As part of the magazine's "101 amazing things coming this fall", a few superstars were noted as part of the 101 things as "breakout stars" which was followed by a paragraph of said person talking about themself.
They were:
Justin Gabriel
Johnny Curtis
Jinder Mahal
AJ
Kaitlyn
Zack Ryder
How accurate is the magazine usually as far as highlighting who WWE is going to push?

Curtis is a good wrestler and actually pretty funny. I hope that old guy stays with him cause he reminds me of Ralphus.

That list is actually good. Especially the top 3. Skip is the biggest bust so far, for different reasons. But predicting a whole year is different than next season. |

WWE Magazine once claimed great things for Johnny The Bull and Heidenreich....so take that for what it's worth.
But most recently they did the Tomorrow's Champions Today edition, and every day I see the poster of John Morrison, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston, The Miz, David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd, and Dolph Ziggler.....and it's funny for me to think that at one point the Hart Dynasty could have been a big deal but now David Hart Smith is on milk cartons. Also funny because they stuffed Miz and Ziggler back as far as they could on the poster and they're probably the two biggest successes so far of the bunch.
As for that list, I hope they're right. I'm still holding out hope for Jinder Mahal and the rest are all people that I like.....and it's good to see Ryder included.

EDIT- I TOOK TOO LONG TO WRITE THIS OUT SO I'M GOING TO POST IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT UP!!!
I have no idea about how often WWE Magazine gets these things right, but just as a point of interest I thought I'd bring up the WWE.com article they had at the beginning of the year which highlights those to look out for for the year (seeing as we're 8 months in).
Their list was:
11. Ezekiel Jackson
10. Tyson Kidd
9. Tamina
8. Alex Riley
7. David Otunga
6. Drew McIntyre
5. Skip Sheffield
4. Cody Rhodes
3. Dolph Ziggler
2. Daniel Bryan
1. Alberto Del Rio
So far about four are right (1, 2, 8, 11), three are so-so (3, 4, 7), one is n/a (5), and three are wrong (9, 10, 6),

Well, they are pretty accurate so far. The year hasn't ended yet, so those 3 can still get...something. This is far funnier in my opinion: www.wwe.com/inside/wwefeaturepage/features/13081800Jackson? Okay, got a title. Truth? CONSPIRACY Yoshi? I WISH Luke Gallows? ....uh well...you guys know how that turned out. Zack Ryder? Uh...does the internet title count? Ted Dibiase? ....well. Hart Dynasty? ...again, uh... Bourne? I wish. Alicia Fox? Who? Ziggler? Well he did win the world title. Kinda. |

I could see Gabriel assuming they stop sticking him on Superstars.

Jinder Mahal isn't breaking out of a damned thing.
Of course, now that it's known I can't stand him, everyone else will start to love him, haha.

I just realized everyone on that list is on Smackdown. Zack appears on both.

If they could teach her to be half decent in the ring I reckon Kaitlyn could be a big deal. This may just be because I have warmed to her immediately. But I do honestly believe her look is just the perfect Diva look. Beautiful but also looks like she could actually win a fight because of her build.

Justin Gabriel, AJ, and Zack Ryder are obvious.
Johnny Curtis is a decent wrestler so provided his character isn't as weird as what he's doing now, he may be able to do ok.
Jinder Mahal is on the roster because he's Indian. That's the only reason.
Kaitlyn hasn't earned her spot on the main roster and needs much more training in the ring. She also lacks charisma (she has PERSONALITY, not charisma) so I don't expect her to last long at all.
