It is an amazing time to be a fan of professional wrestling. With the WWE upping its game, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) bringing a fresh hint of competition and NXT debuting on the USA network, there are plenty of treats in store for fans. Let’s look at what makes these promotions special and whom to watch out for in the coming days.
Cody Rhodes
Cody is the brains behind the All Elite Wrestling. What makes him unique is that not only has he given fans something to look beyond WWE, but he has not lost his relevance as a performer. Cody has always been a popular figure in the pro-wrestling circuit. After a very successful stint on the independent circuit, Cody moved on to AEW as the company’s main event player in May. After winning the match against his brother, Dustin, he had some exciting matches in the summer against Darby Allin, Shawn Spears and The Young Buck.
‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt
Some fans hate him and some love him. But absolutely no one is indifferent to The Fiend on WWE. Though Bray Wyatt has had some false starts through no fault of his, he has managed to make a comeback to endear himself with the fans. Wyatt knew the only way to breathe new life into his flagging career was to re-invent himself. And he did that with his vignettes on the Firefly funhouse. His friendly face intrigued fans enough to catch their attention and resulted in his return as The Fiend on RAW. Since then, he has had on and off reactions from fans, but he has captured their attention.

Johnny Gargano
If NXT has a soul, it would be Johnny Gargano. Since debuting four years ago at the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Gargano has been on fire. He has won almost every championship, cementing himself as the face of NXT. He may have had a tough week, thanks to Finn Balor. We can expect an exciting feud shaping up on NXT, and if Gargano’s past disputes are any indications, we are going to see some fantastic action in the ring.
Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch may not be as famous as she was during the Wrestle Mania 35, but she is still very much sought after than a majority of WWE stars – male or female. Lynch has always garnered a strong fan reaction, but her lack of consistency and gumption had fans shy away from rallying behind her. But in 2018, Lynch shot to popularity after she adopted the nickname ‘The Man’ and ran amok in the SmackDown women’s division.
Since then, she has become a fan sensation, and their support led to her triumph in 2019 Royal Rumble as well as the RAW and SmackDown Championships. While WWE hasn’t done a stellar job of allowing Lynch to keep her momentum after WrestleMania 35, she still has better bookings than any other female WWE star. To her merit, she has only been beaten once this year in a single's match. And following her victory against Sasha Banks inside the Hell in a Cell match, we feel there is no stopping her.
