10 WWE Wrestlers Poised To Break Out In 2023

10. Carmelo Hayes

Hayes' arrival on the main roster seems inevitable.

Shawn Michaels has been championing the NXT man's skills for a long time now, and that'll count for a heck of a lot in Triple H's WWE. Hunter will listen to his best friend, but he can surely also see himself that Carmelo is worth bringing to Raw and/or SmackDown soon.

The two-time North American and one-time Cruiserweight Champion even won NXT's 'Breakout' Tournament in 2021. In other words, Hayes probably should've made it to the big(ger) time in WWE by now. 2023, all going smoothly, will be his year to do exactly that though.

Curious minds may wonder if Trick Williams is coming along for the ride. Trips could have other plans for him, and he might believe that Carmelo deserves the chance to fly solo for a while in the flagship spotlight. Then, and maybe only then, will WWE find out just how big a star he can be.
