10 Wrestlers Who DESPERATELY Need Something New In 2026

7. Zaria

Remember when Zaria was hyped up to be on par with stars like Stephanie Vaquer and Rhea Ripley and treated like she was part of the crop of the most talented women's roster? WWE seems to have forgotten once they formed the ZaRuca tag team.

Credit where it's due, Sol Ruca deserves all the upward momentum she's achieved in 2025. She's amazing and will assuredly be on the main roster soon enough.

But in pushing her, WWE has ignored Zaria's progress. Despite being one of the biggest women on the brand, she's lost her mystique and power after being booked as the fall-girl to further advance Ruca.

Lately, she's been specifically a loser who goes on record losing a belt she's never even held, which is a rarity. Why is she Ruca's emotionally unbalanced, incapable friend, instead of a dominant warrior in her own right?

Ideally, Zaria turns on Ruca. Their feud can be Ruca's send-off to Raw or SmackDown, while Zaria can build more steam as a monster. But that ultimately has to end with her holding the NXT Women's Championship to really cement her as someone to watch out for in the future.
