Since WrestleMania, Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman’s faction have been a major focal point of WWE programming – running roughshod over the roster.
Despite Rollins reportedly being injured at the recent Saturday Night’s Main Event the faction has continued to feature prominently, with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed set for one of SummerSlam’s biggest matches against Roman Reigns and Jey Uso.
Yet with Breakker likely to break out as a top babyface, the faction may soon need to look for a replacement.
Below are potential new additions to the group.
5. Tavion Heights
NXT performer Tavion Heights is currently embroiled in a feud with No Quarter Catch Crew leader Charlie Dempsey – as he attempts to leave the faction he’s seemingly contractually bound to.
Since debuting in 2022, the former Olympic Greco-Roman wrestler has steadily improved, impressing during his excursion to Japan with Pro Wrestling NOAH and continuing to develop his explosive in-ring style.
It seems likely he’ll come out on top in the feud with Dempsey – and equally likely he’s nearing a main roster call-up.
With his elite athletic pedigree and marketable look, Heights feels like a natural fit to eventually replace Bron Breakker in Seth Rollins’ faction.

4. Aleister Black
During Paul Heyman’s brief stint as Executive Director of Raw between 2019 and 2020, Aleister Black was one of the performers he was keen to push – reportedly considered one of “Heyman’s guys” backstage.
That push never materialised: Heyman was removed from the role, and Black was released from the company.
Since returning to WWE post-WrestleMania, Black has yet to receive a major spotlight – though recent weeks have seen him begin a feud with Damian Priest.
While perhaps a visually unusual fit for Heyman’s faction, his inclusion could jumpstart the meaningful push Black has long been waiting for.

3. Ricky Saints
NXT star Ricky Saints’ long-running feud over the North American Title with Ethan Page appears to have reached its conclusion following their standout Falls Count Anywhere blow-off match at The Great American Bash.
The 35-year-old has now transitioned into what seems to be a short-term programme with recent WWE LFG winner Jasper Troy – a feud that clearly serves to pass on valuable experience to the newcomer.
A polished performer who arguably never needed a stint in WWE’s developmental brand to begin with, a main roster call-up now seems imminent.
Exuding arrogant charisma and delivering main event-level character work, Saints would be a perfect fit for Seth Rollins’ faction.

2. Andrade
Andrade’s WWE journey mirrors that of Aleister Black.
The Mexican star was also someone Paul Heyman wanted to push during his stint in charge of Raw – but, like Black, the opportunity was denied him, and Andrade was eventually released from the company.
Since returning from AEW, he has lacked clear direction, though his recent tag team with Rey Fenix has produced strong in-ring performances.
An outstanding in-ring talent, Andrade’s character works best as a supercilious, arrogant heel – a persona that would fit seamlessly into Seth Rollins’ faction.

1. Oba Femi
In NXT, Oba Femi has proven himself to be one of WWE’s standout performers.
He possesses everything the company looks for in a future main eventer: size, charisma, and an explosive big-man moveset.
At just 27 years old, the Nigerian-born star is a surefire main event talent in the making.
With a main roster call-up clearly on the near horizon, and Bron Breakker likely to break away from Seth Rollins’ faction, Femi is the ideal candidate to replace him.
