Zelina Vega's unnamed stable consisting of United States Champion Andrade, Angel Garza, and Austin Theory (formerly), has received much attention on RAW for the past several weeks. From going after the RAW Tag Team titles at WrestleMania 36 to hunting the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, Vega's group is a smart one for sure.
On this past Monday's edition of RAW, Austin Theory was kicked out of the aforementioned stable. This happened after Theory accidentally cost Garza and Andrade their match against the returning Kevin Owens and Apollo Crews. Even prior to the match, WWE had been teasing tension between Theory and his stablemates.
Now with just two Superstars by her side, it is almost a given that Zelina Vega will be on the lookout for a new member to join her stable. Even though the possibilities are endless, Theory's replacement should be someone who can benefit from having a charismatic manager as Zelina Vega as his voice.
That being said, here is a list of five Superstars who Zelina Vega should consider adding to her group next.
#5 Humberto Carrillo
You may have heard the saying "desperate times call for desperate measures". This perfectly applies to Humberto Carrillo's main roster status. Although the guy boasts an impressive moveset, his character needs solid work. A heel turn by aligning with Vega can do wonders for the young Superstar.
But how does it make sense, considering that Carrillo has battled Angel Garza (real-life cousin) and Andrade numerous times over the past year? Well, there are countless ways in which he can be brought in. For starters, Zelina Vega can make him an offer he can't refuse. Something along the lines of how there's strength in numbers and how important it is for Carrillo to have a direction in order to succeed.
If this happens, WWE would be able to showcase Carrillo's strengths while hiding his weaknesses at the same time. It would be a win-win situation for all the parties involved.
#4 Brendan Vink
This is an underrated choice for Zelina Vega's group but one that has potential for sure. NXT Superstar Brendan Vink, alongside tag partner Shane Thorne, has been a mainstay on RAW post-WrestleMania 36.
Even though MVP expressed interest in managing the duo, it looks like those plans were dropped. MVP has aligned himself with Bobby Lashley and hasn't addressed the duo since he invited them to the VIP Lounge following their victory against Ricochet and Cedric Alexander on May 4, 2020 edition of RAW.
Of late, rumors have started circulating around the web suggesting that Brendan Vink is in line to receive a major push soon. Even though he is a charismatic Superstar with decent wrestling chops, he needs to get over with the WWE Universe before he can receive a considerable push.
While partnering with MVP could provide him with a platform to grow on, an association with Zelina Vega won't hurt either. By associating himself with the likes of Andrade and Angel Garza, Vink will have a far better chance at succeeding than risking getting overlooked in MVP's stable that includes Lashley and will likely add more members over time.
What's in it for Zelina Vega's group? They get a big man who can help solve the group's problems with a devastating Running Big Boot. What's there to think about?
#3 Dominik Dijakovic
Dominik Dijakovic has been a prominent part of NXT since the Black and Gold brand went live on the USA Network. However, over the last couple of weeks, it has started looking like the Creative doesn't have any solid plans for him currently. He came up short of winning the North American Championship against Keith Lee and ended up on the losing side against Johnny Gargano also.
Maybe it's time for the 33-year-old to make the move to Monday nights. And what better way to make a solid first impression than by aligning with a villainous crew? Dijakovic can either join Rollins' or Vega's stable since both factions could use a muscleman. However, we are inclining more towards the latter!
Being Zelina Vega's brawler to protect her clients sounds more fitting for Dijakovic than becoming a blind follower of the Monday Night Messiah.
Although he stands at 6 feet 7 inches tall, Dijakovic can do moves that most athletes of his size can't. His agility is unrivaled and he will mesh well with the wrestling styles of Angel Garza and Andrade.
#2 The Big Show
While having a muscleman or an enforcer is essential for a stable to thrive, star power is equally important. And guess what? The Big Show is certainly suitable for both roles. Although the World's Largest Athlete has taken a backseat from wrestling in the last couple of years, he still pops up every now and then. Most recently, he challenged Drew McIntyre in a losing effort on the RAW after WrestleMania 36.
A week later, Zelina Vega's group initiated an on-and-off feud with the WWE Champion as well. However, Andrade, Angel Garza, and Austin Theory have all been unable to keep the Scottish Psychopath down for a 3-count so far.
With assistance from The Big Show, Zelina Vega's group can surely get even with the WWE Champion. The Showster doesn't even need to be with the group at all times. A short association of a couple of months in which The Big Show appears alongside Andrade, Angel Garza, and Zelina Vega every other week can provide the group with some much-needed credibility.
#1 Rey Mysterio
You knew it was coming, right? Perhaps the most outrageous, yet the most sensible choice by a long-shot. In the previous section, we stated how important it is for a stable of young talents to have someone who can provide the group with star power.
When you look at Zelina Vega's group, it comprises of Latino Superstars. And who is the most popular Latino wrestler in WWE today? The Master of the 619, Rey Mysterio. And for nearly two years now, Mysterio is the one who has been backing the idea of reforming the Latino World Order.
Although it will require WWE some insane storytelling to convince us that Rey Mysterio is ready to bury the hatchet with arch-rivals Andrade and Angel Garza and side with Zelina Vega, it has the potential to be worth it.
Getting a chance to see a heel Rey Mysterio for the first time ever in WWE is something fans have been clamoring for a long time. And if it coincides with Mysterio's vision of the LWO, expect nothing short of greatness. The icing on the top is that we can probably witness the rise of the next big Latino Superstar under Rey Mysterio's guidance with Zelina Vega masterminding the whole thing.
