The reveal that Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman have formed an unexpected alliance was one of the biggest stories that came out of WrestleMania 41. In one fell swoop, “The Visionary” got the backing of one of the greatest minds in professional wrestling history and also hurt bitter rivals Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
However, WWE fans found out on this week’s edition of WWE Raw that there is a bigger story being built when two-time Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker was revealed as part of this new alliance. There is a very real chance new members could be added to what seems like a new faction being formed by Rollins. With that in mind, let’s look at seven other stars that could join the group.
A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory and Grayson Waller)
A-Town Down Under is a talented tag team that has had trouble building momentum on WWE Raw. Grayson Waller and Austin Theory have a great look and are reliable hands in the ring. Being a part of a faction with Rollins would go a long way in helping them be taken more seriously by fans. Factions always need guys who can take bumps in the ring when the heroes get the upper hand. Waller and Theory could fit that role perfectly while being helped to reach their potential by the WWE legend.
Ilia Dragunov
Ilia Dragunov’s run on Raw was cut short in September by a torn ACL. However, when he does return, he is likely to be featured. Because the company is very high on the gifted wrestler. If WWE wants Seth Rollins to help lift up talent they feel has main event potential, Dragunov could use that help while being a great addition to make a faction full of killers.
Becky Lynch
Over the last few years, we have seen new factions in WWE feature fantastic female talent who are not just eye candy. A new faction from Rollins could follow that trend. And what better person to do that with than his wife, “The Man” Becky Lynch. After her surprising heel turn on Monday Night Raw, it feels like the perfect time for WWE’s most famous couple to finally have a more in-depth role on TV together.
Ludwig Kaiser
Similar to Ilia Dragunov, former Imperium member Ludwig Kaiser has a ton of upside. While he consistently gets opportunities in WWE, he just hasn’t been able to make a major impact. On a talent level, he would be a good addition to a potential Seth Rollins-led faction. And the group would make fans see him in a very different light. Furthermore, he is a great athlete and has a style that’s a fun middle ground between the over-the-top Rollins and the bad*** biker vibe of Breakker.
Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate
We have seen it with The Bloodline, Judgment Day, and even Evolution and D-Generation X; the formula for a good faction is two good singles stars and a tag team. We have the singles stars in Rollins and Breakker. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate are a high-upside team that needs help from a cool storyline. They are both fantastic wrestlers, in their prime, and one of the better duos in the company. Furthermore, like Waller and Theory, they would be great bump takers for the group’s enemies.
