5 WWE stars who should receive a push after the 2021 draft

It could be argued that someone of AJ Styles’ caliber does not need a push in WWE. The Phenomenal One is already an established superstar and he has achieved more in five years than some people do in their entire career.

With that being said, Styles’ partnership with Omos feels like it has gone as far as it can go. The two men lost the RAW Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam to RK-Bro and their fortunes have not improved since.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Styles lost against Randy Orton on the latest episode of RAW, meaning he has now lost 11 of his last 14 singles matches on television. Granted, wins and losses do not count for much in WWE, but that statistic is alarming considering that Styles has Omos watching his back.

While Styles has undoubtedly helped Omos’ career over the last year, his own credibility as a singles competitor has gone downhill. The only way to make the two-time WWE Champion a serious title challenger again is to give him a singles push after the draft.

It remains to be seen whether WWE’s higher-ups even want Styles in the World Championship picture again. But if the likes of Bobby Lashley, 45, and Goldberg, 54, can challenge for major titles, there is no reason why 44-year-old Styles cannot.
