10 WWE Wrestlers Poised To Break Out In 2020

The only thing holding Angel Garza back from becoming a star in this promotion are his promos. He's charismatic as hell, but the language barrier is real. Vince McMahon won't strap a rocket to you if you can't cut a long promo in fluent English and while Garza does speak English, this is something he'll likely have to tighten up before stardom beckons, particularly once he gets out of NXT.

It's a shame that this is still a deciding factor, because Garza is elite. Personality leaks from his every pore. His good looks and charm make him incredibly marketable, he can fly with the best of him, and he knows how to work a crowd. On top of this, the Taichi trousers spot is an instant hook that immediately makes him look like a colossal bell-end. A small detail, sure, but people latch onto things like this.

Garza's recent showdown with Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush showed he is more than capable of hanging in this hyper-athletic, PWG-esque environment. He'll likely be a perennial purple belt contender for much of 2020, moving onto bigger, bolder prizes as he gets over.
