Nick Khan Predicts Who Will Become WWE's Biggest Stars Of The Next Decade

The year 2033 may seem far away, but with how fast time flies, we'll be there sooner than it feels like. Sitting down for an interview on "The Bill Simmons Podcast," WWE President Nick Khan was asked to look ahead to that year and share his predictions on WWE's biggest stars. Basing his answers on whether a star's inner voice matches their outer voice, Khan believes these wrestlers have it in the bag as future figureheads.

"I think there's a shot for a couple people," Khan said. "Rhea [Ripley] is in her late 20s. ... She's amazing. She has a chance. ... No question. She has 'it.'" 

"I'm high on Logan Paul. He's good, dude. And by the way, he puts in the work. ... I'm high on Bron [Breakker]. We cannot rush it, though. Gotta sort of let him develop at his own pace. ... Oba [Femi] is an obvious one. I'm high on Trick [Williams]. I like the fact that he's an SEC athlete. I like the fact that he sort of inherently understands media."

Each one of those named has carried a piece of gold or two both on the main roster and on "WWE NXT" and "WWE NXT UK." Ripley is already a WWE Women's Grand Slam Champion, earning her second reign with the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 42 this past Sunday. As well as Williams, who for the first time in his main roster career, took home the WWE Men's United States Championship from veteran in the business, Sami Zayn, the same night Ripley won her coveted prize.
