The first episode of WWE Raw this month provided some major highlights, including a shocking return and a huge main event win for a rising star. But which five superstars will have the biggest February?

On the Feb. 4 episode of WWE Raw, Angel Garza made his debut on the show as the latest client of Zelina Vega’s, Ruby Riott returned from her injury to attack former close friend Liv Morgan after teasing a reunion, and Ricochet won a main event Triple Threat to become Brock Lesnar‘s next challenger.

In short, it was an amazing episode that set in motion more feuds before WrestleMania 36.

But which Raw superstars are in line for the biggest month of February? Let’s take a look at five wrestlers who are poised to shine this month.

Angel Garza

Jordan Devlin’s NXT Cruiserweight Championship victory means big things for 205 Live, NXT, and NXT UK, as the rising star can help bring the three brands together, providing an additional platform for NXT UK. But fans were apprehensive about seeing Angel Garza lose the title so quickly, as he’s also an incredibly talented wrestler with a bright future ahead of him.

Now, it’s clear that the plan for Garza’s future is even bigger. Garza appeared on Raw alongside Zelina Vega, who appears to be managing Garza in addition to Andrade. But since Andrade is suspended for a wellness policy violation, Garza will be front and center.

His promo back-and-forth with real-life cousin Humberto Carrillo was excellent, and his match with Rey Mysterio was even better. Garza viciously DDT’d the legend onto the exposed concrete, which has been a trademark move in this storyline.

Garza has massive potential, and look for him to “win over” (he’s a heel, I have to be careful here!) fans in February.
