4 WWE stars Triple H needs to push before the end of 2025

Triple H has done a remarkable job revitalizing WWE’s roster, but a few top-tier names are still waiting for their true resurgence. With the Royal Rumble and the Road to WrestleMania getting close, this might be the perfect time for the company to get some deserving names back on top to elevate the hype for the Grandest Stage of them all.

Considering the current scenario, numerous superstars have been waiting for the push they deserve, and fans have been rallying behind them despite their poor booking. With the massive challenge of hosting WrestleMania in Las Vegas consecutively, the company needs the support of fans, and the only way to get it is by giving the fans what they want. Let’s check out a few names the company must push this year, which might elevate the hype for the Grandest Stage of them all as well.

#4. Carmelo Hayes

Carmelo Hayes has been on the sidelines ever since The Miz betrayed him on the blue brand, halting what was shaping up to be an impressive main-roster rise. Once one of NXT’s brightest stars, Hayes’ talent is currently being wasted with no proper opportunities given to the star.

Triple H needs to reestablish Hayes as a major player by giving him decisive wins and meaningful feuds. A storyline redemption arc, possibly involving payback against The Miz, could reignite his career and set up the momentum for a brilliant performance in the Royal Rumble match.

#3. Finn Balor

Finn Balor’s future appears uncertain following Judgment Day’s internal friction, especially after the faction didn’t help Dominik Mysterio in his Intercontinental Title loss on RAW this week. With the tensions rising, a breakup between the stars looks inevitable, and that’s precisely what Balor needs.

A singles push against Mysterio could reignite Balor’s career ahead of the Royal Rumble, allowing him to showcase his talent and character work once again. Triple H must capitalize on this moment by turning Balor face and booking him as a top-tier talent on the red brand.

#2. LA Knight

LA Knight’s momentum has cooled in recent months, with inconsistent booking and massive losses derailing his main-event potential. Once one of the hottest acts in WWE, the Megastar now risks being overshadowed by younger talent ahead of the Royal Rumble season.

Considering the massive draw he is and the level of excitement fans have seeing him at the top, this might be the perfect opportunity for WWE to present the star as a massive name once again.

#1. Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre’s heel persona has been one of 2025’s most intriguing character evolutions, but the star has not been pushed to the level he deserves. With Survivor Series approaching, McIntyre could get involved with The Vision, which could be the spark needed to elevate his feud with Cody Rhodes.

If executed well, this rivalry could lead to McIntyre potentially winning the Undisputed WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble 2026. With the company having the perfect opportunity to begin the work for WrestleMania, fans will have to wait and see what WWE has in store for the stars next.
