when NXT First created, it was intended to be the development brand that created the next star of WWE. Whether it’s a wrestler like Seth Rollins or someone used to business like Rome’s governance, he did so with his young talent. During the mid- to late 2010s, NXT was changed as it became home to the biggest names of independent scenes like Finberol, Kevin Owens and Asuka, but after running that course, NXT 2.0 returned to building superstars from a young age. Today’s NXT is a mixture of both approaches. There are veterans like Ethan Page and Stephanie Vaquer, but they are also used to develop people like Trick Williams with little wrestling background. So, how old are the NXT stars today, and are they young enough to control WWE’s main roster for years to come?
How old is the male wrestler on NXT?
NXT champion Oba Femi is still in her 20s
- NXT brought several veterans from AEW.
- This brand is full of stars in their 20s and early 30s.
- The days of much older NXT wrestlers are over.
NXT has two levels of male wrestlers. You know that young guys quickly rise in ranks and rise out of nowhere, and many casual fans already know that thanks to their work in other organizations like AEW. NXT has made Lexis King (Brian Pillman Jr.), Ethan Page and Ricky Saints (Ricky Starks) feel like the big stars Aee and Tony Khan failed. So, how old are they? Brian Pillman’s son, Lexis King, is 31, and Ethan Page, like the Ricky Saints, has been around for a long time at 35.
Meanwhile, NXT champion Oba Femi, just turned 27, has a much longer career than him. Trick Williams, who also carried NXT as a men’s champion, is 30 years old and slightly older (he’ll be 31 at the end of May), the same age as Wes Lee. The up-and-coming people are even younger, with Miles nearly 26 and Jevon Evans only turning 21. NXT day, with lots of male wrestlers in their late 30s and 40s, is certainly over.
What is the age of female wrestlers on NXT?
Stephanie Verker and Gilia have been wrestling for many years.
- NXT’s women’s division is packed with veterans from all over the world.
- Roxanne Perez is a two-time NXT women’s champion at the age of 23.
- Many young wrestlers are waiting as the top stars move to the main female roster.
NXT’s men’s division is on track, but it cannot compete with the women’s roster. They dominate Screen Time as the best female wrestling on the planet on Tuesday night, piling up with main event talent. NXT women’s champion Stephanie Verker was established before joining WWE last year, but has more years left in business at just 32 years old. Meanwhile, her top rival, Julia, is 31 years old. Former TNA top star Jording Race, she is 29 years old and former North American female champion Fallon Henry is 30 years old. All of these women are always ready to get raw and smackdown.
NXT’s women’s division also has a lot of young talent. They are led by women who have long ruled NXT at Roxanne Perez. He is only 23 years old and has gotten her start as a teenager despite winning the NXT Women’s Championship twice and being the first ever honorary women’s champion. The waiting midcards are filled with young women ready to lead development as soon as they have space for them. Shia is only 21 years old and younger than Roxanne. Haida Parker and Kelani Jordan are 26 years old, Izzydam, Soluluka and Zaria are 25 years old, Carmen Petrovich is 29 years old, and Rush Legend is 27 years old.
Many NXT wrestlers are ready for WWE main roster
NXT has the best talent for years to come
- Older NXT wrestlers like Ethan Page and Ricky Saints need to be called out immediately.
- Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia, and Roxanne Perez are ready for the main roster.
- Today’s NXT star will be long after the WWE Main Event retired.
NXT may be where superstars are created, but many are not ready for Raw or Smackdown. I hope that at age 35, Ethan Page and the Ricky Saints will have time to shine quickly on Mondays and Fridays. However, young names like Trick Williams got fans hooked when they appeared on Carmelo Hayes and Smackdown.
There are almost many celebrities in the women’s category of NXT. Stephanie Verker, Julia and Roxanne Perez are ready in Raw and Smackdown’s particularly weakened midcard division. Vaquer and Giulia can only win a few years at the top, but Perez is 23 years old, allowing her to dominate for the next decade or more. Once they step up, the NXT midcards are ready to climb to the top, including NXT women’s North American champions Sol Luka, Kerani Jordan and Fallon Henry.
NXT’s approach of having wrestlers with a huge age and experience is working. Shawn Michaels’ brand is no longer developed, but a roster of talent on par with what you’ll find on Raw and Smackdown. The only difference is that after legends like Rome Reign and Becky Lynch cut their wrestling boots, many of these names compete for a long time.
