WWE It is an ever-evolving pro wrestling promotion, and it could potentially lead today’s star to become the legend of tomorrow or simply into oblivion. In this article, we will look at the future of our company, predicting five years from now.

Thanks to his talent, charisma and connections with his audience, we’ll be looking at the five wrestlers who will dominate the spotlight in 2030, and five wrestlers who will probably not be part of WWE for a variety of reasons. We mainly focus on young stars and wrestlers who are not thriving despite their talent. Where will they be in five years?

a combination of charisma, athletic agility and microphone skills are destined to become one of WWE’s top stars in 2030. Now 30 years ago, he has already proven with NXT and has the ability to steal shows on the main roster.

His magnetic confidence and ability to connect with the crowd position him as the future champion. With five years, exposure in the main event increases and proper booking, Carmelo Hayes should not only thrive, but be one of the most popular wrestlers in the company.

Despite his undeniable talent in the ring, he will not be part of WWE in 2030. The Mexican wrestler shows a flash of greatness, but his career in the company is characterized by inconsistent creative management and limited opportunities.

Even in AEW, he can’t live up to expectations and no one really seems to know how to use him. It’s a shame that such a talented ring wrestler will not thrive due to his lack of character.

Ilja Dragunov has the strength of his viscerality and the ability to tell epic stories in the ring, and will not only thrive in WWE in 2030, but will also establish himself as one of the best in-ring performers in the world.

At 31, the Russian has demonstrated a unique style that combines the strength, agility and unlimited passion of the wild te, and has earned the fans’ respect for his memorable matches. His ability to enhance his opponents and his intention to put his body and soul in every match position him as the future world champion.

Candice Lerae is extremely talented and is actually considered one of the best technical wrestlers on the roster. Lerae has shined in the ring many times, especially with NXT, but has been unable to establish himself in a major role in the main roster, often relegated to a secondary storyline or support role.

Her age, a lack of important creative motivation, coupled with a steady influx of new talent and WWE prioritization of more prominent characters, shows that she will be out of the company in the near future.

There is insane athletic ability, natural charisma, and many untapped possibilities. It makes us believe that in five years, she will be uniting herself as one of the top stars in the women’s division. Now, she is 25 years old and stands out on NXT with her dynamic style that allows her to perform epic operations and connect with the audience.

Her youth, versatility and ability to adapt to various roles in the ring position her as the future champion. Five years later, with the continued development of storytelling and main roster, Sol Ruca will become one of the leaders of WWE’s women’s division.

Santos Escobar may not be in WWE by 2030 due to several factors. His role on the main roster is inconsistent and he still has no definitive moments. He couldn’t really connect with the audience as heels and as a babyface.

Though this may not be entirely his fault, as he is not properly booked and has no interesting storyline yet. At 41, Santos Escobar faces strong competition from young talent, putting his continuity in WWE at stake.

There are all the tools to thrive in WWE by 2030. Theories with physique, excellent athleticism and charisma that have evolved since his main roster debut could become a key player on the main roster.

Certainly, Triple H took away all the momentum Vince McMahon gave him, but he’s still young and extremely talented. If WWE continues to invest in his development and gives him a famous rivalry and headline opportunity, Austin Theory can establish himself as a top star and lead the main roster.

Zoey Stark had a rough passageway on the main roster. Despite attempts to position her as a threat, despite her alliance with Trish Stratos, Stark didn’t have the necessary consistency to get over her with her fans.

And now, that will complicate her promotion even more. It is a combination of misfortune and lack of personality, which will ultimately lead to her departure from the company.

By 2030 it will be positioned to be one of the main faces of WWE’s women’s division. She only needed a few months at NXT to love herself to WWE fans.

Vaquer combines magnetic presence with skills in the ring to make her stand out. Her ability to connect with fans, especially Latin audiences, gives them unique charm with an increasingly diverse roster. Vaquer could lead the women’s division as a champion and global figure by 2030.

He was extremely charismatic and gave his name on NXT. However, her repeated injuries slowed her momentum. She’s not good at cutting promotions in terms of skills in the ring. And the competition is fierce as WWE’s women’s division is better than ever.

Currently, NXT has some wrestlers who are far better than the Lion, and there are even more. Unfortunately, all this takes her out of WWE.
