With the roster the company possesses today, WWE have certainly managed to ascend some of their superstars to the top of the industry without laying any significant emphasis on their push.

While some were always meant to become the next big thing, there are certain superstars who have scratched and clawed their way to become the most popular superstar on the entire roster.

The great thing about professional wrestling is the involvement of the fans that are constantly supporting their favorite superstars, and in the process, coercing the company to hear their voices.

Considering that it was the WWE Universe that took the company by storm, and pushed Daniel Bryan to the main event status he deserved by elevating him to the top of the industry, and therefore, led him to pull off a miracle at WrestleMania 30.

There's no denying that the creative team has at times, failed to bring longevity to a certain character and over-pushing them becomes too troubling when it comes to garnering appreciation from the crowd.

Whether it is NXT or WWE, some of the superstars from the company have risen to the top of the industry organically and have become a wrestling sensation today. Who are they? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 biggest WWE/NXT superstars that are a worldwide sensation today.


#1 Becky Lynch

Possibly the greatest WWE superstar today

At a time when WWE's booking of the women's division was being vehemently criticized all over the internet, one female superstar was making waves all the world with her willingness to reach to the top and grab the brass ring.

Becky Lynch has emerged to become possibly the most popular superstar on the entire roster today, and has been successful in gravitating the attention of the management with her ever resilient in-ring skills and charisma.

While the company held Charlotte, Ronda Rousey, and Alexa Bliss as the main female competitors on both brands, the Irish Sensation had the adulation of the crowd and that eventually led her to become a sensation within the industry.

There's no female superstar on both the rosters that can even match the popularity of Lynch, and since she is heading into a collision course with Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series, the fans could make things ugly for the Rowdy One due to their love for Becky.

Legions of WWE fans see her as the Stone Cold of the women's division and judging by how dominant she has been, the company finally has a legitimate main-event superstar in their hands with Becky Lynch.

#2 Elias

Another superstar that has built a reputation for himself as the only one of his kind on the roster today is Elias. There's a certain charisma that this guy has that gravitates our attention every single time he is in the ring.

While his heel run was beyond exceptional, his recent face turn has begun on the right note, with the Drifter probably enacting more of a tweener rather than a pure babyface.

Despite the limited in-ring time, Elias has managed to garner tremendous adulation from his peers, critics, fans, and the management that are constantly presenting him on events that demand his personality.

Entertaining the crowd today through your personality is becoming a tedious task, and since we are living in the age of information, Elias has certainly kept his character alive by constantly poking the audience through his wit and humor.

This man is running riot on Monday Night Raw and definitely deserves all the recognition he is getting, and if everything goes right, he just might be the main-event guy Vince McMahon is desperately looking for.

#3 Drew Mcintyre

The future is the Prodigal Son

There are very few talents in the back that look as ready to grab the brass ring as Drew Mcintyre today. The former NXT Champion has had a long road to glory, but has managed to learn the business better through those years of scratching and clawing.

McIntyre is one of the biggest Vince McMahon projects today, and while he might come across as the 'Chosen One', his in-ring quality and physical stature compliment his terminator-like personality.

Judging by the way the creative team has booked him, the Scottish Sensation seems like the next big thing and could be the next in line to dethrone Braun Strowman or Brock Lesnar to win the Universal Championship.

While he is a man who believes in producing results, Roman Reigns' heartbreaking exit has made the route even clearer for the Scottish Psychopath.

The fans love him and would probably be invested in everything he does because just like Elias and Becky Lynch, Drew Mcintyre is 'money'.

#4 Velveteen Dream

An experience Vince McMahon cannot ignore

Since Triple H has claimed that Vince McMahon has never watched a full NXT episode, it's a damn shame that the Chairman has never experienced the kind of quality the Game has been producing on a weekly basis.

While the fans have vehemently criticized WWE's creative booking, the Cerebral Assassin is busy building upcoming stars into future main-event threats for the company.

One of them is Velveteen Dream. There's no denying that there are many proficient stars in the developmental brand that have made a name for themselves and are continuing to become very popular, but none of them has been as successful as Velveteen Dream.

Dream has managed to gravitate everyone's attention, and if a guy like John Cena says that he could be the one WWE is looking for, then you have to believe it.

Despite the fact that Velveteen has not won any gold under the Game, he is still one of the most talented superstars in the history of this business, and when he finally arrives on the main roster, the experience will be 'insane'.

#5 Dean Ambrose

Despite debuting with the Shield in 2012, Dean Ambrose has emerged to become one of the most versatile and talked about superstars in the entire WWE today.

The Lunatic Fringe possesses all the credentials in the world to become the top guy in the company, and his recent heel turn has instantly catapulted him to the top of the wrestling industry.

Everyone has their eyes sight on the former WWE Champion, and since the fans felt he was held back for so long, his potential will be on full display as he embarks upon this journey of viciousness and annihilation.

His current feud with Seth Rollins is already speaking volumes and deserves the recognition of a main-event status at WrestleMania 35. Since the timing of his heel turn was absolutely perfect, his lunacy could come into full fruition with what he does in the coming weeks.

There's no denying that Ambrose is everything that personifies ruthless aggression, and the fact that he has finally turned heel makes him a more frightful man than ever before.
