WWE RAW: 5 WWE Superstars who desperately need to join Zelina Vega's new stable right away

The Maharaja could be a valuable addition to Vega's stable

If you look at the amount of screen time that she's been given at the moment, it is pretty impossible to deny that WWE has put a lot of stock and faith in Zelina Vega. And why wouldn't they, because at a time when managers aren't exactly commonplace, she's doing a fabulous job as one.

And so, now she leads a faction of really talented individuals, namely Andrade, Austin Theory, and Angel Garza. But the five individuals that I will name could do well to join the pack as well.

Of course, this is just my opinion and so if you feel that the persons I've mentioned would do better outside of a faction environment, be sure to let me know in the comments section below.


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5 Humberto Carillo

Humberto Carillo just seems like one of those individuals who has every tool to make it as a top-tier WWE Superstar but there is something in him that's missing, that is holding him back. He was positioned to be the next breakout Latino Superstar once upon a time, but the WWE Universe did not get behind him in the same manner that WWE Creative assumed they would. So, maybe, he was never really meant to be a babyface and tapping into his heel side is the way to go for this extremely talented man.

But I know for a fact that Humberto Carillo will flourish when he's in a stable, aligned with the likes of Andrade. The two men have been at odds in the past but we have seen way too many men feuding with one another putting their differences aside to work towards the greater good. We only need to look at Cesaro and Sheamus as an example of the same.

#4 Murphy

The problem with Buddy Murphy was always going to be that when he is not Seth Rollins' right-hand man, he is just another sports entertainer. And yes, he is a very good professional wrestler, but as we have seen in the past, that is not enough to make it in WWE.

Now that Seth Rollins is doing his own thing with Drew McIntyre, I have a feeling that Murphy will once again be relegated to the lower end of the card unless something drastic was to happen to him. And this could happen thanks to Zelina Vega who has made it a point to align herself with the most talented individuals in the WWE roster.

I can totally imagine Murphy and Garza as a heel tag team that goes after the Street Profits and actually have some excellent matches at par with the SmackDown Tag Team Division because of how good every individual in the program would potentially be. When the spotlight shines on him, Murphy is one of the best in between the ropes, in my personal opinion at least.

#3 Akam

While I have no doubt at all that Akam is a very talented individual who could fare very well on his own, if he is given the chance, the fact is that he has always been portrayed as a tag team wrestler thus far. And with his partner on the shelf, I do fear that he could potentially become redundant.

We have seen that he can be an invaluable member of a stable, and so the former Authors of Pain member could join up with Zelina Vega and become a part of her collective, in my opinion. This would be a huge step up for him because it would be the first step he would have stepped out of the comfort zone of the role he's been cast in thus far, allowing him to truly flex his muscles.

I just think that there is a powerhouse waiting in the wings, waiting to be unleashed upon the world and I think that Zelina Vega could be the Paul Heyman to this Brock Lesnar if booked in the right manner.

#2 Riddick Moss

Riddick Moss came to RAW with much fanfare and even scored a win against Ricochet not very long ago. It did seem like a jetpack would be strapped to his back and he would be launched all the way to the moon. Unfortunately, this was not to be and it turns out that he has been relegated to the background once again, for reasons unknown.

Moss can definitely join the group that we've been talking about and be elevated because of his association with Zelina Vega and the United States Champion, Andrade. In time, he could also betray Andrade and that could allow him and the US Champion to script a very heated feud of their own. Anything beats sitting in the back when WWE Creative has no plans for you because you are one step away from being forgotten.

Yes, he could always go back to the 24/7 Championship picture but we all saw how that was the end of the line for EC3, Eric Young, and so many others before him.

#1 Jinder Mahal

If you have an hour to spare during the day, be sure to subscribe and check out the weekly Sportskeeda podcast featuring none other than wrestling expert Tom Colohue, hosted by Korey Gunz. While they discuss a whole variety of topics every week, this week, a hot topic was the 'Zelina Vega' push, and you can hear them chat about it by clicking on the link shared above.

Now, we know that Jinder Mahal is ready to go and he has been healed following his unfortunate injury, as per current reports. The only issue with the whole situation at hand is that WWE doesn't have a role to bring him back in, especially if he's not going to be aligned with the Singh Brothers, going forward.

Jinder Mahal could be a very valuable addition to Zelina Vega's stable and would, in fact, fit in like a glove, in my opinion. In a faction comprised mainly of athletic individuals, he could be the powerhouse of the faction.

This is exactly what The Modern Day Maharaja needs, I believe.
