5 Most Impactful WWE Managers of 2021

#4 WWE Manager, the ravishing Scarlett

To understand the impact Scarlett had on WWE's NXT superstar Karrion Kross, just look at his success when the pair disbanded. Part of Kross' appeal was the entrance he shared with Scarlett and their overall look. Once separated, Kross never took off on WWE's main roster.

Scarlett's success as a manager wasn't with her words but with her look. She and Karrion developed an iconic entrance theme that separated them from other duos. Like the lovely Elizabeth in 1980s, Scarlett just had to step into a WWE arena to make an impact. Her gothic look combined with her beauty captured the attention of fans.

It would not be surprising to see the WWE return to this duo somewhere down the line.

#3 WWE Manager, the Grappling Guru: Chad Gable

WWE brass realized that the loveable trucker image of Otis was starting to run its course. How far could he really go as a novelty act, a big man that could move but did so in a comical way. WWE decided to pair Otis with Chad Gable and the Otis character evolved. He is now a feared big man with a temper and violent intentions. All with the help of a manager.

In many ways, Gable needed Otis as much as Otis needed Gable. Gable desperately needed to get out of the Shorty G gimmick he was saddled with in WWE and teaming up with Otis was a perfect fit. Gable brought out the toughness and anger in Otis that was rarely present in his former role. Otis is no longer loveable but feared inside the ring.

The next step for the Otis character may be a title run. Otis could combine with Gable to win tag team gold or win a midcard belt like the WWE Intercontinental Title. In either case, Gable could be the catalyst for all of Owen's feuds. Eventually, if Otis were to turn face, Gable would be the perfect foil for him.

WWE should consider pairing Gable with another superstar who has the ability but needs someone to do the mic work for them. Ricochet immediately comes to mind. He could fit right into Gable’s team and greatly benefit from Gable’s mic skills while showing off his own incredible athleticism.
