Top 5 Superstars WWE could push as the next John Cena

#3 Adam Cole (WWE NXT)

Adam Cole

Many WWE fans have adored Adam Cole since his NXT debut. His outstanding in-ring skills help him stand out on a talented NXT roster. Cole has also led the Undisputed ERA, one of the best stables in recent memory.

Apart from his amazing wrestling skills, Cole carries himself like a star. He walks, talks and wrestles like he's WWE's top guy. Though Cole doesn't isn't as physically big as John Cena, the company has given him plenty of opportunities as a main eventer. For example, he has already defeated Daniel Bryan on an episode of WWE SmackDown.

As a result, it wouldn't be surprising if Cole replicated his NXT success on the main roster. He has also excelled outside of the ring, as many fans enjoy his regular appearances on UpUpDownDown and his own Twitch account. Plus, his feud with Pat McAfee brought some fresh eyes to NXT and proved that Cole could thrive as a babyface.

Cole held the NXT Championship for 396 days, so there's no doubt that WWE trusts him. He hasn't been called up to the main roster yet. But if WWE handles Cole correctly, he could easily become the household name that he is destined to be.
