10 Wrestlers who will rule the WWE for the rest of 2019
At this point last year, Brock Lesnar was the Universal Champion and AJ Styles was in the middle of his second run as WWE Champion. Charlotte Flair had just lost the SmackDown Women's Championship to a Carmella cash-in and Nia Jax triumphed over mean girl Alexa Bliss in order to represent Raw as its Women's Champion.
Things have greatly changed since then as Lesnar is currently on one of his many hiatuses during the year while Becky Lynch holds both titles for the ladies. Kofi Kingston finally reached the top of the company after 11 hard years. Seth Rollins slayed 'the Beast' that was holding the Universal Championship hostage in its cave since late 2018 and most of the year prior.
Several new superstars have joined the main roster from Ricochet to Aleister Black to Lacey Evans. How far each of those new and unique superstars will go is up in the air, but a few things can be seen from their booking after WrestleMania. Black is getting weekly vignettes on SmackDown that further explore his character while Evans is the first lady to face Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship at a PPV.
Since a lot will obviously change in the WWE between now and the end of the year, several superstars who are atop the WWE might not be sitting as pretty once December rolls around. Some will still continue their strangleholds atop the WWE. Not everyone receives the same amount of pushes in the WWE, so here are 10 superstars that will rule the WWE for the rest of 2019.
#10 The Usos
Raw desperately needed a veteran tag team from SmackDown that could help anchor the division, and they got exactly that in The Usos. A division that was reliant on novelty acts (B-Team, Deleters of Worlds) and makeshift teams (Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler) for most of 2018 now had the respected duo of the Usos.
Things haven't started out the best in terms of storylines for the Usos as Raw has had them humiliate the Revival with various sophomoric tricks. I'm sure creeping on them in the shower and applying special cream to their wrestling tights wasn't something they thought they'd be doing. Although those segments are meant to paint the Revival in bad light, it actually makes The Usos look kind of like immature high-school bullies.
But the current direction for the brothers will end soon and they will be thrust into the Raw Tag Team title picture. It appears that the Viking Raiders are destined for a collision course with Ryder and Hawkins, so the Usos will likely battle the former War Raiders at some point for the belts. Even if it's in the Fall, expect the Usos to be heavily featured on Raw for most of the year.
