5 WWE Superstars Vince McMahon is currently looking to push

Over the recent weeks, Vince McMahon and the rest of his WWE team have been forced to conduct shows behind closed doors due to the massive COVID-19 outbreak. However, it is safe to say that majority of the Superstars from the present-day roster have stepped up big-time in order to deliver matches of the highest quality.

Working without the presence of an audience is certainly not everyone's cup of tea, however, some WWE Superstars have done a fairly good job, whereas, the absence of the WWE Universe hasn't been kind for some.

Regardless of that, the post-WrestleMania season is usually meant for WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and co. to push new faces further into the main event scene or have them compete at the highest possible level in the company's mid-card, at least. Some of the options picked by WWE obviously turn out to be pretty bizarre, for specific reasons of course, but love it or hate it, witnessing fresh faces finally get their opportunity is always a good feeling.

WrestleMania 36 also witnessed the conclusion to several storylines in WWE and much like every year, the aftermath of WWE's grandest annual event saw several fresh faces featuring more often on WWE TV, indicating towards the fact that they are the ones who are set for a mega push for this year's post-WrestleMania season. And, of course, the ones who will try their best to further impress the boss, Vince McMahon.

With that being said, in this list, we will take an in-depth look at 5 WWE Superstars Vince McMahon is currently high-on and is looking to push. Let's get started.

#5 Nia Jax

Nia Jax

Similar to former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, former RAW Women's Champion, Nia Jax also made her return to WWE TV during the post-WrestleMania 36 season. She resumed her dominance once again, as she took out Deonna Purrazzo in a squash match on her first night back in the company.

What followed next was wins over former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, Kairi Sane and it certainly looks like Jax is on course to run over the RAW Women's Division once again, regardless of who the champion is.

In the past, WWE and Vince McMahon have been quite high with Nia Jax and the company provided quite the limelight to the former RAW Women's Champion. If things go accordingly once again, then we could possibly witness Nia Jax in-charge of the Red brand's women's division.

#4 Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal was sidelined with a knee injury last June and was bound to be out of action for at least six to twelve months. However, on April 27, 2020 edition of Monday Night RAW, the former WWE Champion finally made his return to WWE TV and defeated Akira Tozawa. This could be a step made by Vince McMahon to book him in a strong manner going forward.

Mahal's return was quite well-received by the fans on social media and since then, rumors have circulated the internet, speculating the fact that Mahal is in line for a huge push upon his return. So much so, The Modern Day Maharaja could possibly end up challenging Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship, as well if things go according to Vince McMahon's plans.

After all, WWE themselves teased the possibility of Mahal vs McIntyre for the WWE Title right after the former's return, and on this week's RAW, we witnessed Mahal teasing a potential face turn. If that doesn't speak volumes on how high Vince McMahon and the company is on Jinder Mahal, then I don't what will.

A feud between former 3MB stablemates in the form of Mahal and McIntyre is not the best idea on the planet right now but it isn't even the worst. It could be an exciting feud given both men's history together in WWE but if you ask me, the right call that should be made by Vince McMahon and the company would be to have McIntyre still walk out with the WWE Title after a feud against Mahal. And, I'm sure a lot will agree with me on that one!

#3 Asuka

Asuka

Now, obviously from this list I've decided to exclude all the newly crowned champions for fairly obvious reasons, including new WWE World Champions, Drew McIntyre, and Braun Strowman. However, I couldn't leave out the new RAW Women's Champion, Asuka from this list as she has been booked well by Vince McMahon and the creative team.

Currently, on the back of a lengthy reign as WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, Asuka and her tag team partner, Kairi Sane, lost their titles to Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross at WWE WrestleMania 36.

The defeat, however, eventually turned to be a blessing for The Empress of Tomorrow, as she once again broke out as a singles competitor and earned a spot at this year's Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Not only did Asuka earn herself a spot but also went on to win the briefcase and that also lead to her being crowned as the new RAW Women's Champion on this week's edition of WWE RAW, without even having to go through the struggle of cashing-in her MITB briefcase.

Asuka seems to be in the good books of the WWE management and Vince McMahon, as she now has the privilege of enjoying one more reign as Women's Champion. However, based on her booking by Vince McMahon, we can figure out how-much WWE has decided to invest into 'The Empress of Tomorrow'.

#2 Apollo Crews

Apollo Crews

Another surprising name who was featured prominently on the Red brand of Monday Night RAW in the aftermath of WrestleMania 36, is non-other than Apollo Crews. The former NXT sensation has always been an afterthought on the main roster and was mostly used as an enhancement talent by the company, with the exception of a few solid matches that he put up. However, after WrestleMania 36, everything pretty much changed for the former Uhaa Nation and he has been getting a solid push by Vince McMahon.

Crews regularly featured on TV in recent weeks and had also earned himself a spot at the 2020 Money in the Bank Ladder Match. However, an untimely injury (in kayfabe) took him out of the match. But, that doesn't mean the push from Vince McMahon and the WWE creative is coming to an end.

Also before being sidelined, Crews was featured in high-profile matches against the likes of reigning WWE United States Champion, Andrade, and was seen in an instant classic against Aleister Black which almost lasted till 30 minutes. This initially gave the WWE Universe an idea on how over Apollo is with the management and if reports suggest correctly, then the former NXT sensation could be in line for a big push for by Vince McMahon and co.

Upon his return, rumors have strongly suggested that Apollo could be joining MVP's newest faction on WWE RAW, which could also consist of Bobby Lashley, who for one, is finally showing some deep-character intensity.

Apollo has already shown a change in character but if things go accordingly, then we could even witness a highly-talked of a heel turn in the near future if Vince McMahon would like to pull the trigger on it.

#1 Aleister Black

Aleister Black

Aleister Black is a top superstar competing in today's WWE. He is amazingly good in the ring, can cut high-intensity promos, and has a solid character work, as well. Black is a total package and deserves every bit of his push at the moment from Vince McMahon.

The former NXT Champion was recently involved in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match and while many believed that Black would walk out with the briefcase, as the eventual winner of the match, things quite exactly didn't work out as planned for him.

Black was thrown from the roof of the Titan Towers by King Corbin (All in kayfabe, of course). If we look at what happened this week on RAW, it means that The Dutch Destroyer could enter a feud with Seth Rollins which would be a great decision by Vince McMahon and the creatives.

There is also no surprise to the fact that Black is highly-praised by backstage WWE personnel including Paul Heyman, who is reportedly very impressed with the former NXT Champion and could be the mastermind behind his push in WWE.

Nevertheless, fans definitely shouldn't be surprised if Black enters the main event scene very soon as that could be the direction Vince McMahon has for him.
