5 WWE stars Triple H needs to push following Bad Blood
WWE Bad Blood is now in the rearview mirror. The show was fantastic and featured four major returns, but as is always the case with the Sports Entertainment juggernaut, the show must go on and there is no time to reminisce.
Since the big Premium Live Event aired this past Saturday, both Monday Night RAW and NXT have already taken place. These shows featured big title matches, a championship changing hands, and even the debut of Stephanie Vaquer.
Notably, some performers are set to take time off now that the Atlanta PLE is over. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre are both likely healing up, and even Damian Priest didn't appear on this week's Monday Night RAW. In the wake of the potential absence of several stars and with a new 'season' of sorts until Crown Jewel, it is time to push other talents.
This article will take a look at five performers who need and are ready for a push. This includes a performer who isn't highlighted on RAW or SmackDown at all right now, a comedic tag team, and a brilliant high flyer.
Below are five WWE stars Triple H needs to push following Bad Blood:
#5. Zelina Vega is ready for the next step
Zelina Vega is an extremely talented performer who has had some success in the company. She is a former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion alongside Carmella and a former Queen of the Ring.
Currently, the LWO member is doing a few things, albeit not much for fans to get invested in. The former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion has been feuding with the Pure Fusion Collective.
While Vega is currently involved in an angle, she is far too talented to languish in the mid-card and is ready for the next step. She should be pushed to the main event scene of the women's division and routinely work with Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, and IYO SKY. Hopefully, the Triple H-led creative team will start pushing her in the next few months.
#4. Dragon Lee should be a bigger star on RAW
Speaking of the Latino World Order, another member of the WWE faction is Dragon Lee. The talented Mexican performer signed with the company in December 2022 and quickly found success in NXT, even winning the North American Championship.
Despite initially showing a lot of promise on the main roster, Dragon Lee's push has stalled. While he's been back on television lately, the high flyer hasn't had a proper push on WWE RAW. Now is the time to change that.
The Game should push the Latino World Order star, at least to the Intercontinental Championship picture. Lee working with the likes of Jey Uso, Ludwig Kaiser, Sami Zayn, and Bron Breakker would help to get him to the next level.
#3. Tegan Nox needs to be used by WWE
One WWE star who desperately deserves and needs a push is Tegan Nox. The Girl with The Shiniest Wizard has had a very up-and-down run in the company, and unfortunately, it has seemingly been more down than up.
Despite her talent, Tegan has faced setback after setback. The Welsh star had several big injuries while down on WWE NXT. Once she was called up to the main roster, Vince McMahon quickly fired her after not using Nox for months.
Once Triple H took over the creative direction of the company, Tegan was brought back into the fold. While she's had direction off and on, Nox has been away from television since April 2024. That needs to change now that Bad Blood is over. Perhaps she could join Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell on SmackDown?
#2. Kit Wilson & #1. Elton Prince, Pretty Deadly are very talented
Speaking of SmackDown, the WWE brand hosts several exciting tag teams. The likes of #DIY, the Street Profits, and A-Town Under are some of the best duos in the world. The brand's roster also consists of the very underrated Pretty Deadly tag team.
Kit Wilson and Elton Prince are phenomenal performers. Not only can the two deliver the goods in the ring, but they have great comedic timing and can talk on the microphone. In many ways, they're perfect for WWE television.
Unfortunately, their comedic persona may have led to fans not taking them seriously as a tag team. Now, Triple H should focus on making the two credible again. They are too talented to just be jokes or glorified jobbers. Combining their comic timing with quality matches and serious feuds is a recipe for success.
