Thoughts on Liv Morgan:

"Liv Morgan, for me, has always had all the makings of a star - but without the push. Going to the most extreme measure, Stone Cold wasn’t Stone Cold when he was The Ringmaster. Liv Morgan has found herself. Since returning to television, while the storylines haven’t been mind-blowing, her performances have been. Only losing to Asuka - which there is no shame in at all - has showcased Morgan as the star she could be, and the star I hope she can become. The underdog of The Riott Squad, Morgan has all the ingredients to be a recipe for success."

Thoughts on Sonya Deville:

"Sonya Deville has always seemed legitimate in the ring. While her cameo with Ronda Rousey was short-lived, the eagle-eyed could tell there was something much more grand happening in the background. Sonya Deville has always been a star, but EVERYONE realized it this past week on SmackDown.

"A legit MMA fighter, an LGBT hero, and someone with the look, the promo skills, and the in-ring prowess, Deville is going to explode onto everyone’s screen before the end of 2020."

Gary likes both Liv and Sonya but can't take his eyes off a rising star in NXT:

"Before the end of the year, one person who I think will surprise EVERYONE is Shotzi Blackheart. While we may be restricted to NXT appearances for the green-haired dynamo, she’s most definitely one to watch. For me, the most exciting entrance in wrestling, one of the most energetic performers and a complete enigma, Blackheart is one to watch!

"If you tell me to watch the main roster, Morgan and Deville ARE my two picks, but looking further afield, Shotzi is someone I can’t keep my eyes off of - from the second we see the tank, to the green-haired goddess making her mark in the ring. Shotzi will make her mark in 2020, and is a ready-made WWE Superstar."
