As WrestleMania season is upon us, the annual host of big names have come to steal the airtime on Raw and Smackdown, with the likes of Undertaker, Triple H and The Rock all in action at the biggest wrestling event of the year. When the old timers all leave and April 9th rolls around, what batch of stars should be pushed up the card in the coming year?
5. Tyson Kidd
For the past couple of years since the split of the Hart Dynasty, Tyson Kidd has proven himself as one of the top singles workers in WWE, putting on excellent displays of technical wrestling almost every week on NXT and Superstars. While he may not have the charisma or the size to be a bonafide top star, it would be good to see him involved in longer matches on Smackdown or Raw, against the likes of Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho. Even if was booked as a semi-jobber, he would still be able to put on some great and unique matches.
4. Heath Slater
Heath Slater is the perfect heel - funny, annoying and entirely hateable. His relaxed demeanor and long, straightened bright orange hair makes him stand out amongst the rest of the jobbers in WWE right now. His microphone work is funny and has great potential. Anyone in doubt should watch him on NXT every week and watch him shine when he takes to the microphone. Added to all that, Slater is a legitimately good wrestler, often putting on match of the week candidates with Justin Gabriel on the two web shows.. But of course, Slaters gonna slate..

3. Percy Watson
What WWE is missing right now is guys over the 6'4 range, with many of the new up and coming stars being lightweight wrestlers. Percy Watson has bags of charisma, a great athletic image and can go in the ring, as well as being half-decent on the microphone. It remains a mystery why this star has yet to receive a call up to one of the main rosters, when seemingly he has all it takes to be a huge star.

2. Randy Orton
A surprise pick you may feel, and a lot of people consider Orton to be "overpushed" - but can you recall the last time Randy Orton was in a meaningful storyline? No, his feud with Christian last year does not count, as that feud was based entirely on Christian's quest for the World Heavyweight Title - Orton was just playing the part of the babyface. No, since Orton turned babyface he has not had one notable storyline or angle that people will remember. He gets criticism for being "Boring" from dumbfuck smarks online, but Orton is one of only two men in the WWE who are legitimate larger than life stars that will draw ratings (along with John Cena). Orton really needs to be brought back over to Raw after WrestleMania and pushed in a meaningful main event storyline with a top calibre star.

If my idea of Orton going back to Raw and becoming one of the top stars comes to fruition, then Cody Rhodes is the man who should step up and take his place at the top of the Smackdown card. He has impressed for well over 2 years and every month looks more and more like a main event star waiting to happen. Having brought meaning and prestige back to the Intercontinental Title for the first time in years and a series of interesting mid-card feuds, Cody is ready to take the step up to the next level and become World Heavyweight Champion. The WWE has a lot of young guys ready to make it to the next level, but none more than Cody, who is the total package - great in-ring, great mic work, great look and character depth. A convincing heel who could some day turn babyface, Cody Rhodes is the future of the WWE.
