With WWE Raw’s powerful alliance of Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed soldiering on in Seth Rollins’ absence, they may be looking for a new member.
From stars currently awaiting return from injury to others that could use the group as a way to re-invent themselves, there are plenty of intriguing choices for new members to the stable.
Here are six WWE stars that could potentially join the WWE Raw faction of Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
6. Ilja Dragunov
One long absent star that is reportedly nearing return readiness is Ilja Dragunov.
The Mad Dragon has been out of action since September 2024 with a torn ACL that he picked up during a WWE live event match with GUNTHER.
With the group potentially poised for a showdown with GUNTHER, it would be legendary to see Dragunov make his return to align with them to take down the Ring General.
With history between Dragunov and Breakker similar to that of the group’s overall rationale (having gained one another’s respect through violence), he could turn out to be an ideal fit.

5. Carmelo Hayes
Since being called up to the main roster, Carmelo Hayes has been able to showcase his in-ring abilities but has moved between different alliances.
Perhaps anchoring Hayes within the Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman faction would provide a direct mission for him to channel his excellence.
While Carmelo Hayes has seemed to be a languishing a bit on WWE SmackDown, it is possible that there is already a new faction spot in the works for him.
Recently taking to social media, R-Truth posted an intriguing photo of himself, Hayes and the Street Profits – potentially teasing a brand new alliance between the four.

4. Tony D’Angelo
Former NXT North American Champion Tony D’Angelo certainly seems to be wrapping up his time in NXT.
With The D’Angelo Family seemingly set for a final showdown on the July 15 edition of NXT, Tony D could be looking for his next project in WWE.
Bringing D’Angelo into an entirely new family on the main roster would make sense as a path forward rather than to try and bring him up as a singles act.
Having demonstrated himself a worthy opponent to Bron Breaker in the past in NXT – and considering their real-life friendship – Tony D’Angelo could be a great addition to the group.

3. Ricky Saints
With Seth Rollins poised to potentially be out of action for a period of time due to injury, the group could recruit another star to fill his fashion loving boots.
While he has been playing a babyface thus far in WWE NXT, bringing Ricky Saints to the main roster as a heelish spawn of Seth Rollins could be an incredible segue.
Definitely able to hold his own on the microphone and in the fashion innovation department, Saints could be a fun fill-in spearheaded by Bron Breakker – leading to conflict later with Rollins.
Pairing Saints with Heyman on-screen would be a major launching point for the former AEW star who has found new life in NXT.

2. Ethan Page
Another former AEW star who was able to hit new career heights since joining WWE is ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page.
It was recently reported that internally both Page and Ricky Saints were pitched to potentially join the main roster group headed up by Seth Rollins.
Now that Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman could be looking to add members to the group with even more urgency, the NXT North American Champion could be the perfect recruit.
Able to join the group and immediately get to work, his in-ring abilities in addition to skills when verbally sparring with enemies would definitely make him an asset to the group.

1. Austin Theory
Austin Theory has only had four main roster WWE TV matches in 2025 – although his A-Town Down Under tag team partner Grayson Waller has found an alliance with The New Day.
Perhaps Theory could be undergoing a makeover en route to joining Paul Heyman’s latest faction.
With history in a Seth Rollins led faction in 2020, Theory had been previously positioned as a potential successor to John Cena.
Clearly still highly regarded backstage – including a noted fan in Paul Heyman – perhaps Austin Theory will soon return with a brand new mission.
