As exciting as WrestleMania season always is, there is also great intrigue as to what the WWE landscape will look like after the event comes to a close.
From potential new title holders, to brand new additions to the main roster, there are plenty of deserving WWE stars who could be set for a big push in 2025.
Here are nine WWE stars to receive a push after WrestleMania 41.
9. Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu has been a standout star since his debut in WWE as a member of The Bloodline in mid 2024.
Seemingly poised for a shot at the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 41 against LA Knight, it would not be shocking if he were able to win his first single’s title in WWE at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
While he is still technically rolling with Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga, it certainly looks like their time as a trio may be wrapping up.
It remains unclear if Fatu will forge his own solo path, or if Tama Tonga (and/or Tonga Loa!) will join him in a new faction under his leadership. Either way expect Fatu to have a big 2025.

8. New Catch Republic
Tyler Bate is back! Making his return on the March 31 edition of WWE Raw, Bate rejoined Pete Dunne as the New Catch Republic was back in action.
While the duo lost in their return match in London against the New Day, Triple H will likely have bigger things in store for them after The Show of Shows, especially if Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston walk out of Las Vegas with World Tag Title gold.
With the two stars seemingly not totally back on the same page, based on their post match interview, perhaps WWE could pit them both against one another instead.
Whatever the case, Triple H has long been a fan of Bate and Dunne so expect them to continue to feature on Raw in the weeks and months that follow WrestleMania.

7. Karrion Kross
Karrion Kross continues to prove himself to be a master manipulator, involving himself in several WWE Raw storylines – seemingly just to cause discord.
However, it certainly feels like his character shift is on the verge of a major change that could also come with a big push.
With Karrion Kross continuing to do compelling work in his backstage scenes, it stands to reason that there are even more big things coming after WrestleMania 41.
Previously having interactions with AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, Jey Uso – the options remain very intriguing for future feuds, let’s just hope he finally gets a chance to see them pay off inside a WWE ring.

6. Roxanne Perez
While Roxanne Perez is still in NXT at the minute, it seems as though she is poised to make the jump to the main roster sooner rather than later.
Putting on an impressive performance in the Royal Rumble 2025 by lasting longer than any other woman, Perez then went on to win her way into the Elimination Chamber.
However, she hasn’t been back to any main roster action since – and recently lost to Jordynne Grace in her match at WWE Roadblock.
All signs seem to point to Roxanne Perez being called up to the main roster and probably quickly rising the ranks of the women’s division.

5. Chad Gable & American Made
While American Made (Brutus & Julius Creed and Ivy Nile) continue to await the return to action of Chad Gable (who is totally NOT El Grande Americano of course), it seems that they are all poised for big things after WrestleMania 41.
With the Creed Brothers being viable contenders for the WWE World Tag Team Championship (currently held by the War Raiders), there has yet to be a confirmed WrestleMania 41 match for those titles.
In the mysterious absence of Chad Gable, El Grande Americano has already made his mark in WWE and shows no sign of slowing down.
It seems entirely likely that upon the return of Chad Gable, the entire faction is going to get a big push after Las Vegas.

4. Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre certainly continues to deliver every time he makes an appearance on TV.
Accordingly, it would make a lot of sense for the next major program to be built around him – perhaps trying to topple John Cena.
With McIntyre already acknowledging a history of bad memories of Cena (that Cena may or may not even remember ala CM Punk), perhaps McIntyre is the next badass babyface fans have been waiting for – like a Scottish Stone Cold.
With McIntyre likely taking on Damian Priest at WrestleMania 41, we’ll have to stay tuned to what happens at the big show and beyond. However, considering recent reports and the performances he consistently puts in, expect McIntyre to be a top WWE Title contender for much of 2025.

3. Aleister Black
While he hasn’t been officially confirmed as returning to WWE, there are some significant signs that Aleister Black is poised to return.
Despite having departed WWE for a stint in AEW, there have been vignettes pointing to not only his return but to resuming a character similar to his past iterations.
Since it seems that his return is being saved for WrestleMania 41 or afterwards, it would make sense for him to get a big push straight away.
Perhaps Black will feud with another star who is set to debut after a past history in AEW…

2. Rey Fenix
Rey Fenix has not only been officially announced as a WWE star, but it seems that he will also go the way of Penta and debut initially as a singles star.
Given how much of a push Penta has had out of the gate, it seems safe to assume that Fenix will get the same treatment.
Since fans have been patiently awaiting Fenix to join WWE, it makes sense to capitalize on all the buzz.
While fans would hope to see the former AEW Tag Team Champions the Lucha Brothers back together eventually, it will be fun to see what Rey Fenix is able to do as a solo star in WWE.

1. Alexa Bliss & Wyatt Sicks
After making a return to a hugely positive crowd reception at the Royal Rumble 2025 and then an appearance in the Elimination Chamber – Alexa Bliss has disappeared from WWE TV.
For their part, their entire Wyatt Sicks group has also not seen any action on television in 2025 at all, last appearing in December 2024.
Given their respective absences it’s hard to say for sure whether we’ll see either Alexa Bliss or The Wyatt Sicks at WrestleMania 41 itself, with the weeks to the event drawing near, WWE may instead opt to give both a big push after the dust has settled on the two-night event.
Teases were there that the two sides would intertwine before Bliss disappeared, so expect nothing less when they both return to TV.
