Professional wrestling is the world in which tremendously massive characters face each other by jaw-dropping athletic performance entertaining millions of spectators across the globe. It also showcased that while a few special talents get the glamour of the spotlight at any given time, several gifted entrants are hindered from fully showcasing their skills and performingܫ at the top level on more than a sporadic basis even if given all the right tools. When we begin 2025 it is about time that these unknowns get the spotlight on them and the squared circle. Here are 10 wrestlers who need a push in 2025 but most probably won’t get it.
1. Chad Gable
ౠ
Chad Gable is one of the most talented wrestlers when it comes to in-ring work anywhere in the world. An amateur wrestler by trade, the proprietor of Gable consistently displays a clinic on how things should go down in the squared circle. He is one of the most beloved wrestlers due to his talent for comedy though his character has been often stuck in mediocre mid-carder role; this could be the year that he will make the jump to the true top star contender if not a bonafide star.
2. Ricky Starks
ꦫ
Whether it’s his brash persona on the microphone or the sheer fact that the man can go in between the ropes, it’s hard not to see Ricky Starks as a future main event talent. At times he can display immense quality, but more often he is ranked just one step below the best. A solid push in 2025 could see him capture a world title and finally solidify his place as a top guy.
3. Liv Morgan
🧸
There is no doubt that H/T Liv Morgan is very popular with the fans. She has massively developed on the wresting ring and is now able to pro-actively deliver robust matches and favored story arcs. She has had a few big moments, she still awaits the push that could turn her into one of the figureheads of the Women’s Division.
4. Swerve Strickland
Swerve Strickland𓆉’s creativity and charisma make him one of the most interesting people in wrestling. His heel persona is a spark, and his in-ring work is excellent – he shows a tremendous amount of variety. This role has significant potential with Strickland being a probable top singles star in making if enough emphasis would be placed on him for a breakout in 2025..
5. Ricochet
♎
or is it well known, he became well known due to the aerial stunts that he performs, which actually are some of the greatest moments in gaming history. And yet again he is displayed as a typical ‘dumped’ athlete who is employed for the task of making others look good
𒅌instead of being booked for a main attraction. I have it on authority that with the right amount of promotion, Ricochet is literally ripe to be billed as a top star for any major promotion.
6. Toni Storm
♒
Toni Storm can brag about the astounding combination of strength, in-ring ability, and personality. Although she has had some success, there are many signs that she can be a focal in the women’s division but has not quite cracked it yet. A big push in 2025 could put her where she should be at the apex of the card rankings.
7. Mustafa Ali
🌳
He is a philosopher in the ring and a great orator like Mustafa Ali. For all the aerial acrobatics he performs in the ring, to the passion filled promos he delivers, Ali has all the tools of a world champion. His demise is something fans have embraced because he is a very hard worker and if a proper storyline is found then 2025 may well be the year he gets his break..
8. Athena
⛎
Once known as Ember Moon, Athena’s current work on the independent scene and smaller promotions has been nothing short of brilliant. Her unique offense and intensity set her apart from others in her division. A 2025 push could see her make a triumphant return to a major promotion’s main event scene.
9. Bronson Reed
🌄
Bronson Reed’s size and power make him a natural monster heel, but he’s more than just a "big man" wrestler. His agility and presence give him a unique edge. Reed’s current role as an enforcer-style competitor could be expanded with a push toward the main event picture in 2025.
10. Tyler Bate
𝐆
Tyler Bate is one of the best pure wrestlers of his generation. His matches are often technical masterpieces, but he’s yet to be given a significant run at the top. With his skill set and natural charisma, a major push in 2025 could finally make him the star he’s destined to be.
