10 WWE Wrestlers Poised To Break Out In 2024
7. Wes Lee
Wes Lee had such a fantastic 2023 that the only way to improve his form would be to blow up big on either Raw or SmackDown.
The former NXT Tag and North American Champion became the safest bet for a fantastic match on the unpredictable brand, and finds himself ready to ascend at just the right time in company history. Destined to be pigeonholed by Vince McMahon's crushingly over-familiar tastes, Lee is the sort of dynamic presence that could shine on Triple H's wrestling-heavy shows.
With such a high weekly turnover of televised in-ring action, it takes more than good matches alone to get over. Offering the North American gold up in a weekly open challenge was a fantastic cheat code that resulted in Lee proving his worth against a rich array of differing opponents. The main roster line-ups are as big and as broad as the stages, and if he can avoid being slotted in as a utility workhorse, a run with the rejuvenated Intercontinental Championship seems like the perfect next step.
