The Gospel According to Vincent: 5 Stars Who Must Join The Righteous
Following tonight’s cryptic promo regarding the expansion of their flock, the wrestling world is buzzing with speculation. Who are the chosen few deemed worthy to walk the path with Vincent and Dutch?
The Righteous is not just a faction; it is a state of mind, and it requires a specific type of disciple—one who is as compelling as they are unsettling.
My latest Top 5 is about which talents I believe can fit the disturbing, charismatic aesthetic of The Righteous perfectly and could help them achieve total dominance in TNA Wrestling.
5 Stars Who Must Join The Righteous
Tyler Bateman ("Bateman")
This is the most obvious and necessary inclusion. Bateman is not just an associate; he is the spiritual brother of Vincent. Before their time in TNA, they were a cohesive, destructive force on the independent scene.
Bateman brings a gravitas, a sadistic intensity, and a technical wrestling brilliance that perfectly complements Vincent’s prophetic ramblings. His return to the fold to form the core of this expanded Righteous is "the right choice" for the group’s immediate legitimacy.
Tara Zep
The Knockouts Division needs new blood, and it needs a dose of the macabre. Tara Zep is a perfect candidate. She possesses a distinct, dark aesthetic and an in-ring style that is both powerful and unhinged.
While she is an obvious choice to bring depth to the singles Knockouts division, aligning her with The Righteous gives her an immediate, compelling platform and turns her into a unique threat that the current roster is ill-equipped to handle.
Blair Onyx
If The Righteous is looking for the future, they need look no further than Blair Onyx. She is arguably "the next big Knockout thing" waiting to happen. With a background in acting and a commitment to a dark character, Onyx fits The Righteous's cinematic, cult-like presentation like a glove.
Mentored by Vincent and Bateman, Onyx could evolve into a terrifying and dominant force, challenging for the Knockouts World Title while spreading the group's twisted message.
Vita VonStarr
It is time for a family reunion. Vita VonStarr was an integral part of The Righteous during their formation, serving as the group’s unpredictable enforcer. Her departure left a void in the faction's dynamic that has never truly been filled.
Bringing VonStarr back into the group adds instant history, in-ring credibility, and a chaotic energy that is currently missing. Her reunion with Vincent and Bateman feels like an inevitability.
Brittney Blake
The Righteous excels when they have a "common one"—a disciple who can operate in the mid-card, absorb punishment, and do the group’s dirty work while looking menacing. Brittney Blake, with her "Baddest" attitude and willingness to go to dark places, fits this role perfectly.
She can work tag team matches with the other female members or compete in singles action, solidifying the faction’s presence across the entire roster.
