00:00Now that WrestleMania is in the books,
00:02it is the start of a new year in the wrestling world.
00:04And that always means the focus can kind of shift
00:07to a few new performers.
00:08Here are five that I think the WWE
00:10really needs to put their focus on
00:13as we head toward WrestleMania 43 now.
00:16And number five was already the focus of a lot,
00:18but didn't end up on WrestleMania.
00:20Eoskai has to be part of the focus here.
00:22I think she is genuinely
00:23one of the best wrestlers in the world.
00:25She has an incredible connection with the fans.
00:27And for her not to be on WrestleMania,
00:30I think is bordering on travesty,
00:32given that she had one of the matches of the year
00:34at WrestleMania the previous year.
00:36So I think there really needs to be a focus on her
00:38back in the championship picture.
00:40We got some focus on number four on Raw,
00:43and it was around the title picture,
00:44but Sol Ruka.
00:45The promo does leave something to be desired,
00:48but the in-ring is exceptional.
00:50And again, when you see the connection she had
00:52with a lot of the fans on NXT,
00:54and just the brief moments that we've had with her
00:57involved with main roster performers,
00:59there's a lot here with Sol Ruka,
01:01and you could be looking at a superstar on your hands.
01:04I think you've got to roll with this one here.
01:06At number three, Trick Williams.
01:08Already the United States champion.
01:10Everyone knows this guy has superstar potential
01:13written all over him.
01:15That needs to still be one of the guys.
01:17He should be very close to the main event
01:20of WrestleMania 43.
01:21When he comes into the Royal Rumble,
01:23someone who has his number in a Royal Rumble pool
01:25needs to be thinking,
01:27I could win this.
01:28At number two, Ray Phoenix.
01:30I don't know how you have a guy
01:32who is genuinely one of the best wrestlers
01:34in the world on your roster,
01:35and you can't find anything for him.
01:38This guy has world championship caliber,
01:42athleticism, in-ring ability, all of it.
01:44There's a fire to him also.
01:46I get, like, he does not have the natural charisma
01:49on a mic where, like, Penta could be speaking
01:52in just tongues that don't exist anymore,
01:54and he would still be drawn into it.
01:57Ray Phoenix doesn't have that,
01:58but what he has is an incredible in-ring ability
02:01that I think needs to be focused on
02:03by WWE in this next year.
02:05And at number one, I think it's obvious.
02:07It's Obafemi.
02:08Coming off of the WrestleMania win
02:11over Brock Lesnar,
02:12and all the reactions around this guy,
02:15whether it's the strut down to the ring,
02:17or the chants of his name,
02:19or just how huge he is,
02:21the in-ring work, awesome.
02:22The promo's excellent.
02:23He is the total package.
02:25This guy should be in one of the main events
02:28of WrestleMania next year.
02:31So those are the five that I think WWE
02:32should really have a focus on pushing
02:34in this new wrestling calendar.
02:37Where are you guys at?
02:38Any disagreements with the five,
02:40and did I miss anyone?
02:40Let me know in the comments.
02:47We'll see you next time.
02:48Bye.
02:48Bye.
02:48Bye.
02:49Bye.
02:49Bye.
