Is WWE finally creating new stars?

[Tired]

We have finally started to see new talents rising up to the top of the WWE. One of the company’s biggest problems in recent years has been their inability to create top-tier stars. We can only hope that the recent improvements mean that we will start seeing more fresh faces in the title picture more often.

The main event of WrestleMania XXV saw Triple H defend the WWE Championship against Randy Orton. Since then, almost every single pay-per-view match for that title has featured at least one of the same three guys; Orton, John Cena and CM Punk. The 2 title matches at this year's WrestleMania was the first time since 2009 that we have seen 2 consecutive title matches without one of those three men. It was also the third show which featured a WWE Championship match without any of those 3 men either in that time period.

Here is a list of every WWE Championship match at PPV since WrestleMania XV. You will see that there has only been 3 PPVs that did not have Cena/Orton/Punk in the WWE Championship match; WrestleMania 2015, Extreme Rules 2014 and Elimination Chamber 2011.

It is worth noting that the only matches featuring Punk that were headline matches all featured Cena too. None of the matches below featured both Punk and Orton.

Nxt is loaded. Sami zayn on Raw tonight was epic. There is a lot of new talent headed for the main roster. Ryback is a waste of time in my opinion. So many guys could take his place. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Samoa Joe.

Sami Zayn is Epic!!

 

[Champion_Gamer]

tonight on raw i was getting a wwf new generation vibe it's nice to see the young blood geting a chance

 

[Best... Since Day One]

It's time that the new WWE generation comes. The match I want to see is absolutely Kevin Owens vs Brock Lesnar

 

[1 for All]

I want Finn Bálor. I love the way Neville fights. They make the old guys feel like waste. NXT is pumped up with great talent. I watch it every week. It's always... Always better than RAW.
