6 WWE Faction Members To Become Singles Stars

WWE has established several different noteworthy factions across Monday Night Raw, NXT and Friday Night SmackDown.

Looking at these stables, there are a few different members who could emerge as singles stars in the weeks and months to come.

Whether it be as a member of their current factions or breaking free from the group entirely, these WWE stars could be on the path to championship gold and rising to the top of the company.

Here are six WWE faction members to potentially become singles stars soon.

6. Tama Tonga

Over the past several months, Tama Tonga has been showcased as a singles star on several occasions.

Tonga has scored pinfall victories over the likes of Ilja Dragunov, Shinsuke Nakamura and Carmelo Hayes.

The former four-time NEVER Openweight Champion in New Japan has yet to win singles gold in WWE since signing in 2024.

While he is still a member of the MFTs, it remains to be seen if Tama can get singles success still with the group or might need to split from Solo Sikoa to break the glass ceiling.

5. Talla Tonga

Speaking of The MFTs, Talla Tonga walked into WWE and put fear in the heart of the entire SmackDown roster.

Formerly known as Hikuleo during his time in NJPW, Tonga immediately joined his brother Tama Tonga as a member of The MFTs.

Doing the bidding of Solo Sikoa, Talla has proven himself to be an unstoppable force unlike any other star on the WWE roster.

Talla has the size, look and strength to be a singles champion and beat anyone in front of him, so it feels like only a matter of time before he is considered a major singles talent on the roster.

4. Jackson Drake

As of late, Jackson Drake has been on a roll in singles competition and riding a wave of momentum.

Drake came into WWE through the ID program and quickly joined forces with Swipe Right’s Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes to form The Vanity Project.

Adding to their unit, Drake started a relationship with the powerhouse known as Myka Lockwood, which has paid dividends with his recent winning streak.

While he doesn’t look to be leaving The Vanity Project anytime soon, Jackson Drake has every tool necessary to be a champion and singles star on NXT and beyond.

3. Chad Gable

At AAA Noche de Los Grandes 2026, El Grande Americano defeated The Original El Grande Americano in a Mask vs. Mask Match.

Following the loss, The Original El Grande unmasked to reveal himself as Chad Gable.

Gable is the leader of American Made alongside The Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile. After his performance at AAA Noche de Los Grandes, Gable should be in line for a major push moving forward.

Gable has what it takes to be a main event level talent in the company and could find himself in contention for championship gold now that he is back.

2. Jacy Jayne

On the April 24 WWE SmackDown After WrestleMania 42, Fatal Influence made their main roster debut and have been making their presence felt.

Led by Jacy Jayne, Fatal Influence have made it clear that they want championship gold on the blue brand.

With Jayne competing in the Queen of the Ring tournament, there is a chance that the former two-time NXT Women’s Champion could be on her way to a shot at the top prize in the SmackDown women’s scene.

Jayne breaking out as the leader of Fatal Influence seems inevitable at this point and could see her win gold at the WWE SummerSlam 2026 premium live event.

1. Roxanne Perez

Over the past few months, dissension has been brewing between Judgment Day stablemates Roxanne Perez and Liv Morgan.

After The Judgment Day made the decision to kick Finn Balor to the curb, it has led to some doubts being expressed by Perez.

“The Prodigy” has long been viewed as a future world champion and someone who could sit at the top of WWE before long.

Whether it be within The Judgment Day or breaking away to challenge Liv Morgan for the WWE Women’s World Championship, it feels like Roxanne Perez could be on the cusp of breaking out as a singles star moving forward.
