WWE NXT Superstar Power Rankings: Oba Femi Remains the Ruler

Who doesn’t love a good set of power rankings? WWE is a never-ending live-action soap opera full of twists and turns, wins and losses. Character arcs rise and fall, with fans playing a big role in who gets pushed and who gets buried.

Power rankings can be based on many things. They’re always subjective. You could base them on who’s champion, who’s in the main event scene, or who’s getting the biggest pops. These rankings are mostly based on where we think things are going.

It’s a mix of everything. Who is WWE building around? Who’s set to main event a premium live event? Who’s getting title shots? Who’s going to be champion? Alright, that’s enough prelude. Let’s jump into the latest 2025 WWE NXT Superstar Power Rankings.

1) Oba Femi

Oba Femi is the NXT Champion. He’s great in the ring, terrific on the mic, and has a unique look. He’s an imposing figure with all the makings of a future main roster main eventer.

Femi is ready for Raw or SmackDown. It’s just a matter of time before he shows up on Mondays or Fridays.

2) Trick Williams

Some weeks, Trick Williams looks like a star. Other weeks, you wonder if he’s going to fizzle out. But dethroning Joe Hendry as TNA Champion was a huge moment for Carmelo Hayes’ former right-hand man.

Holding another company’s top title makes for must-see TV, and we’re here for all of it.

3) Ethan Page

From the second he showed up in NXT, Ethan Page looked like a bigger deal than he ever did in AEW. Putting a title on a new guy right away is always a risk, but it worked for Page, and he’s only gotten better since.

Page’s feud with Williams was one of the best of the past year. And now that he’s taken the NXT North American Championship from Ricky Saints, he’s right back in the spotlight on NXT.

4) Je’Von Evans

He hasn’t won gold yet, but Je’Von Evans keeps getting big chances, including title opportunities and a match with Randy Orton. The main reason Evans probably hasn’t won anything yet is because he’s so young. But make no mistake, he’s a future star.

5) Mariah May* (Name Pending)

The former AEW Women’s Champion made her NXT debut on the June 3 episode. Like with Ricky Starks (now Ricky Saints), they didn’t say her name — even though the crowd definitely did.

No matter what they end up calling her, Mariah May is already a star. She’ll be at the top of this list soon enough.

6) Jacy Jayne

The biggest riser of the week, Jacy Jayne looks like the one tapped to replace Stephanie Vaquer, who’s now made her way to the main roster.

Every so often, NXT crowns a new star with a surprise title win. It happened when Roxanne Perez beat Mandy Rose. Now, it’s Jayne’s turn. Whether she can rise above her past midcard status, we’ll have to wait and see.

7) Sol Ruca

The machine loves Sol Ruca. I’m not totally sold yet, but every time she returns from injury, WWE gives her a push. Now the Women’s North American Champion, Ruca is in a big spot and clearly one of the top names in NXT.

8) Jordynne Grace

It looked like Jordynne Grace was headed to the main roster, but maybe not yet. With Giulia, Perez, and Vaquer all moving on, the former TNA Knockouts Champion is staying for now — and she’s still a huge draw.

9) Myles Borne

Myles Borne’s push kind of came out of nowhere, but that’s fine at this level. He was never going to beat Femi, but getting the shot at all shows that WWE sees something in Borne.

10) Tony D’Angelo

Tony D’Angelo’s gimmick is basically just Tony Soprano. But somehow, it works. His run as the Don of NXT has given us some great stories, and his feud, particularly, with former underboss Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo has been super entertaining.

It’s keeping D’Angelo in the top 10, but just barely. He’s been in NXT for nearly four years, so after the Stacks feud, it’s time for Tony D to move up to the main roster.

11) Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo
12) Jasper Troy
13) Jaida Parker
14) Kelani Jordan
15) Noam Dar
