Since WWE appointed Ava as the general manager of NXT in January 2024, she has effectively managed the often chaotic Performance Center environment. However, at just 24 years old, there is speculation that Ava might transition to a more active in-ring career in the future, especially given her ongoing training sessions with Charlotte Flair.
Should Ava pursue more wrestling opportunities, fans have identified seven intriguing candidates who could take over her role as NXT general manager on-screen.
William Regal: Returning to the Spotlight
William Regal, who recently returned to WWE after a stint in AEW, has predominantly worked behind the scenes. Known for his emotionally gripping storytelling and charismatic presence, Regal remains a beloved figure among fans. A return to an on-screen authority position in NXT could suit him well, providing new viewers a chance to appreciate his legacy.
Although it would require a strong storyline to justify his comeback in this role, Regal’s reputation as a fan favorite makes him a compelling choice to guide NXT’s future.
