He has had nothing but success since then and is currently the face of WWE, if not the most dominant force in the business. McIntyre is currently in his second run as WWE Champion and will defend the belt against Goldberg at Royal Rumble.

Finn Bálor’s actions speak for him. The NXT Champion has fought tooth and nail to keep his gold and has taken down men twice his size. The brutalities of NXT keep coming his way, and he braves big injuries to stay at the top.

Goldberg got this list just about right. These 4 men are the undoubted future of WWE and will carry the company through thick and thin.
