Professional Wrestling is an industry where not everyone can make a name for themselves. Throughout the history of sports entertainment, numerous superstars have earned a name - not just with their incredible athleticism and charisma inside the ring, but also with their electrifying promos and mic work.

Unfortunately, not everyone is gifted with the ability to drive the fans crazy with their words on the mic. For the same reason, WWE has introduced managers and mouthpieces for various superstars, the recent example of that being Shinsuke Nakamura, who appeared on SmackDown live with Sami Zayn as his mouthpiece.

It was a great decision from the company to pair the duo as this alliance would benefit both the Superstars in many ways. On a similar note, there are many such Superstars on the roster who could benefit by having a mouthpiece alongside them which can help them connect better with the fans.

In this article, we take a look at four WWE Superstars on the main roster who could do with a mouthpiece to assist them in the ring.


#4 Cesaro

Cesaro was in red-hot form post-WrestleMania 31, after a huge victory at the grandest stage of them all when he eliminated the Big Show to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Even bigger was the fact that WWE post that win decided to make him a Paul Heyman guy.

The alliance seemed to be guiding the Swiss Superman towards stardom but unfortunately, it all ended abruptly. One thing that it made us realize was that Cesaro could certainly prove to be a lot more menacing with a manager on his side.

During his initial days in the company as Antonio Cesaro, he was managed by his on-screen lover, Aksana, and even during his run with Sheamus in a coalition known as The Bar, it was Sheamus who did most of the talking, just as Cesaro kept impressing everyone with his in-ring masterclass.

Currently, he is lost somewhere in the mid-card and having a manager by his side would help him reach the level of success that he deserves. Be it another alliance with Heyman, or even a returning Tyson Kidd as his manager, it would be a smart move to get him a mouthpiece.

#3 The Authors of Pain

It wouldn't be a surprise if people have forgotten that these two monsters from NXT are already on the main roster, as they've hardly appeared ever since moving up the ranks. The Authors of Pain is a prime example of how lightly the company takes its Tag Team division as these two are arguably one of the best teams that they have.

Having held the NXT Tag Team Championships apart from winning the Dusty Rhodes Classic Tournament, the WWE Universe was expecting a major push for Akam and Rezar. However, this push never happened and is not on the cards either.

Apart from their monstrous appearance and impressive in-ring skills, it was their manager Paul Ellering who garnered some attention towards the duo. Ellering was the same person who managed the legendary team of Road Warriors.

Due to some reason, Vince McMahon decided to separate him from the team as soon as they moved up to the main roster, and the two haven't been the same without him.

Certainly, it is tough to reason out why the Authors of Pain haven't already won the tag titles on either of the brands. We recently saw the team of Asuka and Kairi Sane getting a manager in the form of Paige, and something along the same lines would be a huge boost for the career paths of the Authors of Pain.

#2 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has often been considered the 'John Cena' or the poster boy of this generation. One of the biggest reasons why Cena became such a huge star was his ability to connect with the fans and attract them with his promos. Unfortunately, Reigns is nowhere close to his level, as evident in the video above.

There have been many talks of the company planning to give rise to a feud between him and The Rock at WrestleMania 36. One thing that they need to understand is that there's no way The Big Dog can match The Rock on the mic. The rivalry between the Brahma Bull and Cena was given an added dimestion owing to the fact that the two ripped each other every time they picked up a mic. Reigns, however, is not at that level.

The best way to go forward with this would be to give him a manager. The two others as part of The Shield - Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose - could make an impression on the mic, but it was Reigns who got the major push, something which didn't go well with the fans.

#1 Braun Strowman

In the multiple discussions surrounding the next potential Paul Heyman guy, Braun Strowman is one of the biggest names to be thrown in the hat. The Monster Among Men has enjoyed a couple of good fights but has not been presented on screen up to his full potential as a dangerous and scary Superstar.

Unfortunately, he does not have someone like Heyman who could present him like the monster he is. Can you imagine Brock Lesnar being this dominating if Heyman was not by his side, reminding us all about his great accomplishments? Strowman could take some help from someone like Heyman to break that glass ceiling.

Strowman is one Superstar who likes to make a mark with his fighting style rather than with the mic and being represented by a manager who can boast of his intimidating presence could put him on a pedestal.

His alliance with The Goddess, Alexa Bliss in the Mixed Match Challenges brought about a humor side and the pairing worked wonders as fans loved to see Bliss managing a monster who destroyed everything in his path.

Strowman was first introduced as part of the Wyatt Family, and maybe another alliance with his former leader, who is making an impression with his persona, could get his career back on track.
