Now that WWE WrestleMania 41 has come and gone, there is a new season of WWE storylines beginning under the direction of Triple H.
With the reset button being hit on WWE’s creative in a way, we could soon see new and old faces receive renewed attention on television.
Here are six WWE stars that could be pushed by Triple H.
6. Bayley
After she was seemingly dropped in favor of the returning Becky Lynch – fans wondered whether Bayley was always planned to lose her WrestleMania spot to The Man.
While there are perhaps reveals yet to come – including Becky’s involvement in Bayley’s backstage ‘attack’ – Bayley should be able to do something of substance following her WrestleMania 41 absence.
With the WWE Draft 2025 coming up, Triple H has an opportunity to reorganize the brands – and putting Bayley and Roxanne Perez on the same show would be a great idea for both of them.
Perhaps able to work together behind the scenes more effectively, the pair could tell a similar generation vs. generation storyline as Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton – perhaps without the messy bits.

5. Drew McIntyre
There seems to be big things on the horizon for Drew McIntyre in WWE in the coming year.
After proving himself consistently excellent throughout the past year, he seems on the cusp of having a really iconic run – but it is unclear where that might take place.
Since McIntyre has alluded in the past to having similar disdain for John Cena as he does for CM Punk – perhaps that spicy pairing will occur before Cena hangs up his wrestling boots.
Alternatively, McIntyre would fit in well with Seth Rollins’ growing faction of disgruntled gentlemen on WWE Raw with Paul Heyman and now Bron Breakker.

4. Karrion Kross
After missing out on WrestleMania 41 – albeit making a brief on-screen appearance during AJ Styles match against Logan Paul – Karrion Kross went on an on-screen rant on the WrestleMania Recap show with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant.
While it blurred the lines between fiction and reality, it did seem to set the stage for a future push on WWE TV for Karrion Kross, with a big fan push now behind the Las Vegas native.
While the rest of his Final Testament faction (Paul Ellering and the Authors of Pain) were released from WWE, Kross and Scarlett has remained on-screen character that are seemingly always on the verge of doing something bigger.
With a swell of recent fan support, perhaps the buzz around Karrion Kross will finally propel him forward into a compelling storyline. Perhaps even against a returning WWE star…

3. Aleister Black
Since it has been teased that Aleister Black will return on the SmackDown after WrestleMania, it stands to reason that his debut will lead to something bigger.
Fans are anxiously awaiting the return of Aleister Black after having spent the last several years in AEW under the name, Malakai Black.
Now that he is planned to return to WWE, it would be great to see him do something really big – without a lot of hesitation after his re-debut.
Facing off against Karrion Kross could be a perfect way for both stars to engage in an interesting main roster story now that Triple H is in control of creative, or alternatively Black can target one of WWE’s top stars such as Cody Rhodes in an attempt to immediately establish himself as a force on the main roster.

2. Stephanie Vaquer
After making her main roster debut on the WWE Raw after WrestleMania, it hasn’t been officially confirmed that Stephanie Vaquer was called up to the main roster.
While she remains the NXT Women’s Champion, it doesn’t mean that she couldn’t feature across brands for a time, especially in light of the announcement that WWE has acquired Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.
A natural choice for the AAA x NXT show Worlds Collide on June 7, Vaquer may be pulling double duty for a bit. By the time she makes her way to the main roster full-time, she has intriguing feuds lined up with veterans already.
Particularly interesting would be a showdown between the Chilean star and Charlotte Flair after the latter seemingly used Vaquer’s signature move the Devil’s Kiss at WrestleMania 41.

1. Naomi
After Naomi was revealed to have been behind the attack on Jade Cargill, her character shift has become remarkable.
With a new look, new music and absolutely a new darker attitude, her entire character transformation has been iconic.
Naomi should definitely win the Money in the Bank match in 2025 and spend the entire year among the top of the card in the WWE women’s division.
While it remains to be seen if Bianca Belair will also turn heel, either way – Naomi still deserves a chance to show exactly how amazing she is.
