I think Sasha Banks is right there...was already there by the 2016 Rumble. She was held down.

I think Alexa is right there...white fans want to cheer her Big time but calm down when Sasha or Becky are involved.

Enzo of course is someone to keep your eye on no matter how hard they bury him

Rusev is a smark city away from something catching on

Asuka is only gonna get bigger

But who else is there? Braun is common sense but that's a no brainer

I can't see Asuka or Rusev as actual big stars to anyone but big wrestling fans. Same with Nakamura.

Sasha and Alexa both have crossover potential. Sasha has appeal to any girl who doesn't fit into an obvious box, and Alexa is every midwest sorority girl, but with athleticism and charisma/mic presence.

Enzo can definitely cross over

I don't think it's happened yet, but Jinder could probably be real big internationally. He needs the right program with a big star. Cena putting him over would've been it.

they're all just cogs on the wheel...there won't be another huge star for the WWE because they don't want huge stars to carry the brand. They want the WWE brand itself to be the biggest star. I think Ryback even said HHH told him the same thing or something along those lines.
yeah WWE is like the circus now

they are all just evenly crafted acts now.

Austin, Rock, Taker, etc were larger than life

Elias could be the one. They're actually doing great by not giving him a mega push or anything. They need to let him keep bubbling for another 18 months building his way up through the midcard with the IC/US belt then slowly moving into the main event.

sasha still having 'next' when she been around :dead:
Feel the same when I read the name Roman reigns, only it's different cuz unlike her he actually gets protective booking. If dude ain't a crossover star now what exactly can go on in the future that will change? Like dude has already been given the keys to the city?

I am very biased but I think the WWE had a chance to make Sasha a light verison of the Rock during his peak. The colorful, charismtic bad guy that everyone loved. Following the revolution she was the hottest female wrestler in the company and was getting Daniel Bryan reaction when she wasn’t in matches.

Sadly she has been passed over but Alexa. Rumor is Sasha doesn’t have the best attitude but its interesting how the white blonde is getting the run that Sasha hasn’t gotten yet to date. How much more over would Nia be if Sasha was the champ using Nia as back-up and they ran back the Diesel/Shawn Angle. How much more would Bailey matter if she couldn’t get over the hump because she wasn’t willing to cross the line to beat her former bff.


Also think Casero had the potential to be a legit title contender/upper card mainstay based purely on ring work and crowd reaction. But he hasn’t ‘grabbed the proverbial brass ring’ whatever that means.

Aleister Black has crazy potential, but something tells me the E will squander that away if he hits the main roster.

Enzo's crossover appeal is right there but his ring work won't get shyt done. Current Miz has all the makings. His last two years have been phenomenal. It'd be exciting to see him in the main event picture and what he'd do with that.

Sasha not having a proper title reign at this point is fukkin' blasphemous. I understand the argument that Charlotte or Alexa need the title more to validate them as performers than Sasha but come the fukk on. Sasha is right there IMO. Her and Alexa are a cut above the rest in their own ways. If Becky Lynch got more airtime I think she could be up there too.

Honestly, the Women's division desperately needs a really big showman though. Someone who really just embodies a larger than life personality from the jump. None of these women right now have that going for them unfortunately, and I think it would be a spark to a suffering women's division.

I like Sasha and Alexa as much as anyone but I don't believe they're gonna cross over shyt.

And if even Braun is gonna make it to that next level he has to beat Brock at Mania or something. And after that he needs memorable opponents or he's still not gonna reach that next level.



As far as who will make it to "big" main event status on the main roster, I know Asuka, Aleister Black, Bobby Roode, McinTyre, Sanity and Adam Cole will all be at the top of the card in the next few years.




oh boy, you're optimistic about that...I wouldn't hold my breath. He's black...he's undersized...he's already dancing in his gimmick
Just trust history breh
I just looked him up and dude is 6'1 so he's not that small. He might just have enough charisma and athleticism to make it :to:i hope.
