Wrestling is something very unpredictable, because in one year things can change a lot, for example, last year IYO SKY appeared at SummerSlam together with Bayley and Dakota Kai, and this year she is the Women's Champion. On the other hand, things can stay exactly the same, as is the case with Roman Reigns, who is still champion and still on top of the company.
Now imagine how many things could change in five years, or some things could stay the same, maybe? Some wrestlers popular today will perhaps be irrelevant five years from now, they will lose the spotlight and their skills will deteriorate. On the other hand, new top stars will probably emerge, who will become WWE main eventers.
10 Will Be Irrelevant: Matt Riddle
Matt Riddle is a pretty popular wrestler these days, as fans like him, despite how annoying and silly his character can be. However, Riddle is not an indispensable player in WWE, which is why he will eventually become irrelevant.
Riddle may still have good times ahead of him, but in five years he will be a filler wrestler on the WWE roster, thus he won't be involved in major storylines or major matches.
9 Will Be Main Eventer: Gunther
Gunther is arguably the best WWE Intercontinental Champion of all time, and he will soon break the record for the longest Intercontinental Title reign. He is a fantastic wrestler, and he is about to become a main eventer.
Gunther will be a top star in WWE sooner rather than later, and, in five years, he will be at the top of the card, headlining PPVs, delivering amazing matches, and dominating his opponents. Gunther is destined to be a megastar.
8 Will Be Irrelevant: Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss is pregnant right now, and there is no telling when we will see her back in a WWE ring. Alexa most likely won't wrestle until late 2024 or maybe 2025.
Bliss may get a warm welcome, and maybe she will still be relevant then, but in five years she will be 37 years old, she will be a mother, and maybe wrestling will not be her priority, so she will not be a relevant wrestler, and there is even a possibility that she will be retired.
7 Will Be Main Eventer: Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley is WWE's most dominant female wrestler, and one of the best female wrestlers in the world right now. However, she is technically not a main eventer, because she has yet to headline a PPV, and she didn't even compete at SummerSlam.
But five years from now, The Eradicator will likely have already headlined several PPVs, including WrestleMania, and by then, at the age of 31, Ripley should be in her prime, and therefore she will still continue to dominate WWE’s women's division.
6 Will Be Irrelevant: Karrion Kross
Karrion Kross returned to WWE by making an impact, as he attacked none other than Drew McIntyre. Since then, fans have lost interest in Kross, but he remains a relevant wrestler, having feuds with superstars like Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles.
However, in five years, if Kross is still working for WWE, he will no longer be relevant, the fans will have grown bored with him, and Triple H will have given up on him as well.
5 Will Be Main Eventer: Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes is already a main eventer, as he is one of the main eventers on Monday Night Raw right now, he headlined WrestleMania 39 and will probably headline WrestleMania 40.
Well, five years from now, The American Nightmare will still be a main eventer, but then we will be able to call him World Champion. The next five years for Rhodes will be great, and in 2028 he will be considered an all-time great and one of the best wrestlers of the 2020s.
4 Will Be Irrelevant: Damian Priest
Damian Priest is one of the most relevant wrestlers in WWE right now, as he is Mr. Money In The Bank, and has a golden shot to become World Champion. Priest is going through the best phase of his career, and he has to take advantage of it.
Nevertheless, in five years Priest’s momentum will likely be over, and he will be an irrelevant wrestler. He will be 46 years old, and his in-ring skills are going to be deteriorating, and that’s precisely why he will lose the spotlight.
3 Will Be Main Eventer: LA Knight
LA Knight is one of the most over wrestlers in the world right now, it's really amazing how the fans go crazy and shout "YEAH" everywhere he goes. That's why LA Knight is expected to become a main eventer in 2024.
It is hard for that level of popularity to be maintained for five years, but even if it decreases a little, he will still be very popular. Therefore, LA Knight will still be a main eventer in 2028.
2 Will Be Irrelevant: Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa made his main roster debut at Clash At The Castle when he helped Roman Reigns defeat Drew McIntyre. Thus, Sikoa was thrown into WWE's hottest storyline, becoming part of The Bloodline and being relevant ever since.
However, once Sikoa separates from Roman Reigns and starts having his own feuds, he won't make as big of an impact, and eventually, maybe in five years, he will no longer be a relevant wrestler.
1 Will Be Main Eventer: Grayson Waller
Triple H and other WWE "higher-ups" expect great things from Grayson Waller, who has already shown his talent, both in the ring and on the microphone, on the main roster.
So, it is likely that Waller will become a big star and eventually become a main eventer. In 2028, Waller will be one of the top wrestlers in WWE, and maybe even a World Champion.
