5 Current WWE Superstars who desperately need a manager 

Paul Heyman and Zelina Vega have made the management game in WWE look easy over the years. Heyman has led Brock Lesnar to numerous World Championship wins, whilst Vega has been able to help Andrade win the United States Championship and currently manages Austin Theory and Angel Garza as well.

Managers come and go in WWE, but they don't always work out. Paul Heyman has managed a number of stars over the years, including Cesaro and Curtis Axel, but he didn't have as much success with them as he has with The Beast.

There are many wrestlers on WWE's main roster at present that could use the direction that a manager would give them, as well as the boost that would bring many of them into a decent storyline.

#5. Cedric Alexander and Ricochet

Cedric Alexander and Ricochet have come together on WWE TV over the past few weeks and are currently in a feud with Shane Thorne and Brendan Vink who have been managed by MVP since their promotion to the main roster.

The boost that MVP has given the former NXT stars is obvious to see and since Alexander and Ricochet were unable to reach the heights as singles competitors, it's easy to see a manager being able to boost their chances as a team.

There are a number of former WWE stars including WWE Hall of Famers Mark Henry or even D-Von Dudley who could step up and manage the newly-formed high flying team. At present, the duo is floating around the Monday Night RAW roster without direction and need to be able to get the better of Vink and Thorne in their current feud in order to be pushed towards the Tag Team Championship picture.

#4. Cesaro

Cesaro is one of the best pure wrestlers on the main roster at present, but the former United States Champion is often overlooked because he can't match his in-ring ability on the mic.

Cesaro could easily become World Champion with the right manager, even though Paul Heyman was unable to push The Swiss Superman forward. At present Cesaro looks to be under the guidance of Sami Zayn, but this stable hasn't allowed the inaugural Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner to show his full potential.

With Sami Zayn's WWE status currently unknown, Cesaro has once again disappeared from WWE TV and more shockingly, isn't even part of the Intercontinental Championship tournament. Cesaro was last seen when he was defeated by Jeff Hardy at Money in the Bank last weekend.

The Swiss Cyborg has proved that he has the fan support but he doesn't seem to have the backing of WWE officials backstage, which has hindered him throughout his career. The right manager could change all of this and push Cesaro back into contention for a major Championship on SmackDown.

#3. Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura should have won the WWE World Championship back in 2018 when he walked into WrestleMania as the Royal Rumble winner. Sadly, Nakamura was unable to dethrone AJ Styles and has been playing catch up ever since.

Much like Cesaro, Nakamura was taken under Sami Zayn's wing when he became The Liberator, and in the months that have followed, Nakamura has enjoyed more time oon WWE TV but became less relevant.

Now that Zayn's future is up in the air, it could be a good time for Nakamura to come out from under his wing and look at his own future on SmackDown.

The King of Strong Style is a former NXT Champion, he's someone who came to WWE with so much promise but has failed to deliver since being promoted to the main roster.

Nakamura isn't able to deliver promos because English isn't his native language, which means that he could use a manager by his side, but one that isn't also a wrestler on the same brand as him like Zayn.

#2. Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley has had a few managers since his return to WWE back in 2018. Lio Rush was perhaps the most successful one since he helped The Almighty to the Intercontinental Championship. The Hype Man was later sent back to NXT and in recent months, Lana has been the woman on Lashley's side but it appears that this is all to further her WWE career rather than her kayfabe husband's.

Lashley could be the next man to link up with MVP given recent developments on Monday Night RAW, which would be a step in the right direction for the former ECW Champion. Lashley has shown in recent years that he can step up and challenge someone like Brock Lesnar in the future, and he needs a manager that can make that match happen.

MVP has shown that he has decent credentials with his recent work on WWE RAW and he could be the man to get Lashley back into serious competition once again after the misguided recent storyline surrounding Lana and her real-life husband Rusev.

#1. Nia Jax

Nia Jax has had a fantastic career in WWE so far, but her push was hindered dramatically when Ronda Rousey signed with the company back in 2018.

Jax was never going to be the woman to defeat Rousey, so she could no longer be pushed as an unstoppable force on RAW. Now that Rousey is on hiatus and Becky Lynch recently announced that she will be gone for an undetermined amount of time, this could be Nia's chance to step up.

Jax is a former WWE RAW Women's Champion but she hasn't been given the chance to shine because she doesn't have someone who will speak up for her. Brock Lesnar is a Beast because Paul Heyman makes it clear whenever he steps through the curtain. Heyman does half of the work for Lesnar and if Jax wants to be on that level, then she needs someone to come and do the same.

Paige recently gave Jax her finishing move since she can no longer use the Ram-Paige herself. Perhaps there's a way for the best friends to link up on WWE TV once again? Could Paige be the manager Jax has been missing?
