10 Biggest WWE Success Stories Of 2023
Sensational factions, mid-card titans, and unlikely main event heroes.
2023 will likely go down in history as one of WWE's most successful years... ever.
On top of breaking numerous attendance records, producing countless memorable Moments, and boasting some pretty impressive ratings, the company have also found a way to get the very best out of a number of their unquestionably talented performers.
Admittedly, some of these folks have been given more opportunities and time to shine than others since the beginning of the year. But everyone from once overlooked technical superworkers to a rather dramatic family have still all managed to achieve an unexpected and/or ridiculously impressive amount of success so far in 2023.
And in some cases, this could simply be the beginning.
As 2022 reached its conclusion, did you expect to soon be screaming "YEAH!" at the top of your lungs every time a certain leather-vest wearing loud-mouth strutted onto your screen? And did you honestly imagine a certain saga could get any better after this year's jaw-dropping 'Show of Shows'?
Probably not. So, it's time to celebrate those WWE wrestlers who have experienced one of the finest years of their careers, managed to incredibly avoid becoming yesterday's news, or even gotten more over than ever before in 2023.
10. The LWO
Back in January, the likes of Santos Escobar and the rest of his Legado del Fantasma pals weren't really doing much of note on WWE programming.
But a few months into the Road to WrestleMania 39, The Judgment Day's war with Rey Mysterio soon resulted in the team joining forces with the masked legend to reform the Latino World Order.
And what came next was a surprisingly impressive few months for the babyface squad, with the unit helping Rey-Rey kick his despicable son's ass at 'The Show of Shows' and Bad Bunny fight off the black and purple-wearing a-holes at an instantly iconic Backlash 2023, too.
Being afforded a little more TV time alongside the mighty Mysterio has also elevated a number of the singles performers within the group.
Puerto Rican star Zelina Vega felt like the most popular woman in the company during that aforementioned Backlash event.
Escobar has also enjoyed a decent amount of solo success, qualifying for this year's Money in the Bank, alongside Vega, and winning a tournament to decide then-US Champion Austin Theory's next challenger.
And not even Santos being taken out by that slimy champ could keep the mid-card strap from coming back home with SmackDown's increasingly popular crew, with Mysterio stepping in for his mate and dramatically earning the faction their first piece of gold earlier this month.
