The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) roster is stacked with talented Superstars, but not all of them get the recognition they deserve. Last year, several promising wrestlers were given a push, but unfortunately, some of them have fallen by the wayside. LA Knight, Omos, Shayna Baszler, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Karrion Kross are just a few examples of Superstars who were once on the rise but have since lost momentum. It’s not too late for WWE to restore their hype, and here’s why these five stars need a revival.
LA Knight, once a fan favorite, has seen his stock plummet in 2024. After a strong run in 2023, where he teamed up with John Cena and faced off against Roman Reigns, he has been relegated to reduced TV time and minimal involvement in the title picture. With the King and Queen of the Ring on the horizon, fans are hoping for a return to his late-2023 booking.
Omos, once destined for superstardom, has also fallen out of favor. After a strong push under the previous regime, he was regularly featured in matches against top stars like AJ Styles and Bobby Lashley. However, since the summer of 2023, he has disappeared from WWE TV, and it’s unclear when he’ll return to prominence.
Shayna Baszler, an unstoppable force in NXT, has struggled to find her footing on the main roster. Despite a promising run with Ronda Rousey, her booking has been inconsistent, and she has lost the faith of the bookers. It’s time for Baszler to receive an iconic singles run, showcasing her impressive skills and dominant presence.
Shinsuke Nakamura, a star with immense potential, has struggled to find consistency in his WWE career. After a promising start in 2017, he lost his spot as a credible solo star, but a recent heel turn on RAW showed promise. With a recent move to SmackDown and a shortage of convincing midcard heels, Nakamura has the opportunity to reclaim his vicious streak.
Karrion Kross, despite being high on WWE’s radar, has failed to connect with fans. His current character has been met with disinterest, and his faction, The Final Testament, has failed to gain traction. It’s running out of time for WWE to help Kross establish a formidable connection with fans, and a revival is desperately needed.
These five Superstars have been given opportunities in the past, and it’s not too late for WWE to restore their momentum. With a bit of creative reinvigoration, these talented performers can get back on track and become the stars they were meant to be.
