10 Wrestlers Triple H Will Save In 2023

By Gareth Morgan / January 13, 2023

While WWE programming has been far from perfect in the wake of Triple H stepping in as the company's Chief Content Officer partway through 2022, the new regime has at least brought with it a renewed sense of hope when it comes to the booking of the supremely talented folks occupying the sports entertainment giant's roster.

Since July alone, the likes of Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, and many more have been salvaged and seen their stock rise to the point where they're now regularly sitting as some of the most popular and integral elements of the main roster machine. And with 2023 now well and truly underway, you can all but guarantee that The Game will be looking to rehabilitate a number of his other floundering, under-utilised, or unfortunately mishandled sensations in the coming year.

Now, obviously, the depressingly inevitable return of the disgraced Vince McMahon as Executive Chairman of the Board could completely change the game again if the former head of creative somehow also finds a way to wiggle his way back into the Gorilla position before long.

But, with Triple H seemingly still retaining his creative role for the time being, it's time to look at those WWE stars he will likely make a top priority if he's able to keep his egomaniac father-in-law away from the booking decisions.

10. Lacey Evans

One of the biggest casualties of 2022, Lacey Evans' babyface/heel flip-flopping ultimately paved the way for the majority of the audience having next to no clue whether they were supposed to cheer or boo the SmackDown star whenever she sporadically popped up on screens.

Credit to Evans, though, as she fully threw herself into whatever was being asked of her over the course of this ever-changing period, encouraging fans to genuinely stand up and salute in the wake of bearing her soul in a series of vignettes focusing on her tough upbringing, before manipulating those same folks into turning on her shortly after.

But the damage was done on the back of a few turns too many in a relatively short space of time. And it seems as though Trips has already made it his mission to strip away the nonsense of 2022 and get Evans back to basics on the blue brand.

Fully leaning into Evans' legit military background, the latest round of engaging Lacey vignettes have boasted the loud-mouth star battering numerous foes and proving herself on many an obstacle course, with the aim clearly being to repackage her as a no-nonsense heel with a penchant for Cobra Clutching.

Here's hoping WWE have the sense to pick a side and stick with it this time around, though, eh?
