WWE Raw: 5 wrestlers primed for a huge February

Liv Morgan

I have to put Liv Morgan on here after praising Ruby Riott, because both of them will elevate each other in this feud, just as they did as partners in the Riott Squad.

While Ruby had more experience and success in NXT when the stable was first formed, Liv showed real breakout star potential and the most overall upside. She got little things over – such as a blue tongue – and showed so much emotion during her matches. Liv is a great athlete who is incredibly tough; she puts her body on the line to sell for her opponent.

And since branching out into a singles competitor, Liv has shown that she has top-notch promo work. Her babyface run in 2020 could be a star-making one on Raw, and this feud with Riott will be the first step in that direction. Get excited for this program.

Drew McIntyre

We end with the 2020 Royal Rumble winner. Drew McIntyre’s match with Brock Lesnar will surely take place at WrestleMania 36, and there’s every chance he main events the show. Roman Reigns vs. The Fiend may be the bigger match in terms of name value, and there’s still time before WWE has to make the decision. But regardless, McIntyre is a clear star after eliminating both Lesnar and Reigns in the Rumble this year.

McIntyre faced Mojo Rawley on WWE Raw this week, easily defeating the 24/7 champion. And the way in which the former “Chose One” won was chilling. He predicted he would vanquish Mojo in mere seconds and followed up on his promise.

There’s a tendency for McIntyre to do this. He cuts an ominous promo predicting a big win and then does it. McIntyre is a different kind of babyface with his intensity, but it works so well. Look for him to continue to boost his stock in February as WWE get him ready for The Beast at the Show of Shows in April.
