5 WWE RAW and SmackDown Superstars that could benefit from a manager or a mouthpiece

Some WWE Superstars just cannot cut a very convincing promo

Roman Reigns from SmackDown was always a top guy but has become a significantly bigger deal since his alliance with Paul Heyman. The same benefit can be seen in someone like Cedric Alexander from WWE RAW, who's reached a whole new level after entering MVP's stable.

The fact of the matter is that certain stars on WWE RAW and SmackDown could benefit from having someone as their mouthpiece, either as part of a stable or with a manager on his/her side. We shall mention 5 such superstars in this list, and we welcome you to chime in with your own picks as well.


#5 WWE SmackDown star Lars Sullivan

Not only could SmackDown star Lars Sullivan benefit from having a mouthpiece in his corner, because it is generally a good idea to pair a monster up with a manager but honestly, his promo work leaves a lot to be desired as well.

Lars Sullivan has struggled to convincingly convey the idea that he is a freak in his promo segments with Corey Graves thus far and so, a manager who conveys the terror that Lars Sullivan is known to bring forth could really benefit him in the long run.

It could be similar to how Braun Strowman benefited from his alliance with Bray Wyatt before he was ready to branch out on his own and become a top star in how own right.

Someone like Robert Stone could definitely be a good manager for the big man, and honestly, if Lio Rush had still remained with the company, he could have been a very good manager for the big man.

Feel free to suggest more managers who could be the ideal fit for Lars Sullivan, to lead the SmackDown star to the next level.

#4 Andrade, who is neither on WWE RAW nor SmackDown at this particular point in time

Andrade is out with an injury at the moment and that means that he's neither been drafted to WWE RAW nor has he been drafted to SmackDown at the moment.

Unfortunately, SmackDown star Zelina Vega has been released from the company meaning that when Andrade does return to the company at a later date, she will not be by his side to cut promos for him.

One possibility that exists for Andrade on the WWE RAW brand is that he could potentially return as a power couple with his real-life partner Charlotte Flair in his corner, who is a fantastic promo in her own right.

And maybe if he does return on the SmackDown brand, he could benefit from having someone like Sami Zayn aligned with him, cutting promos for the talented young man.

Andrade has a bright future, but he needs someone to talk for him.

Can you guys think of any potential managers for this highly talented man?

#3 WWE RAW star Tucker, formerly of Heavy Machinery

When WWE RAW star Tucker turned heel, we imagined that he would be in for a very big push, but now he has been relegated to the 24/7 Championship picture with no sign of anything changing for him.

Whether he continues to wrestle on his own or as a member of the Alpha Academy with Chad Gable, we know that SmackDown star Otis is safe, as far as his position in the WWE roster is concerned. On the other hand, unless someone drastic happens to WWE RAW star Tucker immediately, he may slip and slide down the ranks continuously.

Hopefully, he could be aligned with someone like Mustafa Ali very soon indeed so that he can potentially join the RETRIBUTION stable so that he could ascend the ranks.

Tucker is a pretty decent promo and honestly, if he is allowed to talk on WWE RAW, he can get over on his own.

But at the same time, having a manager is so much more than a mouthpiece, and Tucker needs one immediately.

#2 WWE RAW Women's Champion Asuka

It would be a blatant lie if one was to state that Asuka going into histrionics in her native tongue on the WWE RAW brand wasn't entertaining. But at the same time, the WWE RAW Women's Championship picture could really benefit from having Asuka team up with someone who could do her talking for her. As great as she is and as entertaining as she is, English is not Asuka's first language, and she could really benefit from having Paige in her corner once again.

When the bell rings, Asuka can hold her own better than almost anyone in the WWE RAW or SmackDown roster, male or female, but at the end of the day, none of her feuds become as intense as the one between Sasha Banks and Bayley because of the unfortunate language barrier.

This is a very easy issue to overcome, and there are several candidates who could become the mouthpiece for Asuka over the long haul. Maybe Paul Heyman could take on a female client?

#1 JBL expressed his willingness to manage SmackDown star, King Corbin, on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted

Now, picking someone like SmackDown star King Corbin ahead of, say, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura or the Lucha House Party may seem like a controversial decision, but this is something that was pitched by WWE Hall of Fame-elect JBL himself.

JBL expressed his willingness to manage none other than prolific SmackDown star King Corbin during a Sportskeeda interview. In fact, JBL actually went on to state that he thinks the world of Corbin and because you don't want a manager who's taller than the wrestler, Corbin and JBL would make a perfect alliance.

And let's be honest, the whole 'king' shtick with Corbin has run past its due date, and a possible new gimmick with JBL by his side could be the best course of action for this SmackDown star.

Feel free to glance through the RAW and SmackDown rosters and let us know a few WWE Superstars, who, in your opinion, could certainly benefit from having a manager and maybe even a significant change in character.
