The Boss, Vince McMahon!

Vince McMahon has been a pioneer for the industry of pro wrestling. It was his vision that made WWE a global phenomenon and the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. While there have been numerous discussions among the WWE Universe on the Chairman of WWE losing his golden touch in recent years, but the fact remains that he still is the one who runs the company and calls the shots.

Throughout history, we've seen many Superstars impress Vince McMahon and reach the top of the company - headlining PPVs, WrestleManias, and becoming mainstream celebrities. It goes without saying that if the Boss sees something in you, the chances of you getting a push as a main event star increase substantially.

In the current WWE roster as well, there are a few Superstars who Vince McMahon sees as the future of the company. Let's take a look at five of them in this article. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts on these Superstars and whether you think they are indeed the future of WWE.


#5 Keith Lee

Keith Lee has been one of the standout NXT Superstars in the last one year or so. Having signed with the company in 2018, the Limitless One is the current NXT North American Champion. As part of NXT's Survivor Series men's team in 2019, Keith Lee had a great showing on the PPV, pinning the likes of Seth Rollins and almost winning it all for his team.

He later made an appearance at the 2020 Royal Rumble and went head to head with Brock Lesnar. While the Beast Incarnate managed to topple him over the top rope, a future rivalry between Keith Lee and Lesnar would be amazing.

There have been reports of Vince McMahon being high on Keith Lee and if his past two main roster appearances are anything to go by, Vince might have found a future World Champion.

#4 Aleister Black

Aleister Black is one of the best in-ring performers on the WWE roster and has one of the most interesting characters as well. From his cryptic backstage promos to a thrilling entrance and hard-hitting moves, he's someone who the WWE Universe loves to watch. Some are even comparing him to possibly be the successor of The Undertaker, thanks to his eerie gimmick.

According to the rumors, the management is very happy with Aleister Black. He especially has the support of the Executive Director of Monday Night RAW, Paul Heyman who reportedly even campaigned for him to win this year's Royal Rumble and face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. While that did not happen, the Dutch Destroyer has been one of the most dominant Superstars on RAW, defeating the likes of AJ Styles, Bobby Lashley, and many others.

Currently, he is in a feud with Seth Rollins, and the way in which he is getting pushed, Vince McMahon is definitely grooming him for the main event spot in the near future. The former NXT Champion looks set to dominate the main roster!

#3 Cal Bloom

While many not know him, the second-generation WWE Superstars Cal Bloom has impressed Vince McMahon, and the WWE Chairman reportedly sees him as a future main event star in the company.

Bloom, the son of former WWE Superstar Wayne Bloom, recently made his SmackDown debut and faces Sheamus. While he wasn't able to pick up the victory, his performance showcased his caliber, impressing many officials backstage.

According to a report from Paul Davis, the following was the reaction to Bloom's arrival in WWE and his growth since March -

"I’ve heard from people in WWE who have seen Cal Bloom’s training at the Performance Center and have said that he is someone who can be a main event Superstar in the next couple of years. 'Everyone is comparing him to a young Edge,' said one WWE source. 'He is rough around the edges but he has something and Vince thinks he can be a big deal...' The coaches at the Performance Center have also had good things to say about him."

Let's hope we get to see more of him in the years to come. If he continues to impress everyone in the same manner, there's nothing to stop him from succeeding!

#2 Asuka

The current RAW Women's Champion Asuka has been a fan-favorite since her time in NXT. Having an unbeaten run on the Black and Gold brand of WWE, she vacated her NXT Women's Championship and came to the main roster. While she had a great start on RAW initially, even winning the inaugural Women's Royal Rumble match in 2018, she lost her steam after a loss to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34.

Not long ago, WWE tried to tweak her character and gave her a funnier persona with her continuously speaking and shouting in her native language. Her on-screen antics immediately struck a chord with the fans who were highly entertained by her segments.

It was reported last month that Vince McMahon has been very impressed with Asuka's work recently and we saw the signs of the same as she won this year's Women's Money in the Bank match. As we know, the match turned out to be for the RAW Women's Championship with Becky Lynch leaving due to her pregnancy. With The Man gone and the Empress of Tomorrow as the RAW Women's Champion, she looks set to dominate the roster on the red brand.

#1 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre's exit from WWE, his return and the subsequent rise to the top of the roster has been nothing short of a dream run for him. The Scottish Psychopath returned to WWE in 2017 and after a brief run in NXT as the NXT Champion, moved to the main roster the following year.

While he had some mediocre feuds initially, he continued impressing everyone with his improved in-ring skills and a new attitude. It was at Royal Rumble 2020 where he got his big break as he went on to win the match. He wasted no time in making his intentions clear to go after Brock Lesnar's WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36. Throughout the build-up to their feud, Drew McIntyre dominated the Beast Incarnate multiple times and finally defeated him convincingly at the Show of Shows to become the new WWE Champion.

As reported, Vince McMahon sees Drew McIntyre as the next big babyface of the company. His reign with the WWE title so far has been amazing and by the looks of it, he's not losing it anytime soon. He is arguably the biggest babyface on the WWE roster currently and with his new-found charisma, the man deserves every bit of the success that he's getting!
