In this thread, I am looking for your thoughts on who will be the biggest names in the WWE in the not so distant future. We all have our favourites, including Vince McMahon. But I am constantly thinking about who will step into the same role as John Cena in, say, 5 years time. So, I want to know, who has the potential to be the Man around the WWE halls?
Heres my list...
1. Seth Rollins
Rollins is, undoubtedly, going to be the man in the WWE. He might have gone through a tough time with injuries over the last couple of years. But there is no doubt that the WWE have a lot of faith in him. If you ask me, he is the most complete superstar on the roster at the moment. He can talk, he's both a great heel and face, and he can totally pull it off inside the ropes. He's already a multi-time WWE Champion and that's not going to end any time soon. For me, he had everything going for him plus he has the faith of the WWE upper management behind him to give him the push that it needs.
2. Rusev
Not going to be a popular choice in this thread, given that he seems to be locked in the mid card for the last few months and hasn't really had a sniff of the main event scene as of late. But as his initial run on the main roster showed, Rusev is a great superstar. He is undoubtedly a better heel but he is so malleable that he can do anything. He's great inside the ring and looks the part. His feud with Cena a few years ago was spectacular and actually pushed John Cena to a new level that we hadn't seen in a while. The WWE seemed lose interest in him after the US Championship reign but it can be remedied. He's young enough and has the drive about him to get back to the top.
3. Baron Corbin
Probably another one who won't get a lot of mentions in this tread but I think he deserves it. Corbin has been really good over the last few months. His gimmick is the same gimmick that should have been used for Roman Reigns. But actually, it has worked a charm for Corbin. Truth be told, I wasn't all that high on Corbin when he made his debut but he has impressed me since. He seems like he is learning a lot and he is already pushing into the main event scene on Smackdown. He's got a lot going for him and if he keeps pushing the way he has and keeps learning, he'll go very far in the WWE.
There's a few reasons that I didn't include certain people. First of all, I reckon Owens will have a short shelf life. He seems a lot like CM Punk to me and he'll likely get bored over the next few years and want to do something else. AJ Styles is the best in the company at the moment but, as I recall, he's older than Cena who is on his way out. If Styles gets 5 years out of the WWE, he'll be over the moon but he won't be the face of the company in 5 years.
But how about you guys?
