New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
While Paige became the youngest Divas Champion on her WWE debut, many other post-WrestleMania RAW debutants have even gone on to become legends and Hall of Famers in their own right.
With Wrestlemania being just around the corner, social media is abuzz with the possible debuts and the excitement is palpable on the new names that could be introduced to the main roster fans.
Here are 5 debuts that could happen after Wrestlemania.
Enzo Amore and Collin Cassady
The WWE’s tag team division is crying out for change as the fans are getting bored of the same old feuds. The tag team division needs some young blood, more aptly put, a charismatic new team to add the vigor back.
The New Day have held the Tag Team Championship titles for way too long it seems. Enzo Amore and Collin Cassady have got it all – talent, excellent in ring abilities and the microphone skills to keep the audience engaged.
NXT fans see Enzo Amore as a great worker on the microphone, with people even comparing him to the Road Dogg “Jesse James”, while in reality he’s much better. Plus, the entire WWE Universe got a glimpse of their talent at Roadblock, where they and The Revival showed that the tag team division's future is in good hands.
If given a debut, the two will surely steal the show the night after Wrestlemania. They might just forge a temporary alliance with the New Day, thus giving them the much needed numbers advantage against the League of Nations.
Enzo and Big Cass have immense potential and while they may not be the most technically gifted wrestlers in NXT, their aggression more than makes up for it in the ring. Whether they’ll be handed their big debuts or not remains to be seen, but it’s only a matter of time before they make a name for themselves in the WWE as part of the main roster.
Baron Corbin
Baron Corbin may not be one of the top guys at NXT unlike a few months ago, but Baron Corbin maybe WWE’s newest “big guy.” To his credit, though, he has beaten current WWE Superstars like Viktor and Fandango.
We’ve already seen that he can be a pretty good heel, and given his size, ability and aggression, he will easily carry it into the WWE’s main foray. Baron Corbin will face Austin Aries at NXT TakeOver: Dallas and it’s a fair prediction that the reputed wrestler will be put over
Baron Corbin may consequently make his move to the main roster and will announce his arrival by either attacking a current champion or a high-carder. Or they make him face cruiserweights whom he’ll steamroll past.
Bayley
You just can’t hate Bayley – she’s adorable and lovable. All sections of the WWE Universe adore her, but all of that goes up a notch once she gets into the ring. She’s the current NXT champion and has faced the faces of the Divas Revolution – Sasha Banks, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch en route to the top.
Bayley is one of the most talented female wrestlers in NXT and the night after Wrestlemania will be the perfect time for her to debut, as she could join the current Sasha-Charlotte-Becky feud and add a twist to it.
Bayley has shown that she’s not your cliched Diva, plus, she appeals to young girls.
Asuka might just beat Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Dallas and clinch the title, giving her the opportunity to make her move to the big stage. It’s about time talented wrestlers like Bayley got the respect and push they deserve.
Samoa Joe
WWE got its fans hot and excited when they announced that Samoa Joe will join NXT. Samoa Joe needs no introduction as his reputation precedes him. Even those who saw him for the first time at NXT were in awe of his in-ring abilities.
Should he lose to Finn Balor at NXT TakeOver, he should be given his debut on Raw. The top roster is riddled with injuries and WWE needs someone who can enter and make an instant impact.
That’s where Samoa Joe can deliver.
The “Samoan Submission Machine” as he is called, is capable of squaring off against almost any opponent and history is a testament to that fact. WWE fans have always wanted to see Samoa Joe inside a WWE ring and their wish might just be fulfilled on the night after Wrestlemania. Imagine how a Samoa Joe-Brock Lesnar feud would be. Pure insanity!
Finn Balor (maybe even Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson)
The current NXT Champion’s reign has been on for quite a while now and it doesn’t make sense for him to keep holding the title in the developmental division, where there is a host of young, hungry and talented wrestlers waiting to grab the prized title.
It would make a lot of sense for Finn Balor to make his debut on the night after Wrestlemania.
He’s had issues with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at NXT and his entry would only make the feud even more interesting. The Bullet Club’s leader may also be joined by his former teammates Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson – which will be reminiscent of the days of the Shield – something that the fans miss to the core.
Even as an individual entity, The Demon will make a huge impact, if given an opportunity. There’s no doubt when it comes to his wrestling skills as he has already set himself apart in that department.
The only problem, though, is that we haven’t seen him on the microphone a lot. But this shouldn’t be a problem as former Bullet Club leader’s persona and ability more than makeup for it.
If he drops the title, there’s no place but the main roster for him. He deserves it and the WWE needs him too.
