Top 5 Superstars WWE could push as the next John Cena

#4 Becky Lynch (WWE Raw)

Becky Lynch with the Raw Women's Championship

Becky Lynch rapidly became one of the top stars in WWE. She is arguably the most successful member of the Four Horsewomen, and she has already secured her spot as one of the company's top stars. It's fair to say that she's already a megastar. But she hasn't reached Cena's level quite yet.

"The Man" quickly rocketed to the main scent scene, and she made WWE history when she competed in the final match at WrestleMania 35. If WWE had to bet on any of its current megastars to draw in fans the way Cena once did, it would be "The Irish Lass Kicker."

But Lynch recently became a mother, so it's fair to question her WWE future. Lynch has been absent from WWE programming since she announced her pregnancy. Now that she has given birth, she might stay away the ring for a few more months.

Still, "The Man" is one of the company's top stars. When she comes back, she'll continue to add to her remarkably successful career. Lynch is only 33 years old, so she's still in her prime. If WWE books her correctly, she could cement her spot as the next John Cena.

Zain ensures his work is reliable and accurate by verifying the information through multiple credible sources. He aims to provide ample context and details in his articles, creating a pleasant reading experience.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
