#5 AJ Styles

The Phenomenal One‘ is one of the most beloved superstars on the entire roster. Some fans feel that WWE is underutilizing AJ Styles’ true potential.

He is currently one-half of the WWE Raw Tag Team Champions with Omos. But he can be more than a tag team champion in the eye of the fans. A good WWE Draft could catapult him into the main event at SmackDown.

#4 Kevin Owens

Kevin “K.O.” Owens is a prizefighter in WWE. His push has been on and off for quite some time. But this doesn’t mean he isn’t a contender for the Universal Championship.

His feuds with the likes of John Cena were the highlights of that year, and the fans want to see him get another significant push.

#3 Seth Rollins

In our opinion, who better to displace ‘The Head of the Table‘ than an old comrade? There is hardly another wrestler in the entire roster other than Rollins who knows Reigns better.

The Architect‘ must be itching to snatch away the WWE Universal Championship from a man he once called brother. What a perfect year it would be for Rollins to win the championship after becoming a father.

#2 Brock Lesnar

The Beast‘ Brock Lesnar always has the potential to make a sudden comeback and win the hottest championship from the top guy.

The fans won’t be surprised if this happens once again. Both Reigns and Lesnar have excellent chemistry in the ring and the prospect of Lesnar winning the title is something the fans would love.
