10 Wrestlers Who MUST Win A Title In 2026

Sol Ruca is as much of a guarantee to join the main roster as can be, but there doesn't appear to be as much buzz over Zaria getting the same opportunity.

If she's going to be left behind, she cannot afford to spend another year being an afterthought, after her entire 2025 saw her as Ruca's backup buddy.

When she first came in, she had aura that put her face-to-face with Rhea Ripley, where she looked like she could dominate the roster and work her way quickly to a main roster spot. But she's been unable to win even the WWE Women's Speed Championship and somehow goes in the record books as losing a title that she never even won in the first place, with the NXT Women's North American Championship.

There isn't much leeway for taller, more physically-imposing wrestlers to be on the scene without winning a title before they reach a point of no return where they've lost all their mystique. Zaria is rapidly approaching that line.

Ideally, she turns heel to freshen things up and could be a great person to dethrone Jordynne Grace later in 2026.
