WWE.com recently listed their top 16 superstars to watch in 2016. Here is the list:
- Seth Rollins
- Apollo Crews
- Samoa Joe
- Sasha Banks
- Kevin Owens
- Jason Jordan/ Chad Gable
- Asuka
- Braun Strowman
- Cesaro
- Dana Brooke
- Hideo Itami
- Corey Graves
- Eva Marie
- Neville
- Kalisto
- Peyton Royce
Pretty solid list. The WWE Universe will all be watching Seth Rollins in 2016 when he recovers from his knee injury, coming back for the title he never lost. Apollo Crews should make big waves in NXT and could hold the NXT title before the year is over. Samoa Joe should be a favourite to move up to the main roster sometime in 2016. Sasha Banks is clearly a star and will get shots at becoming Divas champion this year. Kevin Owens has been fantastic to start his career and will only improve as the year goes by. Jordan and Gable have a huge following and should take over NXT's Tag Team division. Asuka will more than likely get a NXT Women's title shot this year as she has been amazing so far. Braun is still raw and as he continues to wrestle and gain experience he will become even more impressive. Cesaro is no doubt a fan favourite and when he returns from injury will receive a huge reaction and hopefully a title push! Dana Brooke also has been impressive and I'm sure will receive a NXT Women's title shot. Corey Graves has been great on commentary for NXT and as a member of the RAW/PPV pre-shows. Expect him to move up the ranks in 2016. No doubt the world will be watching Eva Marie as her wrestling career progresses, whether that is to cheer her on or watch her fail! Neville and Kalisto are two high-flying superstars that have transitioned nicely onto the main roster from NXT. I expect one of them to get a mid-card title chance this year. Don't know much about Peyton Royce but she is being called the next female to watch, so we will see what 2016 has in store for her!
Agree with the WWE on this one? Who would you add/subtract to this list for 2016?
