#4. Stephanie Vaquer

Stephanie Vaquer established herself as one of the top stars in the Mexican wrestling promotion, CMLL. She was recently involved in a feud with Mercedes Moné at AEW's Forbidden Door Pay-Per-View. Despite the loss, she gained a lot of acclaim for her performance.

Earlier this month, news broke that Vaquer had signed with WWE just days after her AEW appearance. She even made her WWE debut during a house show in Mexico City and will now be reportedly heading to Florida as part of the NXT roster. The expectations among fans for the 31-year-old star are huge, and it will be interesting to see what's next for the talented star moving forward.

#3. Ethan Page

Ethan Page had a promising start to his AEW career when he signed with the Jacksonville-based promotion in 2021. He was part of the faction, Men of the Year, alongside Scorpio Sky and Dan Lambert, which was quite popular with the fans.

Page was involved in some high-profile matches against the likes of Sting, Darby Allin, Bryan Danielson, and Kenny Omega. However, despite his talent, fans felt he was being underutilized in AEW. Towards the end of his run, he was even sent back to Ring of Honor (RoH) when he wasn't featured on AEW television.

After his contract ran out, he signed with WWE earlier this year and made a shocking appearance on NXT, attacking the NXT Champion Trick Williams. Within six weeks, Ethan Page announced his arrival in WWE as he became the new NXT Champion and continues to reign supreme.

#2. Giulia

Many fans believe Giulia is currently one of the best in-ring talents in the women's division. She had already established herself as one of the top stars in Japan during her tenures in both New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and World Wonder Ring Stardom.

Earlier this year, it was reported that the 30-year-old star signed a deal with WWE and was set to move to NXT. She even made an appearance in the crowd at NXT Stand & Deliver during the WrestleMania 40 weekend, indicating that she was about to make her debut soon.

However, she suffered a wrist injury and has since been out of action. Despite this setback, anticipation is sky-high among fans for Giulia's eventual debut with the Stamford-based company.

#1. The Bloodline continues to grow on WWE SmackDown

The Bloodline has undergone a massive overhaul since Roman Reigns' defeat at WrestleMania 40. In his absence, Solo Sikoa has stepped up as the new Tribal Chief and made significant additions to the faction. Former Bullet Club member Tama Tonga made his WWE debut by ruthlessly attacking Jimmy Uso on Solo's orders during an episode of SmackDown after WrestleMania, joining The Bloodline.

Weeks later, The Bloodline made another huge addition when Tama Tonga's brother, Tonga Loa, debuted at Backlash, helping Tama and Solo secure a win over the duo of Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. However, the most dangerous addition to the group has been Jacob Fatu. The 32-year-old star's unreal athleticism and explosiveness are a sight to behold, elevating this iteration of The Bloodline to new heights, in his role as The Enforcer of the group.

Fatu made an instant impact by viciously attacking Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens all on his own during his debut and even helped secure a win for the group at Money in the Bank. It will be interesting to see how all these new signings interact with Roman Reigns when he makes his eventual return.
