18. Mia Yim

Hard to know if it's kind or unfair to classify Mia Yim's 2022 return as an over-delivery.

Few doubted what she had to offer in her original NXT run, but the disaster that was 2020's Retribution took a near-career-killing toll on everybody involved. Yim - itchy "Reckoning" mask and all - included.

She's slotted neatly into things on Raw, as she surely will do in the Royal Rumble. Winning's a stretch, but chalk her down as yet another Triple H return that could be broad shouldered enough to sustain a longer stay in the match.
