WWE Draft 2021: Johnny Gargano
Johnny Gargano is one of the top stars on WWE NXT. He has achieved everything Tuesday Night’s has to offer. Gargano is a former 1-time NXT Champion and a 3-time NXT North American Champion, and a move to the main roster is the only thing missing on his decorated CV.
If Gargano moves to the main roster, be it Smackdown or Raw, he could be a great fit in the mid-card segment and get into the Intercontinental or United States Championship title picture. With his amazing in-ring capabilities, he could be a great asset for any brand he lands.
WWE Draft 2021: Raquel Gonzales
Raquel Gonzales is the locker room leader on WWE NXT 2.0 in the women’s division. The current NXT Women’s Champion is the brightest female star on the brand, and she could be a great prospect if she moves to Monday Night Raw or Friday Night Smackdown.
On Monday Night Raw, we could see her feuding with the likes of Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Rhea Ripley, Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, and others. If she heads to Friday Night Smackdown, we can see her feuding with Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, and others.

WWE Draft 2021: Austin Theory
Austin Theory has made his main roster debut already in late 2019. He was a member of the Zelina Vega-led faction on Monday Night Rae that comprised Andrade and Angel Garza. However, despite having a decent run, WWE quietly moved Theory back to NXT in mid-2020.
Come WWE Draft 2021, we can expect Theory back on the main roster after an impressive run with The Way on WWE NXT 2.0. He is a young talent who needs significant exposure to shine and make a name for himself. Either it’s Raw or Smackdown, Theory could be one of the future prospects for any brand.
