We have already covered seven installments of this in past with <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2014/04/22/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-have-heard-of-yet/”>Volume 1</a>, <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-know-about-yet-volume-2/”>Volume 2</a>, <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2019/01/02/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-know-about-yet-volume-3/”>Volume 3</a>, <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2019/08/02/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-have-heard-of-yet-volume-4/”>Volume 4</a>, <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2020/02/07/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-have-heard-ofyet-volume-5/”>Volume 5</a> , <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2020/05/08/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-have-heard-ofyet-volume-6/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Volume 6</a>, <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2021/07/27/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-have-heard-ofyet-volume-7/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Volume 7</a>, <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2022/02/22/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-have-heard-ofyet-volume-8/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Volume 8</a> , <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2023/05/23/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-have-heard-ofyet-volume-9/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Volume 9</a> , <a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/2024/02/09/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-have-heard-ofyet-volume-10/”>Volume 10</a> and <a href=”https://ring-the-damn-bell.com/2024/08/06/the-next-generation-of-wrestlers-you-may-not-have-heard-ofyet-volume-11/”>Volume 11</a>. Some made it, while others faltered. These up and coming generational wrestlers are for the most part lesser known than say the more established ones like The Rock, Bray Wyatt and Charlotte Flair. Who will rise and who will fall in the latest list of pro wrestlers with a legacy to uphold?</em></p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:more –> <!–more–> <!– /wp:more –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p><strong>Keegan Garland – Son of Scotty 2 Hotty Garland</strong></p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:image {“id”:98886,”sizeSlug”:”large”,”linkDestination”:”media”} –> <figure class=”wp-block-image size-large”><a href=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/keegangarland.jpg”><img src=”https://ringthedamnbell.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/keegangarland.jpg?w=843″ alt=”” class=”wp-image-98886″ /></a></figure> <!– /wp:image –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p>Keegan Garland was trained by Ace Steele and made his pro debut in 2024.
