Could one or both of these wrestlers be headed to WWE in 2019?

#4: SHANE STRICKLAND/KILLSHOT

Shane Strickland has ties to new WWE signees Matt Riddle and Keith Lee.

With Lucha Underground wrapping up before the end of 2018, a lot of competitors will see their contracts come up.

Wrestling under the name Killshot for LU, Strickland has been on WWE's radar for a few years.

You can thank WWE/Triple H's relationship with Evolve for that.

Like a lot of the Lucha Underground wrestlers, he's a perfect blend of speed, striking and power moves.

He does tend to lean a little more to striking and high-flying, but he can pull off any style.

If you haven't seen him wrestle, look up his match with Dante Fox (AR Fox) called a 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' match. It's insane.

He's also been close to guys like Matt Riddle and Keith Lee, so he'd have connections to play off of already built in. Maybe pair him with or have him feud with one or both of those guys.

Evolve has often been the next step for guys like Riddle and Lee, so maybe Strickland is next in line.
