10 Wrestlers Whose Stock Has Risen The Most Since WWE WrestleMania 37
Kevin Owens could go from midcard mediocrity to making WWE history at WrestleMania 38.
WrestleMania 37 feels like a lifetime ago.
Stretch back a little further and it's like 'Mania 36 took place in ancient history. The pyramids were built, then WWE held its biggest annual show inside the Performance Center a few days later. Yep, that's how the timeline looked. Seriously though, 12 months of company content (especially in the current climate) feels so long.
Anyone reading this article might imagine that wrestlers had to have a stinker back in 2021 to qualify. That's not really the case - some of the ones included actually had wonderful experiences in Tampa that they'll look back on fondly for years, but they're about to do even bigger and better things in 2022.
Their stock has gone (or is about to go) through the roof.
Of course, WWE's road towards 'Mania 38 isn't set in stone for everybody just yet. Vince McMahon's whims are well-known, so things could change in a heartbeat for some of these workers before they ever reach Dallas. Others? Others are gonna make up for lost time.
These men and women should make history come WrestleMania 38 on April 2-3.
10. Bad Bunny
You might be stunned to see Bad Bunny kick things off.
Here's the thing though: Bunny exceeded everyone's expectations during a hot tag bout with Damian Priest vs. The Miz and John Morrison at 'Mania 37. His performance, all things considered, was incredible. Now, in 2022, the rapper will be touring and isn't even going to be part of WrestleMania 38.
So, why is he here? Firstly, fans now have a better idea of what Bunny is capable of the next time he steps foot inside a WWE ring. His seven-minute cameo in the 2022 Royal Rumble was another star-enhancing moment for the man too, but everyone had confidence he'd do some cool sh*t when he bounced through the curtain because they'd already witnessed him smashing it.
Second, WWE will probably get at least another few matches out of the musician this year. That wouldn't be the case had he flopped last time. The company would shy away from more, and Bunny himself might be hesitant to stick his neck out.
