10 Wrestlers Who MUST Win A Title In 2026
6. Swipe Right (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes)
When The Vanity Project says they run WWE EVOLVE, they aren't just heels having an inflated attitude about themselves. That ego is justified, as they are easily the best thing going on that brand.
Jackson Drake is already holding gold as the men's WWE EVOLVE champion, but Swipe Right's Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes have no tag team titles to fight for, since that brand simply doesn't have any.
The point of EVOLVE is to be the first step in developmental before talent goes to NXT. All of The Vanity Project have reached a level where they can hang with those stars on Tuesday night.
After going to NXT proper, Swipe Right would be the perfect fits to capture the NXT Tag Team Championship at some point in 2026, particularly given how lackluster that division is. Their presence on the brand would already give it a boost, but for those two to be the top of the division would inject even more character.
A title reign for them would also give Baylor and Smokes the chance to break out of being just the backup of Drake, as they do have their own careers to worry about.
