Report links Shawn Michaels' move to main roster with potential NXT call-ups

WrestleTalk reports that WWE Executive Director Bruce Prichard is expected to retire after WrestleMania 43 in 2027 and that Shawn Michaels is set to replace him on main-roster creative alongside Paul "Triple H" Levesque. The outlet named several NXT performers it believes could be moved up to Raw and SmackDown under Michaels.

The WrestleTalk feature highlights five NXT names that could be candidates for a call-up. Below is a summary of each wrestler and the context provided by the report.

• Kelani Jordan - WrestleTalk notes Jordan made a main-roster appearance on the September 14 edition of Monday Night Raw in a Money In The Bank qualifying match and points to her athleticism and quick adaptation to WWE as reasons she could be promoted.
• Myles Borne - The report describes Borne as having increased prominence on NXT over the past year and being groomed for a next career step, making a main-roster call-up a reasonable expectation under new creative leadership.
• ZARIA - Signed to NXT in 2024, ZARIA is identified by WrestleTalk as a featured NXT performer and the current NXT Women’s North American Champion, positioning her as a likely candidate to join the main roster.
• Tony D’Angelo - WrestleTalk calls out Tony D’Angelo as one of NXT’s biggest stars over the past five years, noting his historic status on the brand and suggesting Michaels’ arrival could increase his chances of moving to Raw or SmackDown.
• Kendal Grey - The outlet points to Grey’s rapid rise since her 2025 debut, including stints as WWE Evolve Women’s Champion and NXT Women’s Champion, and frames her as a clear candidate for promotion.

All of these items are presented by WrestleTalk as possible developments linked to the reported executive change; none are confirmed by WWE. WrestleTalk is the source of the report and the suggested call-up list.
