Liv Morgan has two familiar foes targeting her for the Women’s World Championship post-SummerSlam 2026: Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer.

2. Oba Femi’s rise
One of the top NXT call-ups to cement an incredible rise on the main roster in 2026 is Oba Femi. The Ruler garnered huge momentum with his captivating feud with Brock Lesnar and winning the King of the Ring tournament.
