Predicting when every NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia star will join WWE's main roster

#1 Andrade “Cien” Almas & Johnny Gargano

Andrade Almas: Rumours in early 2017 suggested that Vince McMahon wanted Almas to join the main roster around the time of the Superstar Shake-Up. Of course, that didn’t happen and he has since gone on to redefine his character in NXT with the help of Zelina Vega. The two are destined for huge things and we think their main-roster call-up will come in 2018, possibly after SummerSlam.

Johnny Gargano: After failing to win the NXT Championship from Almas in an instant classic at TakeOver: Philadelphia, the next step for Gargano is to feud with former tag partner Tommaso Ciampa, who returned to attack him at the end of the show. Beyond that, expect the 199lbs fan favorite to become one of the featured stars on 205 Live when he eventually joins the main roster, which we think will happen in late 2018.
