Two key WWE main roster call-ups are expected imminently.

Following a wave of roster cuts, as well as constant additions to the "NXT" brand, it was only a matter of time before call-ups to "Monday Night Raw" and "Friday Night SmackDown" were made. For many fans, the most obvious names to move on to the main roster are two popular veterans who are young enough to maintain high upside.

The two stars in question are Stephanie Vaquer, who recently lost the "NXT" Women's Championship, and Jordynne Grace. Cory Hays of PW Nexus reports that Vaquer is expected to be moved to "WWE Raw," while Grace will soon be a regular on "Friday Night SmackDown."

The news doesn't come as much of a surprise, given Vaquer's aforementioned title loss to Jacy Jayne on Tuesday. As for Grace, many argued she could've debuted on the main roster by now since she's already had two appearances in the women's Royal Rumble match. In both cases, fans recognized Grace, and she was given positive reactions from the live crowds.

Many within the wrestling industry believe Vaquer and Grace will become major players in WWE's women's division for years to come. Vaquer figures to give WWE good reason to further explore the market in Chile. It's been reported over the past year that WWE superstars such as Sami Zayn have pushed for WWE to host a PLE in the country.

At this time, there's no word on what's in store for Vaquer and Grace in terms of their first programs as members of the main roster. A recent rumor claiming that Vaquer will be facing Liv Morgan in a "Money in the Bank" qualifier has been debunked.
