The year 2020 has been an unexpected one for everyone, and that includes WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon. With the world being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, WWE was also massively affected by it as they had to shift all the weekly shows and PPVs to the WWE Performance Center without fans.
Recently, an investor meeting was held where Vince McMahon addressed the declining ratings of Monday Night RAW and mentioned that WWE is looking to build and push new Superstars. Without any doubt, the WWE roster consists of several exceptional talents who can be highly successful if given a chance to prove themselves.
Let's take a look at the seven WWE Superstars that Vince McMahon is looking to push currently. Be sure to comment down and let us know your opinion on the same.

#7 Asuka
The 2020 Miss Money in the Bank, Asuka has had a relatively successful year so far. After winning the MITB match, she was crowned the new RAW Women's Champion on the next night as Becky Lynch announced her pregnancy and stepped-away for the time being.
Asuka is being considered to be the next big female Superstar for Monday Night RAW during the absence of The Man and Vince McMahon believes in her a lot.
Also, former Executive Director of Monday Night RAW, Paul Heyman was very high on Asuka.

With the departure of Paul Heyman from the position of the Executive Director of the Red brand of WWE, there were many speculations on what it would mean for the push of Asuka? Thankfully, according to a recent report, Vince McMahon is still high on the former NXT Women's Champion.
“He [Vince] is still high on Asuka, she won’t be hurt with Heyman gone”.
Asuka recently dropped her RAW Women's Championship to Sasha Banks. But she is all set to challenge both Bayley and Sasha Banks for their SmackDown and RAW Women's Championship respectively at WWE SummerSlam. Will she come out as a double champion? We'll have to wait and watch!
#6 Otis
One of the biggest shockers in WWE in 2020 was arguably Otis becoming Mr. Money in the Bank. Nothing to take away from Otis, who has been highly entertaining during the pandemic era of WWE, but no one expected Vince McMahon to hand him the briefcase.

According to a recent report by Fightful Select, Vince McMahon is the one behind the massive push of Otis, including his MITB victory and pairing with Mandy Rose. Otis is said to be a "total Vince McMahon project" and the WWE Chairman really seems to like him.
Otis hasn't had a prominent role to play in WWE Programming recently, even after being Mr. Money in the Bank. Part of the reason has been the highly intense feud between Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship. It is highly unlikely that WWE would want Otis to cash-in against someone like The Fiend.
It is to be seen when and on whom does Otis cash in his Money in the Bank contract. Only then can we decide whether it was a good idea to make him Mr. MITB or not.
#5 Shayna Baszler
Shayna Baszler is one of the most dominating female WWE Superstars that the company has ever since. The former NXT Women's Champion was looking all set to capture the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36, but somehow Vince McMahon decided to let Becky Lynch retain.
A couple of months ago, there were reports that Vince McMahon has "soured" on Shayna Baszler. With the Queen of Spades missing from TV, the rumors appeared to be true. Thankfully, that was not the case as Basler returned and is looking to claim her spot at the top of the women's division of RAW.

Shayna Baszler is reportedly set for a reignited push from Vince McMahon. The last few weeks have seen her in a feud against Nia Jax. We also saw the Queen Of Spades dominating her opponents in RAW Underground.
On the recent episode of Monday Night RAW, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir debuted on RAW. It is to be seen if WWE plans to use the trio as a new faction on RAW.
#4 Peyton Royce
One-half of former WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, The IIconics, Peyton Royce has impressed everyone with her in-ring skills and her heel character work. As per the recent reports, Vince McMahon considers her to be a future star for the WWE's women's division.
It should be noted that Peyton Royce has previously competed for the NXT Women's Championship on multiple occasions. If Vince McMahon decides to give her a push, that might lead to a break-up between Royce and her tag-team partner, Billie Kay.
#3 Bianca Belair
Another WWE Superstar who Vince McMahon is very impressed with and considers to be a future star for WWE's women's division is Bianca Belair. The EST of WWE had an amazing showing at the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble Match, where she eliminated eight other women.
After WrestleMania 36, she is officially now a member of Monday Night RAW and is currently involved in the feud between The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins) and Andrade and Angel Garza, with Zelina Vega.
WWE Universe surely considers Belair to be a future women's champion in WWE and it is to be seen whether Vince McMahon puts the title on her.
#2 Brendan Vink
Arguably the least "popular" name on this list of WWE Superstars that Vince McMahon is looking to push is that of Brendan Vink. The NXT Superstar made his Monday Night RAW debut alongside Shane Thorne in March 2020. The two even became associates of MVP and defeated the team of Cedric Alexander and Ricochet on RAW, but then suddenly disappeared.
Reports suggest that Vince McMahon really likes him because of his looks and physique. Vink looks good on camera and is also considered to be well-spoken. As of now, Vink has been away from TV for sometime now and his partner has made the journey back to NXT.
#1 Big E
Considered to be one of the most underrated Superstars on the current WWE roster, Big E has "money" written all over him if given a proper push. WWE Universe loves him, and he is absolutely amazing inside the ring.
Recently, with Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston being sidelined by injury, Big E is on a singles run. Fans are expecting Vince McMahon to push him as a top singles Superstar and Big E himself revealed that there is a big plan behind his current run and push.
There have been several speculations of Big E soon challenging AJ Styles for his WWE Intercontinental Championship and I believe it would be a great way to establish him as a singles star. Will Vince McMahon finally pull the trigger on a massive Big E singles run? Guess we will have to wait and watch.
