WWE is making a significant change in its broadcasting partnership by moving all its programming to Netflix starting in January. The deal, worth five billion dollars, will usher in a new era for the company. With this transition, several WWE superstars have the potential to thrive and make a name for themselves. Here are five WWE superstars who could find significant success in the Netflix era.
Coming in at number five is two-time NXT Champion Karrion Kross. Before joining WWE, Kross was a prominent free agent in professional wrestling, making a name for himself in Lucha Underground and various independent promotions. Kross’s NXT debut in 2020 was impressive, but his WWE stint has yet to meet expectations. The Netflix era could offer Kross new opportunities to shine and reach the spotlight he deserves.
At number four is current WWE Tag Team Champion Austin Theory. Despite his young age, Theory has shown immense potential and dedication to making an impact. Under Vince McMahon’s guidance, he briefly flourished as Mr. McMahon’s protégé. With a promising tag team run with Grayson Waller, Austin Theory could make another singles run, possibly for a major title.
In the third spot is former SmackDown Tag Team Champion Dominik Mysterio. Known for his “nuclear heat” and infamous heel-turn, Dominik was once a beloved superstar. With pro wrestling deeply rooted in his life, he will likely reach the top during the Netflix era.
At number two is former NXT North American Champion Solo Sikoa, currently leading The Bloodline. Sikoa has played a significant role in The Bloodline’s success, which has impacted the pro wrestling terrain. With Roman Reigns’ return imminent, Solo’s path may change, potentially leading to new creative opportunities.
Finally, at number one, is second-generation superstar and 2-time NXT Champion Bron Breakker. Breakker, who carries on the legacy of his father Rick Steiner and the Steiner Brothers, could be in line for a significant push as the Netflix era begins.
These five WWE superstars are poised for success in WWE’s new era on Netflix. With new opportunities and creative storylines, these talented individuals are set to make their mark in professional wrestling.
