Wolfgang would lose in the tourney semi-finals to eventual winner Tyler Bate. Of course, that title would soon be rebranded as the NXT UK Championship as part of the launch of the NXT UK brand. And as part of that 2018 launch, the Coffeys would make their presence known, soon joining forces with Wolfgang to form Gallus.

During their time together, Gallus has held both the NXT UK Tag Team Titles and the NXT Tag Team Titles, in addition to Mark Coffey having a short run as the Heritage Cup Champion. The faction would make the formal move from NXT UK to NXT in August 2022.
In terms of NXT names who did make the jump to the main roster, the 2024 Draft saw Ilja Dragunov, Lyra Valkyria, Kiana James, and Dijak head to Raw, while Carmelo Hayes, Blair Davenport, and Baron Corbin moved to SmackDown.
