3 huge names who could feature in WWE next year

After John Cena who was the poster boy of WWE for over a decade transitioned himself into a part-timer, WWE pushed Roman Reigns as the top babyface of the company.

However, the recent departure of 'The Big Dog' due to his illness has left WWE reeling. It would not be wrong to say that at this point in time, WWE is lacking a legitimate icon, a megastar who can draw people.

The lack of a legit draw in the WWE, plus a few controversial creative decisions have caused a major dip in viewership and merchandise sale.

Braun Strowman, the 'next big thing' after Roman, being squashed at the hands of 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel has led to an outcry on social media, and his recent feud with Constable Baron Corbin has led to fans referring to him as damaged goods.

Thus, given the lack of top draw superstars, WWE may be looking to have a few big names on board for the upcoming year.

So without further ado, lets look at 3 huge names who could feature in WWE next year.

#3 Pentagon Jr.

Pentagon Jr. is a well known name in the pro wrestling business

Rumours and speculations of WWE signing Pentagon Jr. and his brother, Rey Fenix, made the rounds all over the internet until the masked magician cleared the air, stating that he was not going anywhere, ended all the speculation.

However, his contract with PCW Ultra is going to expire next year. Thus, WWE would be keen on having him on board.

Pentagon Jr. has been an exciting Mexican superstar who also featured in an epic clash against Kenny Omega at All In earlier this year. The Luchador is one of the hottest prospects on the independent circuit. Thus WWE having him onboard would certainly boost their brand value.

#2 Kenny Omega

Kenny Omega is a huge name in the pro wrestling business

Kenny Omega is a living legend of the pro wrestling business. With his charismatic personality and extraordinary skills, he has the reputation of spellbinding the audience.

Given his contract with NJPW is going to expire anytime during January next year, WWE has a golden opportunity to have him onboard around Royal Rumble 2019. And who knows, Kenny Omega making his WWE debut as the last entrant in the Royal Rumble next year is 'best for business'.

Kenny 'The Cleaner' Omega has produced some blockbuster matches on many independent stages. He is a living legend of pro wrestling, and recently wished Roman all the luck in his battle against leukemia on Twitter.

The fact that John Cena teased Omega's potential WWE debut in a tweet, goes to show that it may not be long before we see this megastar in a WWE ring.

#1 Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor recently lost a UFC match against Khabib at UFC 229

In the past, Conor McGregor has been quite vocal about WWE and its superstars, especially John Cena, and has hinted a potential career in WWE on several occasions. In fact Triple H, the COO of the WWE, has gone on admit that the company has been keen on signing McGregor for quite some time.

The Notorious One retiring from UFC and signing a contract with WWE in the near future looks unlikely. However, given how he always says 'It's all business', WWE could have him onboard as a guest host at WrestleMania 35 for a huge paycheck.

Given the recent rumours of WWE planning to have Charlotte Flair vs Ronda Rousey as the main event of WrestleMania 35 after Roman's departure, plus Triple H doubtful for his rumoured match against Batista, McGregor's inclusion as the guest host would not only increase the brand value, but would also eliminate any possibility of low attendance.
