The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has just revealed five stars who are expected to receive a big push.
For the past several months, we’ve heard various names on the favorite Paul Heyman list, and while Cedric Alexander no longer seems to be a favorite with the Executive Director of RAW, expect to see Ricochet, Aleister Black, Charlotte Flair, Drew McIntyre, and Buddy Murphy as the focal point of the flagship brand.
Ricochet has been penned as a Heyman favorite for months now, despite losing to Andrade last night on RAW. The purpose of the Black/Murphy feud is to get both stars over, and if these two keep delivering fantastic matches going forward, then neither man should have no problems getting over with the crowd.
Flair and McIntyre seem to be in wheel spinning mode; however, both stars are being built up slowly to continue their momentum on the red brand. There’s no word on what the end game will be for these five talents.
While Flair will likely end up as the RAW Women’s Champion in 2020, could we see Ricochet, Murphy, Black or McIntyre challenge Lesnar for the WWE Championship sometime soon?
