#4 Pushing new stars
Cedric Alexander, Ali, Chad Gable, Buddy Murphy.
It's an impressive list. All names that were on the bottom rung of the WWE ladder just one year ago and are now find themselves having one of the best runs of their respective careers.
Gable now finds himself in the finals of The King of The Ring tournament after a string of impressive wins, Ali not only bested Bryan in a tag team match but now appears to be getting an amazing push with vignettes and all. Even Murphy has scored a win over the former WWE champion Bryan.
Beyond just being big wins for all three Superstars, the move represents a huge change in the company's booking of young stars. It also shows that WWE is finally open to building young stars for the future, which should be one of the most promising changes that fans have seen in a while.
Maybe it doesn't last forever and maybe WWE will eventually go back to their old formula, but for now, the surprise wins are extremely fun to watch. It's also fun to see a future Superstar have their shining moment right in front of your very eyes and see what the company does from there.
