We have come to the end of yet another exciting year of WWE action, and 2020 promises to be even better. WWE have had quite an interesting second half of the year, thanks to the WWE Draft and the new faces added to the roster. The addition of NXT to Survivor Series spiced things up on WWE television, and added a different element to the PPV.

It's expected that the Yellow and Gold brand will feature more on WWE's big PPV's going forward, as they go head on with AEW. WWE and AEW have gone head-to-head with each other over the last couple of months, and it's been a close run thing between the two promotions.

WWE could up the ante next year by shocking audiences with various story-lines, as well as sign young and exciting wrestlers from various promotions around the world.

Who could WWE sign in 2020? Let's take a look at 4 Superstars who WWE could sign in 2020:


#4 Taya Valkyrie

Taya Valkyrie is possibly one of the most important women wrestlers in Impact Wrestling at the moment, and is the current Impact Knockouts Champion. Valkyrie is married to recently-signed WWE Superstar John Morrison, who returned to WWE recently.

Many fans have wanted Valkyrie to also sign with WWE, as many have felt that she would be a valuable addition to the WWE.

Before Morrison signed for WWE, Taya spoke about how they've managed to live away from each other: (via Forbes)

"Even though we’ve worked together a lot of that time, part of that time—when we first started for example—I was living in Mexico. We were traveling back and forth and we made it work and no matter where he goes on his next step of his journey and his professional wrestling career, it’s going to be okay because we love each other, support each other and I know he’s got my back, I’ve got his back and it’s just part of life,” said Valkyrie.

She was previously a part of WWE, albeit briefly, when she was on a developmental contract back in 2011. Now, Valkyrie is a bonafide star and could become an important player in WWE's women's revolution.

#3 Daniel Cormier

Daniel Cormier is perhaps one of the greatest UFC stars of all-time, but many would perhaps not know that he is also a massive WWE fan.

Cormier has time and again spoken about joining WWE, not as a wrestler, but as a commentator or analyst.

In a recent interview with BT Sport, Cormier spoke about how WWE and he have had many discussions in the past.

"I've talked with the WWE on a number of occasions, they want to work together. I almost came to the press conference for Brock [Lesnar] vs. Cain [Velasquez] to play the role of a fight builder. Unfortunately, my schedule didn't work.

"I got an offer to work that new show, WWE Backstage on [FS1]. Obviously, it didn't work with the new relationship with [UFC and] ESPN. But we are constantly trying to get me involved in the product. As a big-time fan of the WWE, nothing makes me happier. I've got some great opportunities, man. I'm lucky. I've got some things outside of the octagon that's gonna carry me for a long time," said Cormier.

It's quite certain that Cormier will be involved with WWE in some way in the near future. Perhaps he could be someone who could become a commentator on RAW, whose announce team is lacking the "it" factor at the moment.

#2 Jay Lethal

Jay Lethal is perhaps one of the most talented pro wrestlers outside of WWE in the last decade or so. Lethal made his name with Ring of Honor, before becoming a megastar with TNA. The 6-time TNA X Division Champion has been with ROH since 2011 after leaving TNA and is one of their most important wrestlers at the moment.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda earlier this year, Lethal revealed that he was happy with ROH, but hinted that one never knows what the future holds.

"Where do I see myself? There is no telling what tomorrow will hold. As far as where I want to be, my longtime dream was to make it in professional wrestling. To me, what making it was, was being able to buy a house, and buy a car, and pay your bills without needing an extra job.

"Just solely from the money that I make from wrestling. Ring of Honor has provided me with the opportunity to do so. I am extremely thankful for that. They have also given me opportunities that no other wrestling company that I've worked for has given me until now have given me. Hopefully, the future holds me doing something with or in Ring of Honor," said Lethal.

At WWE, he could make a great mid-card Superstar, who could mix it up with the likes of Ali, Ricochet, or even feud with former TNA Superstars like AJ Styles or Samoa Joe.

#1 Tessa Blanchard

Tessa Blanchard is another incredible performer that deserves to showcase her talent in front of millions, at a company like WWE or AEW.

Blanchard, who currently wrestles at Impact Wrestling and AAA among several promotions, has previously been a part of WWE, albeit very briefly. She wrestled in NXT and was then a part of the Mae Young Classic in 2016 and 2017, but hasn't returned to WWE.

There were reports doing the rounds a few months ago that Blanchard had quit Impact and that she is now free to join another promotion. If this is true, both AEW and WWE will be eager to sign her up, perhaps in 2020. A recent report stated that she is still contracted with Impact and that it only expires in the summer of 2020.

Blanchard reportedly has a "bad attitude", which she herself has alluded to, of which there have been rumblings about it in the wrestling community. But, that aside, she is a wrestler that should get another opportunity to show what she's truly capable of, and can be a great addition to the WWE roster.
