#2. Big E - The next big star on SmackDown?
Unlike some of the other superstars on this list, Big E has been getting a consistent push on SmackDown. When WWE split The New Day and put Big E as a singles star on SmackDown last year, it was clear what the direction was.
WWE was finally going to capitalize on Big E's potential as a singles superstar and it's been happening ever since. One Intercontinental Championship reign later, Big E seems to be moving in only one direction - forward.
When looking at the young stars on SmackDown that WWE is pushing, Big E seems to be the top priority. Hopefully, he doesn't get drafted to RAW because he has a bigger chance of becoming a top star on SmackDown.
Moreover, it's now WWE's "A-Show" and, with a higher viewership, there are more eyes to watch Big E's rise on SmackDown. Big E could serve as a future opponent to Roman Reigns and it was teased on the first SmackDown with crowds back.
If Roman Reigns has an extremely long reign as the Universal Champion, then Big E might be the superstar who benefits by taking his throne on SmackDown.
