The new stars they have actually created and followed through with are limited to The Shield in what 2012, Sheamus in I think was 2008, and Cena/Batista/ Orton in 2005.
That is literally it. CM Punk and Daniel Bryan got over as stars despite WWE trying hard to prevent it for a long time with both before finally giving in.
WWE goes out of its way to make sure they keep people from becoming stars.

It seems that Vince doesn't want another Rock situation where a top WWE star has opportunities to go on and make more $ or be even more successful or popular outside of WWE and leave the WWE hanging to have to build new stars when they don't have the talent or haven't been planning to have to do so. As a result, no one talent can be allowed to stand out and be a bigger focus or star than the company and its events as a whole, and so most talent seems at relatively the same level overall. It's a great idea if you have enough $ and consistent enough revenues that you have no reason to take any risk and/or you want your product and talent to be mediocre overall.
