5 Superstars who currently have a lot of momentum behind them

Over the last couple of weeks, WWE has managed to entertain us with some great action.

SummerSlam was one of the best pay-per-views in 2019 and since Paul Heyman took over the creative mantle on Raw, the Red Brand has improved its product considerably.

While SmackDown Live still has a lot to improve, it cannot be compared to the Red Brand as the latter has a lot more firepower in their roster.

The Wildcard Rule downplays the brand split a bit but the use of it has been slowing down over the past few weeks.

On Raw, Monday Night Rollins is still running hot with the WWE Universe as the Architect recently became a dual champion. The other main attention on the show has been the return of Sasha Banks and the rise of The Fiend.

On SmackDown, the storyline involving Roman Reigns and his mystery attacker has been the most intriguing, while the occasional episodes of the Firefly Fun House have kept the fans entertained.

In this piece, we are going to take a look at the five Superstars who are currently riding high on momentum:

#5 Kevin Owens

Ever since Kevin Owens turned face and started cutting shot-like promos against Shane McMahon, the WWE Universe can't seem to get enough of the Prizefighter.

It seems like the WWE and Vince McMahon are trying really hard to make an Owens' character similar to that of Stone Cold Steve Austin. While one can say Kevin has all the attributes to be a top babyface, it is his booking that will have the final say.

Owens has seamlessly acquired the Stone Cold Stunner as his finisher and he is presently in a feud with an authority figure, Shane McMahon.

WWE seems determined to make Owens a top babyface and now that the Prizefighter is out of the King of the Ring tournament, Vince McMahon has to make sure that Kevin doesn't suffer in his feud against Shane.

#4 Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks returned to WWE programming after a long hiatus from the company. Upon her return, Sasha went after an already-injured Natalya before assaulting Becky Lynch with multiple chair shots.

Even though the Boss returned as a heel, the WWE Universe couldn't help but get behind Banks. That tells you how over she is with the WWE Universe.

Becky's title reign has been underwhelming so far and maybe a feud with the Boss could heat things up. WWE has to book the Boss very carefully going forward as she is one of the best heels in the Women's division.

#3 Buddy Murphy

After a brief stint with 205 Live, Buddy Murphy is now on SmackDown and he is showcasing his in-ring talents brilliantly on the Blue Brand.

Right now, he is involved in the storyline involving Roman Reigns and his mystery attacker. He faced both Reigns and Daniel Bryan in consecutive weeks and while he lost his match against Reigns, he won clean against Bryan.

In both the matches, he impressed with his performances and that has earned him great praise from the WWE Universe.

It seems WWE has high expectations from Murphy and we might see him getting a huge push and possibly even a title shot.

#2 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins

Braun Strowman had a great Monday night last week as he alongside Seth Rollins won the Raw Tag Team Titles from the OC. This week, The Monster Among Men took on AJ Styles for the United States Championship which ended in a disqualification.

Strowman now has his eyes set on the Universal Title and there's a good chance that he will turn heel on Seth Rollins to set up a feud between the two.

Strowman has all the potential to be a top heel in the company and he just cannot take another setback because he has already suffered many in his up and down career with the WWE so far.

#1 Bray Wyatt a.k.a The Fiend

Before you even started reading this article, you would have probably guessed who the first one on this list might be. Without a doubt, the best thing about WWE right now is Bray Wyatt's dark persona, The Fiend.

Be it the regular episodes of Firefly Fun House or the sporadic attacks from The Fiend, everything about this character feels awesome. The unpredictability about The Fiend is what makes it such a big success as you just don't know who he might come after next. WWE

WWE has hit the jackpot with this character and they have to be extremely careful with his booking. Vince has to make The Fiend look unbeatable and dangerous, and give him a steady push.
