We discuss whether Oba Femi and Bron Breakker are truly WWE's future stars, or if Oba is rising while Breakker is starting to cool off. We also look at why the WWE women's division continues to revolve around the same few names, which NXT Superstars are close to breaking out, who might be fizzling out, and who could be positioned for bigger WrestleMania plans compared to those stuck in lukewarm spots.
