The One Wrestler WWE Need To Push In 2019

Andrade Almas Zelina Vega

Andrade, with Zelina Vega, is a great Sports Entertainment act.

Vega completes him. Her arrival as Andrade's business manager sparked a huge upturn for the struggling star in July 2017, kickstarting a run that dragged him from surefire developmental bust to must-see maestro. Every aspect of Andrade's act was sharpened when they came together, and the duo remain each other's biggest asset.

As charismatic on the microphone as her charge is in the ring, Vega is the best heel manager in the business not named Paul Heyman. It'd be impossible for Andrade to get over to even an upper-midcard degree without the former Thea Trinidad, who not only cuts his promos for him, but gives his matches a different dimension with her classic array of villainous tactics. Similarly, Vega without Andrade is nothing. Though WWE have tried her out as a wrestler several times, it's clear her true talents lie in the managerial realm.

That isn't to say Vega should never wrestle. She's a useful heel spot-filler, and the company were right to try her out between the ropes. She isn't terrible, either, but positioning her as a full-time wrestler would be like signing Jim Cornette and having him do nothing but backstage interviewers.

Together, Zelina and Andrade form the most complete manager/wrestler partnership in the company, and recent weeks have given both the perfect launchpad to shoot for the moon.
