The WWE world is changing fast, and NXT is right in the middle of it. In just a few days, some of the biggest stars in NXT lost their titles, and now they are getting ready to move up to the main roster.
Stephanie Vaquer, Jordynne Grace, and Ricky Saints are all expected to join Raw or SmackDown very soon. These changes show how WWE is building up its future with fresh and talented wrestlers.At NXT Battleground, Trick Williams won the TNA World Championship, shocking fans everywhere. Right after that, Stephanie Vaquer lost her NXT Women’s Championship to Jacy Jayne, and Ricky Saints lost the North American Title to Ethan Page.
Jordynne Grace, who recently signed with WWE, also had a big match at Battleground against Vaquer but did not win. Now, with their title runs over, all three are moving forward to bigger stages.
Stephanie Vaquer is expected to join Monday Night Raw. She signed with WWE in 2024 and quickly made a name for herself in NXT by defeating Giulia to become the Women’s Champion. Even though she could’ve gone straight to the main roster, Vaquer chose to stay in NXT first.
She wanted to learn English and get used to WWE’s television style and wrestling approach. That smart decision helped her grow into a strong performer who is now ready for the big leagues.

Now, Grace is set to join SmackDown and bring her power and skills to WWE’s blue brand.As reported by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:“The reason was that both, along with Jordynne Grace are all expected on the main roster imminently. There are reports of Vaquer to Raw and Grace to Smackdown. When asking, we were told that it appeared that way right now. We didn’t get a read on where Saints would be going.”
