Wade Barrett names his top three WWE Superstars to watch in 2025DAZN
Raw commentator singles out his top three for next year.

WWE has enjoyed a fruitful 2024, with some of the biggest events in the company's history, and next year is expected to be even bigger. 

In addition to selling out shows worldwide, WWE has established several new names on Raw and SmackDown who are now considered genuine Superstars in the industry. 

As with any good evolving company, there's always a view to the future and a look at who will be the stars of tomorrow and going into 2025. 

Speaking exclusively to DAZN, thanks to AceOdds, Raw co-commentator Wade Barrett has picked out three names he believes are ones to watch in WWE over the next twelve months. 


Tiffany Stratton 

"I would say in the women's division, Tiffany Stratton, obviously Miss Money in the Bank, she's kind of almost got the golden ticket.

"It's very hard to mess that up when you have the Money in the Bank briefcase, not a guarantee. But I think she's a woman with all the tools. Physically, I think we've seen what she can do in the ring. I don't think we've seen all of her personality quite yet but I think it's going to be really good when she finally cashes in on whomever she may cash in on, she gets the gold and she becomes the focal point of the show.

"I think it's going to be really good to see what kind of level she can take her character and how she can dominate the show." 

Carmelo Hayes 

"On the men's side, I'd say Carmelo Hayes is someone I've got my eye on. I've been watching him and calling his matches for several years through NXT.

"He's on the rise right now. It's been a little bit of a slow burn with him. His stuff with Andrade has been superb, he had a big match for the United States Championship at Crown Jewel. I am really excited about what he can achieve."

Bron Breakker 

"I think this may be the biggest layup of all time, Bron Breakker.

"He is a guy, again, I've been watching several years since his beginning in NXT. He goes from strength to strength. He is an absolute sponge behind the scenes. He's constantly talking to people who can help make him better.

"He has a great mindset, physically all the tools anybody could ever wish for. I'll give a shout-out to management's handling of him. I think his build has been really good. He's been steered away from the very top echelons of WWE over the past 12 months or so. He's not mixing it up with the likes of Randy Ortons, the Gunthers, Cody Rhodes, the Drew McIntyres.

"He's keeping away from them right now because of this slow-burn build. This reminds me a lot of the Gunther build that's gone on over the past two or three years. It's a really smart way of doing it and every week it seems like Bron Breakker gets more and more dangerous and eventually that guy is going to break his way into the main event and become unstoppable."
