Speculation is swirling about who WWE might add to the Raw roster once Crown Jewel 2026 wraps up on November 7, with three names standing out as plausible candidates for General Manager Adam Pearce to bring to Monday nights.
Tony D’Angelo tops the list after years of fan speculation about a main-roster move. The former NXT Champion came up short in his bid to reclaim the title at Halloween Havoc, where Grayson Waller retained in a match that now sets up a championship showdown between Waller and CM Punk on the November 4 episode of NXT. With roughly five years in the developmental brand and a resume that includes most of the title accolades NXT has to offer, D’Angelo looks like a star who has outgrown the Performance Center stage.
Omos is another name in the mix, and his case is built around the current state of The Judgment Day. Since Dominik Mysterio aligned with Omos over in AAA, fans have pushed for WWE to bring that pairing to Raw as well — especially given that WWE has already had Judgment Day members appear on AAA programming to support Mysterio. With Dominik and JD McDonagh stuck in comedic storylines for much of the year, adding Omos’s imposing presence could be the jolt needed to restore some credibility to a faction that has drifted into stagnation.
Then there’s Kelani Jordan, whose NXT Women’s Championship reign continues after she turned back Wren Sinclair at Halloween Havoc. Robert Stone has already confirmed Jordan will put the title on the line again on the November 4 NXT episode against an opponent yet to be revealed. Regardless of that outcome, the belief is that a main-roster call-up isn’t far off — Jordan was reportedly inserted into a WWE Money in the Bank qualifier back in September specifically to give the Raw and SmackDown audience a taste of her before a bigger move. With her husband Carmelo Hayes having recently landed on Raw, a reunion on the same brand would make plenty of sense from a storytelling standpoint.
None of these moves are confirmed, but the timing lines up well. Crown Jewel gives WWE a natural checkpoint to refresh both rosters, and Raw in particular could use reinforcements — whether that’s a decorated NXT veteran looking to prove himself on a bigger stage, a monster who could reshape a struggling faction, or a reigning champion ready to test herself outside developmental. Keep an eye on NXT’s November 4 show, where the fallout from Halloween Havoc could set the stage for exactly these kinds of moves.
