WrestleMania 42 has faced challenges with ticket sales and storylines, but a major positive is WWE's strong push for its newest NXT call-ups.
Oba Femi leads the charge, receiving a monumental push culminating in a marquee match against Brock Lesnar. His booking, from movie-style teasers to a dominant Royal Rumble performance, signals WWE's serious investment.
He is not alone. Trick Williams challenges for the U.S. Title, capitalizing on fan momentum, while 21-year-old Je'Von Evans is a favorite in the Intercontinental Title ladder match, marking a historic young achievement.
Alongside other graduates on the card, this 2026 NXT class provides a fresh spark and could be the highlight that saves the weekend, especially if Femi vs. Lesnar delivers.
