With changes always happening in WWE, there may be even more character shifts set for the near future as some could be totally repackaged.
From returning stars that could bring experience from outside WWE to the main roster to a longstanding fan favorite that needs a new storylines — there are some intriguing names that could be considered for a character refresh.
Here are six more WWE stars that could be repackaged soon.
6. Omos
One of the WWE stars on the list that could actually already see their character shift underway, Omos hasn’t been seen on WWE TV in well over a year.
That hasn’t stopped him however from making a big impact in another WWE owned promotion, AAA.
Omos made a surprise return at their Guerra de Titanes event on December 21 where he aligned with El Hijo del Vikingo and joined the new “El Ojo” heel faction.
Certainly seemingly set for a monster re-boot, it could be very fun to see Omos bring his AAA antics back to the main roster in the future.

5. Lola Vice
An NXT star that has also had an impressive set of appearances in AAA is Lola Vice.
While she wouldn’t necessarily need a ton of changes to her presentation, there could be a way to utuilize AAA as a space to workshop something a little bit different.
Already certainly showcasing her background in combat sports, Vice could elect to incorporate something else into her character to bring fans in on the action.
With the addition of some sort of interactive fan element whether it is a new entrance theme, costuming or getting fans in on her signature dance moves — Lola Vice is certainly already a star waiting for her next big break.

4. Nattie Neidhart
Another shift that could be already in motion is Natalya to Nattie Neidhart.
With her Lowkey Legend persona potentially becoming an official WWE character in the near future, it could be an amazing split for the longtime star.
Able to bring her tenacity and violent nature to the ring from her indie appearances and recent training vignette with Maxxine Dupri, Nattie would bring a brand new element of intensity to the women’s division.
Potentially striking up her own faction of those forged by the Dungeon, Nattie has a whole new chapter ahead of her in WWE.

3. Santos Escobar
One intriguing story that went on behind the scenes in WWE this year surrounding Santos Escobar and his contract status. Escobar saw his WWE contract expire in October without having signed a new one, sending him into a very brief period of free agency.
It would go on to be confirmed shortly thereafter that Escobar had re-signed with WWE but he has yet to return to on-screen action.
With reports that the star was set to be totally repackaged upon his return, fans have been looking forward to seeing what WWE has in store for Escobar.
While he has yet to return, perhaps he is being reserved for a surprise entry into the Royal Rumble 2026 with a brand new (possibly masked) identity.

2. Angel & Berto
During their final months on NXT, Angel and Berto had seemingly found momentum by leaning into their real life ‘why’ for wrestling.
With a series of vignettes that alluded to the duo being visited in their dreams by family members with connections to wrestling, perhaps a gimmick could be on the horizon.
If AAA were to bring back the Los Perros del Mal stable (that included Angel’s uncle Hector Garza as a member), there could be a brand new frightening force in the promotion.
Back in November after a frustrating loss, the pair got a knock on their locker room door only to find a box with a mysterious black t-shirt inside. While the imagery on the front wasn’t revealed to the audience, it could be that the mystery will end up factoring into the duo’s 2026 plans in a big way.

1. Otis
It has been quite awhile since Otis has a substantive storyline in WWE — something that could definitely change in 2026.
Able to serve as his own faction leader, perhaps Otis could serve as main roster mentor to Hank Walker and Tank Ledger from NXT.
Creating their own Blue Collar Brawlers faction, the group could resonate with fans who identify with their every day man attitudes and physiques as well as tell some heartwarming stories.
While Otis’ partnership with Akira Tozawa and Maxxine Dupri has been fun, it has grown relatively stale — sending each member in their own direction could prove to be the best for all involved.
