4. Matt Cardona
Matt Cardona returned to WWE recently, doing away with his old Zack Ryder gimmick. However, he has not managed to get a lot of momentum going. The former Intercontinental Champion seemingly entered a program with the MFTs this past week, but could be utilized much better.
Ahead of WrestleMania 42, he could be booked in a prominent feud to help him connect with the fans better. It could potentially be against an up-and-coming star like Trick Williams. Alternatively, he could also have a program against a heel like Solo Sikoa, after recently teaming up with Shinsuke Nakamura, Ilja Dragunov and Carmelo Hayes to face the MFTs.
3. Giulia
Giulia reclaimed the Women’s United States Championship a few weeks ago, defeating Chelsea Green. However, she has not quite been positioned strongly just yet.
Teaming up with Kiana James, she challenged Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY for the Women’s Tag Team Championship, but came up short. Now, after failing to qualify for the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match, WWE needs to push her as a strong champion to be able to build credibility for her character heading into WrestleMania 42.
2. Carmelo Hayes
Carmelo Hayes has put together an incredible run on SmackDown with his United States Championship Open Challenge. However, the time is right for him to enter a prominent feud with one specific rival.
Perhaps he could face Kit Wilson, with the former Pretty Deadly member getting a singles run on the blue brand. Hayes has shown that he is one of the best in the ring, and recently had a face-off against the MFTs. If Solo Sikoa doesn’t go on to challenge him for the US Title, perhaps WWE could revisit the feud between Trick Williams and him from their NXT days.
1. Trick Williams
The former TNA World Champion has taken SmackDown by storm since his arrival. He radiates star power, and recently had an incredible match against Rey Fenix on the blue brand.
As a result, Williams could be in line for a major push heading into WrestleMania season. The former NXT star could be booked to challenge for the United States Championship. At this point, a run with the title seems like the best path forward, since the world title scene is quite crowded. Few people have been able to get the crowd firing as much as Trick Williams in their first few weeks on the brand. And he surely deserves a push with the biggest show of the year approaching.
