10 Wrestlers That Have Soared Since WWE WrestleMania 35
7. Erick Rowan
Relatively new to Daniel Bryan's "New" act at WrestleMania, Rowan (before he received use of his last name again) was merely a threatening ringside presence as the WWE Championship swapped owners on the 'Grandest Stage'. Six months later, he'd be working pay-per-view semi-main events against Roman Reigns.
The road hasn't been easy for Rowan since the 'Show Of Shows', but his run as a Tag Team Champion alongside 'The Planet's Champion' allowed his strengths to be extenuated despite the duo swallowing their fair share of defeats, mostly because he never had to take the fall.
His part in the 'Big Dog' whodunnit was about as stupid as everybody else in the story, but the segments and eventual match over-delivered and facilitated the return of Luke Harper to set up what should be a blockbuster tag match on SmackDown's big Fox debut. For a man that wasn't even around at the start of the year and not really working before the middle of it, it's looking like he'll have quite the impressive end to his 2019.
