Who will be the latest debutants?

Moves from NXT to the WWE main roster don't always work out, but for certain stars, the move can be exciting. Two former Champions from NXT could be making their move to the WWE main roster.

According to PWInsider, Rhea Ripley's loss to Raquel Gonzalez and Damian Priest's loss to Karrion Kross at New Year's Evil indicated the end of their run with NXT:

"The current belief is that last night's New Year's Evil broadcast was planned to be the final NXT appearances for Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest and they each will be shifted to the main roster. While things can always change based on the whims of Vince McMahon, Priest's loss to Karrion Kross and Rhea's loss to Raquel Gonzalez were devised with the idea those were the end of the NXT chapters of their career."

We hope this is true because both Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley are ready for the WWE main roster. One could argue that the latter has more potential to succeed long-term.
