5 Superstars Triple H will push once Vince McMahon steps down

Triple H has had an incredible and decorated Hall of Fame career by this point. He came into WWE in the mid-90s and was given the gimmick of a Connecticut blueblood aristocrat. More than two decades later, he is the Executive Vice President of WWE, and is all set to take over the company from his father-in-law at some point in the near future.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have ambitious goals when it comes to WWE's future. They want to turn it into a major franchise and a legit global phenomenon. Over the past several years, Triple H has taken the helm in NXT and has turned it into the best brand on WWE TV.

He has helped a string of Superstars rise to the top of NXT's ranks and make their way to the main roster. With Vince McMahon still in-charge of the big leagues, not every Triple H project becomes a success. But this might change for good once he takes over from Vince.

Here are 5 Superstars who will be pushed by The Game once he takes over WWE.

#5. Walter

At NXT TakeOver: New York during WrestleMania weekend, Walter defeated Pete Dunne to win the NXT United Kingdom Championship for the first time ever. The loss ended Dunne's 685-day reign as champion.

Walter made his NXT UK debut earlier this year, and proceeded to challenge Pete Dunne for the top title. Triple H has nothing but praise for the brawler, who defeated Dunne in a classic, and claimed the UK gold. In the wake of Walter's debut, The Game talked about how he has high expectations from Walter as he moves ahead on the NXT UK brand.

Triple H added that Walter has all the ingredients that are needed for one to become a global star. A tough as nails heel like Walter is exactly what Triple H would want on his roster after taking the helm.

#4. Ali

Remember when Triple H secured Sin Cara with a WWE contract years ago? The Game is well known for possessing an incredible amount of knowledge when it comes to wrestling. He has spent years learning the craft from the very best in the business.

Triple H's intentions with Cara were to bring in some much needed international exposure to WWE. Unfortunately, Cara didn't capitalize on the opportunity given to him, and was seen botching his entrances and moves on a regular basis.

Ali was one of the most exciting Superstars on 205 Live, and was called up to the blue brand. Triple H knows how chock full of talent Ali is. The Sin Cara project was a massive failure, and Triple H must not have forgotten his past mistake. He has another chance at pushing a cruiserweight to the top of the food chain on the main roster, and he will eventually do so.

#3. Asuka

The Empress of Tomorrow has fallen hard over the course of the past year. She went from winning the Royal Rumble match last year, to performing in the 2nd Annual Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal. Less than two weeks before from The Show of Shows, Asuka lost the SmackDown Live Women's Title to Charlotte Flair. She went on to deliver a heartfelt speech on her loss.

The WWE Universe slammed the company for treating a wrestler of her stature in such a disrespectful manner. It's no secret that Vince McMahon is high on Charlotte Flair, which explains the last-minute win over Asuka. Moreover, it was done so that the main event of WrestleMania became a "Winner takes all" match. Triple H has had a history of bringing in international talent to diversify the WWE roster.

Additionally, he knows that Asuka is a legit tough-as-nails wrestler and is someone who could become a mainstay on the top of the Women's division for years to come. Expect a mega push for Asuka once Vince McMahon steps down and lets Triple H handle the main rosters.

#2. Matt Riddle

The former MMA fighter has it all! He boasts an incredible look and if his NXT tenure is any indication, he can wrestle a good match inside the squared circle with the very best in the WWE.

Riddle has previously expressed his desire to be the one to retire Brock Lesnar. Amidst rumors of Lesnar wanting to leave the company at WrestleMania 36, we might get this match sooner than we thought.

A win over Lesnar would propel Riddle to the top as the guy who put down The Beast, something that Seth Rollins did with the aid of a low blow. Triple H could push Matt Riddle as a huge babyface after his eventual victory over Lesnar.

WWE has suffered the consequences of not creating a bunch of top stars at the same time, and putting all the eggs in the same basket. Pushing Riddle would be a step towards rectifying that mistake. With the main roster having Superstars like Rollins, Reigns, and McIntyre, the addition of Riddle could give us tons of dream matches.

#1. Velveteen Dream

Whenever he's asked about Velveteen Dream, one can see Triple H's eyes glow with hope and excitement. He has spent a considerable amount of time and energy in pushing The Dream as one of the top performers on the NXT brand.

Dream oozes charisma whenever he comes out to deliver a promo or wrestle a match. With him already being extremely popular, Triple H hasn't brought him up to the main roster yet, and this is a praiseworthy decision on The Game's part.

Instead of taking a risk with calling him up during Vince McMahon's reign, Triple H should wait it out and do it when he takes over. One can't even begin to imagine what The Velveteen Dream could achieve on the main roster, with his mentor being with him at all times to support and guide him.
