Projecting Raw's 7 New Cruiserweights' Long-Term WWE Career Prospects

5. Noam Dar

Gran Metalik
WCPW

It feels like Noam Dar has been a constant presence on the British wrestling scene forever, but he’s still only 23 years old. A shocking figure, especially considering that he made his debut a full eight years ago.

Dar is smooth, slick, and crisp in the ring. While not the division’s most viscerally thrilling competitor, he’s the type of wrestler who makes everything he does look easy, and he’s a great technician. More importantly, however: Dar already carries himself like a huge star. The impenetrable Glaswegian accent will take some getting used to for American audiences, but Dar already walks around like he’s the most important guy in the division, and that’ll go a long way to establishing his early success.

Potential is Dar’s main selling point. He’s already a fantastic competitor, but his peak years are a long way away yet. Noam Dar has all the tools to become a superstar in WWE, and with a little seasoning, there’s no reason he can’t carve-out a highly-successful career with the company.

The early days provide Dar’s biggest questions, however. He, along with Lince Dorado, didn’t appear alongside their fellow Cruiserweights on this week’s Raw, so he’s already behind most the division in the pecking order. His early Raw career will likely require a lot of patience, but Dar is more than talented enough to close the gap before long.
