There is no doubt that the current WWE roster is packed with talent. At times, it can feel like some performers slip under the radar, even though they excellent at what they do.
The 2020 WWE Draft could give some of these Superstars a fresh opportunity to shine on either RAW or SmackDown, setting them up to face new competitors and initiate previously unseen rivalries.
With a roster as big as WWE's, it can be easy for Superstars to get lost in the shuffle, especially when a handful of stars dominate television time. Often, Superstars can get pushed due to fan reaction. A great example of this is former RAW Women's Champion, Becky Lynch.
Here are five WWE Superstars who should get a push on RAW or SmackDown.
#5. Former WWE tag team champion Shorty G
Shorty G debuted with WWE as Chad Gable, and one half of the tag team, American Alpha, alongside Jason Jordan. The pair had great in-ring chemistry. They fended off competitors on both NXT and SmackDown, having great matches against Breezango and The Usos before they split when Jordan moved to RAW.
The star has often competed in tag team competition during his time with WWE, pairing up with Shelton Benjamin and Robert Roode. Since 2019, Shorty G has been a SmackDown Superstar. He officially changed his name from Chad Gable to Shorty G during a feud with King Corbin, who constantly made fun of his height.
The performer suffered losses at the hands of Sheamus at the start of the year before he took a break and returned in the summer. Shortly afterward, he turned heel and aligned with King Corbin.
Shorty G is a highly talented WWE performer, but over the past year, he has been floating around the roster without a significant storyline. There would be many ways to involve Shorty G in the title picture, perhaps as a singles star, or in another tag team. It would be exciting to see him receive a push with WWE.
#4. WWE Superstar Tamina
Tamina made her WWE debut over ten years ago, allied with The Usos on RAW. A year later, Tamina made the move to SmackDown, where she acted as a villain in pursuit of her first title win. In 2013, Tamina became a bodyguard for Divas Champion, AJ Lee, and later unsuccessfully challenged Paige for the Divas Championship.
Tamina was later an integral part of the Women's Revolution in 2015 as a part of Team B.A.D with Naomi and NXT call-up, Sasha Banks. Team B.A.D took part in rivalries with Team Bella and Team PCB. After the group disbanded, Tamina teamed up with Nia Jax. They later competed for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 35.
The tag team quietly split after Nia Jax took time away from WWE to recover from two knee injuries. Tamina challenged Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship at Money In The Bank but she was unsuccessful. Over the year, Tamina took part in sporadic television appearances but hasn't enjoyed a significant storyline.
Tamina is a good performer. If WWE pushed her, it would be exciting to see what direction they could take with the star, especially if she became a part of the familial storyline with Jey Uso and Roman Reigns somehow.
#3. WWE Superstar Mojo Rawley
Mojo Rawley has been signed with WWE since 2012. He made his in-ring debut in 2013 before he gained attention two years later as one-half of The Hype Bros. The team racked up plenty of wins on NXT until they moved to SmackDown.
The Hype Bros remained a tag team for some time before they split up in 2018 after a series of losses. In 2019, Rawley became one of many WWE 24/7 Champions and engaged in a short rivalry over the belt with R-Truth throughout January 2020. Rawley had had a handful of television appearances this year, most notably alongside NFL star, Rob Gronkowski, at WrestleMania 36. Since Rawley hasn't been on WWE programming much.
In the ring, Mojo Rawley has previously been able to display a good level of skill. He has also shown the ability to get across a strong character, making him a great candidate for a push on either RAW or SmackDown this year.
#2. Former WWE NXT Champion Bo Dallas
Bo Dallas signed with WWE in 2008, experiencing various ups and downs since. During his time in NXT, Dallas had a successful reign as NXT Champion, before he made his debut on RAW. During his time on the main roster, Dallas aligned with The Miz, becoming a member of The Miztourage with Curtis Axel. The pair later turned on their leader.
Dallas and Axel became a tag team known as the B-Team. The duo had won the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship at Extreme Rules 2018 and managed to defend the titles against Breezango, The Deleters of Worlds, and The Revival.
In 2019, Bo Dallas became one of many WWE 24/7 champions. A few months later, the team effectively split up as WWE released Axel in April. Dallas hasn't been since on WWE programming for quite a while now. It could be a great opportunity for WWE to repackage him as a big star, as either a singles or tag team wrestler.
#1. Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Akira Tozawa
Akira Tozawa has been on WWE television frequently lately, but the performer hasn't exactly been used memorably. Tozawa joined WWE in 2016 as a part of WWE's cruiserweight division, appearing predominantly on 205 Live.
Towaza held the Cruiserweight Championship briefly and he later feuded with Drew Gulak, who he competed against for several weeks.
After he came to RAW in 2019, Towaza appeared sporadically on the red brand. He competed in the tournament for the recently renamed NXT Cruiserweight Championship but he was unsuccessful. Later, Towaza made a surprise appearance in a cinematic match at Backlash, cornering both The Street Profits and The Viking Raiders with his group on ninjas.
Most recently, Towaza has been pursuing R-Truth for the 24/7 Championship in a more comedic angle, where the star even strangely appeared to be eaten by sharks. Towaza seems to be fading out of this storyline, which is focusing on Gulak and R-Truth.
Towaza has the potential to go far with WWE, especially if he was to receive a push. He is a very talented star, and it would be a treat to see him engage in a meaningful feud.
