Bron Breakker, Jacob Fatu And The 5 Next Faces Of WWE
Bron Breakker should benefit greatly from the absence of Seth Rollins. (Credit: Heather ... More McLaughlin/WWE via Getty Images) WWE is already strapping the proverbial rocket to Bron Breakker and Jacob Fatu, but they won't be alone. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t both Breakker and Fatu, along with Rhea Ripley, are being positioned as WWE's next top stars. In the case of Ripley, one could argue she's already there. She's a three-time women's world champion on the main roster and has been cemented as one of the biggest stars on Monday Night Raw over the past few years. While Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes have been the main two driving forces behind WWE's boom period over the past decade, Ripley is one of a handful of other stars who've been right beside them. Still, as John Cena nears retirement while Rhodes and Reigns continue to dip their toes into Hollywood, WWE is in a major transitional period right now. These stars are the closest thing WWE has to a next 'face of the company,' and it could happen sooner rather than later. Liv Morgan As is the case with Ripley, Liv Morgan is essentially already one of WWE's cornerstones, but she isn't always mentioned in that conversation. Morgan, a former three-time world champion herself, recently landed her first major movie role and reportedly wowed the filming crew with her performance. That's not a surprise given Morgan's roles in cinema-style storylines in WWE over the past several years, most notably her love triangle with Ripley and Dominik Mysterio. As Morgan has developed her acting chops during her decade in WWE, she's also developed into one of the most well-rounded performers in the entire company. In fact, Morgan has been the glue that's held WWE's women's division together during the long-term absences of stars like Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. While Morgan's WWE resume isn't quite as impressive as those stars, she's still just 31 years old, already has a list of Hall of Fame-worthy accomplishments and is becoming a household name both in and out of the pro wrestling circles. Trick Williams A sign of strange times in pro wrestling, WWE NXT star Trick Williams is currently holding the TNA World Championship, a true testament to WWE's faith in him as a potential future face of the company. Indeed, there have long been reports that WWE views Williams, a former football player and standout athlete, as a WrestleMania main eventer in the making. Williams certainly has the look, the athletic pedigree and the charisma to get there, but WWE will never truly know what it has in Williams until he's officially promoted to Raw or SmackDown. The one thing that might hold Williams back is his in-ring skills, which aren't progressing quite as quickly as other rising stars in WWE. Yet, WWE fans have seen time and time again that stars dripping in charisma can make it to the top before their in-ring skills match their crowd connection or in-ring abilities. Williams could follow a similar path because if his wrestling skills catch up with everything else, he truly is a possible generational talent. Bron Breakker There's a reason why Bron Breakker has long been considered to be someone WWE can build its future around: he's the total package. Breakker has the look, the in-ring skills and the crowd connection that make him a virtual shoo-in to be a main eventer and world champion contender for the next decade-plus. The recent injury to Breakker's stablemate Seth Rollins, which has resulted in an even bigger spotlight on Breakker, is only going to expedite the process. Breakker is on track for a mega match involving Reigns at SummerSlam in just a couple of weeks, and that's a sign of things to come. Still just 27 years old, Breakker has developed into a human highlight reel over the past year, and he's only getting started. If he isn't headlining WrestleMania within the next year or two, someone in WWE creative will have dropped the ball. Stephanie Vaquer Stephanie Vaquer has been on WWE's main roster for a cup of coffee, but it's already clear that she's one of the biggest stars in the women's division. The former NXT standout is quickly generating some of the loudest crowd reactions in WWE, especially with her Devil's Kiss move, and in a matter of mere months, she's developed an incredible connection with WWE's fan base. Whatever 'it' is, Vaquer has it, and WWE fans are already recognizing it. Even with limited English, Vaquer is already improving in the promo department, too, which is the final piece of the puzzle to make her a five-tool player. Vaquer will challenge for a women's world title at next month's Clash in Paris event, demonstrating that she's already perhaps just a match away from reaching the mountaintop. With the right feud, Vaquer is all but guaranteed to solidify herself as a top act by next year's WrestleMania, if not sooner. Jacob Fatu Speaking of meteoric rises, Jacob Fatu, in the span of roughly one year, already ranks among WWE's biggest babyfaces. In fact, WWE recently began a massive marketing push for the Samoan star, who has that type of rapport with the crowd that is almost indescribable. Part of Fatu's virtually instantaneous success on SmackDown is that everything he does, from his promos to his in-ring work, feels incredibly authentic. Nothing Fatu does seems forced or fake, so it's been easy for WWE fans of all ages and backgrounds to be able to relate to him. Throw in a feud with Solo Sikoa's hated stable and some stellar highlight-filled matches, and all of the ingredients are there for Fatu to be a world champion sooner rather than later. Much like Reigns, he should headline a number of WrestleManias, win a handful of world titles and remain a prominent fixture in the main event scene for as long as he's in WWE.
