WrestleMania 41 is a big weekend for WWE and all of professional wrestling. The best of the best, and the biggest names in the business will be in Las Vegas trying to find a way to get some time in front of the camera. WWE NXT Stand & Deliver is that weekend as well, as the premiere PLE for NXT. Not only will the top names in that brand get time there but expect some of them to show up on camera during both nights of WrestleMania. Here are three names who must be involved in some fashion.
Oba Femi
Oba Femi must appear on screen during WrestleMania 41. The current NXT Champion looks like a main eventer in all definitions of the word. Will he reach that status under Triple H’s creative direction? There’s no telling the future, but right now, Femi is a big deal.
Get him on camera during one of the hype moments of WrestleMania and let people know who the biggest champion by size in the promotion is perhaps. Let them know where he can be seen and take advantage of the millions of eyes that are on the PLE. Oba Femi has the makings of being a major star and WWE must treat him as such during its biggest weekend.
Stephanie Vaquer
WWE seemingly has major plans for Stephanie Vaquer. With Giulia injured, the company went to her to make her a double champion, rather than putting the belt on another performer in what is a deep women’s division.
Expect Vaquer to appear in the crowd on WrestleMania one of the two nights, particularly during one of the women’s title matches. She recently appeared on camera during a UFC event, holding both the NXT women’s titles. Fans quickly embraced Vaquer and putting her on camera during WrestleMania 41 would be a big deal.
Ricky Saints
The new NXT North American champion is perhaps the biggest addition to the NXT men’s division in some time. While known as Ricky Starks in AEW, his fans wanted to see more from the man once known as “Stroke Daddy.” He seems to be on the path to get that spotlight in NXT, but his star is already brighter than Tuesday nights.
One way to get Saints some shine would be to have a simple backstage segment with him and CM Punk. They have a history in AEW. One that was derailed thanks to the latter being fired from the company. Imagine the fan reaction if they cross paths backstage while Punk is prepping for his main event against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. That would be the moment that would give Saints even more momentum than he already has in his possession.
