5 WWE Superstars rumored to get a massive push following Clash of Champions

With Clash of Champions behind us, WWE will look to give us fresh stories and push new faces. While it is quite obvious that WWE is going to make The Fiend their star attraction going forward, let us take a look at 5 other Superstars who could be set to get a huge push as per backstage reports:

#5 Cedric Alexander

The former 205 Live Superstar has impressed everyone with his high flying moves and daredevil antics ever since he made his way to the main roster. After a rather rocky start to his main roster career, things quickly picked up for the former Cruiserweight Champion.

Alexander is currently feuding with one of the top Superstars in the company - AJ Styles - which is a major push in itself, but things are about to get even better for Cedric.

As per the latest WON, Paul Heyman is very high on the Superstar and wants to use the 'slow push' strategy in order to make Alexander one of the top stars on RAW.

Here is what Alexander had to say about his recent push while on the Busted Open podcast:

You know, honestly Mark? It’s scary. It’s one of those things that I thought never would happen, but now that it is it’s almost unbelievable. You know what I mean? To the point where — I try to describe how I feel about this, about being closer and closer to the top of WWE, and things like Madison Square Garden and sharing a beer with Stone Cold, and getting a win over AJ Styles. It’s — it’s almost like sensory overload, like everything is happening so fast. And to me, it just means that all of the hard work that I have done over the past 10 years doesn’t go in vain, you know?.”

While some reports suggest Vince McMahon isn't a big fan of Cedric, they have to be taken with a pinch of salt.

#4 Ali

Ali's main roster trajectory has been quite odd, to say the least, as he has been the recipient of 50-50 booking since his debut. It had been rumored that Ali was in line for a major push before he got injured and he hasn't quite been able to regain his momentum upon his return.

As per Fightful, Eric Bischoff, who is the Executive Director of SmackDown is very impressed with Ali.

Sapp says WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and SmackDown Executive Director Eric Bischoff both walked up to Ali backstage and congratulated him on the match, while Executive Vice President Kevin Dunn was also happy with the King of the Ring encounter.

#3 Elias

Ali is not the only Superstar that the SmackDown officials were impressed with following his match with Elias. The Drifter is reportedly popular with not only the other Superstars but also the management as he is "well-liked and easy to work with".

Currently out due to injury, a major push for the 4-time 24/7 Champion can be expected once he returns to the blue brand. Elias has the look and charisma of a top star and hopefully, he will be utilized much more efficiently upon his comeback.

#2 Baron Corbin

It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that WWE is high on Baron Corbin - the latest winner of the King of the Ring tournament. The former US Champion became the 2019 King of the Ring by defeating Chad Gable in the finals.

It had been reported that the WWE officials were keen on Baron Corbin and he was picked to win the tournament well in advance. With the reign of King Corbin set to begin, we can expect major things for the future of The Lonewolf.

#1 Robert Roode

Robert Roode won the RAW Tag Team Championship along with Dolph Ziggler at Clash of Champions. However, unlike his last reign as Tag Team Champion with Chad Gable, this one will actually see Roode regain relevancy in WWE.

As per the latest WOR, dave Meltzer stated that WWE is trying to 'rehab' Roode's career which means that big things could be in store for the Glorious One.

Well, I think that the whole idea is that they are trying to rehab Roode. You could see out of all those guys they were trying to protect him. Now why you would have him be in that position were Strowman beats up the whole Tag team division for Roode to get rehabbed, I don’t know."
