YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
With the way WWE has altered the general booking of the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships, I'd say that it'll be quite a long while before there's another 10 time champion. WWE no longer plays hot potato with the WWE Championship, really beginning with CM Punk holding it for 434 days. Beginning late last year and early on into this year, they followed suit with the other titles. Triple H is the one who really put a stop to it as he wanted title reigns to have more of an impact and be more meaningful. As a result, you don't generally see the titles being switched every 30 days or so unless the current champ suffers some sort of serious injury or has to take time off to undergo surgery, like we saw with Ziggler's concussion & Cena's elbow. I think it's entirely possible that none of the wrestlers on that list will be crowned a 10 time World Champion if the titles continue to be booked similarly.
I have a feeling Del Rio's current run as champ might be his last. That's just a feeling I've got, it might be totally wrong. But Del Rio has had 4 World Championship runs in WWE and he just isn't over nearly as much as they'd like.
CM Punk is a possibility as I've little doubt WWE wants to keep him as one of the top stars on the roster.
Sheamus is someone I'm not really sure about. I've little doubt that he'll have another couple of title runs, at least, before it's all said and done. However, I don't believe he'll make it to 10.
Daniel Bryan looks to be WWE's golden boy for the moment, but there's no telling how it'll be 6 months from now. I think they're also going to want to keep him as a top star, however. It's just a hunch.
Dolph Ziggler almost certainly won't make it to 10. After what's gone down in Ziggler's career in terms of the WHC, he should be thankful if he ever manages to get a single, solid run with the title.
There's practically no way Kane, Christian or Big Show will make it to 10 runs. Kane's 46 years old, Christian turns 40 later this year and Big Show is 41. All three guys still bring a good deal but their times as main eventers is either passing, is about to pass or has already passed. It's more likely they'll make occasional trips into the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship picture, but I think that's as far as it goes.
If Chris Jericho returns to WWE, which I'd say he will, then it'll be along the same lines as we've seen him. He'll come back to WWE and wrestle probably for the first half of the year, cut some good promos and wrestle some quality matches in which he'll ultimately put some younger talent over before he takes the second half of the year off to do other projects. With that sort of schedule, Chris Jericho has most likely seen his last World Championship run in WWE, and rightly so. Part timers shouldn't be champions, which is one of the reasons why I thought The Rock shouldn't have been WWE Champion.
As I said though, with the booking changes made to the WH & WWE Championships, a 10th reign for any of these wrestlers is doubtful. Personally, that suits me just fine because I like the fact that champions are having longer reigns rather than new champs being crowned every 4-6 weeks.

To be honest i dont see any of them getting to 10.....
I see alberto getting it 2 or 3 more times tops....
CM punk is supposedly retiring on 2 years and the way the WWE title has been booked since he took the title from del rio... We are gonna see longer title reigns
I see sheamus getting to 6 or 7 and thats it
Daniel bryan might get there if he stays healthy and wrestlers for 6 or 8 more years and stays in the main event from now on...
Lets see if ziggler can even get to 3 shall we?
Kane, christian, big show and jericho are done winning titles IMO

I can't see anyone on the current roster doing it, because its not 2009 where the title is tossed between people in a feud anymore like with Cena and orton. The onus is on longer title reigns like previously mentioned, at the moment anyway. Cena held it from mania to summeslam and we all know about punks reign. If anyone does do it, it SHOULD be Jericho but it won't, as he is a classy act and wants to put the over the younger talent. Out of that list, Sheamus is probably the most likely because he'll be there the longest and HHH loves him. Bryan won't do it either, or I don't think he will, we will have to see how long they keep him in the ME picture. Who knows what will happen at mania this year? He may go for the streak for all we know.

I wouldn't put my money on any of them. Punk is the most likely of those names.
If I had to say a name, i'll say one or two of the Shield members could defiantly hit 10 based on how big names are soon to retire, added to the fact that there isn't many other names looking like set up names.
My guess, is nobody.

Porn is okay here long as it ain't dudes.
IF anybody in this selection gets that Golden 10, my money is on CM Punk.
Punk is in a position right now to keep capitalizing in a Main Event atmosphere. Even when he isn't gunning for the belt, he is always featured in a strong showing; facing The Undertaker, seeking revenge from his former manager, etc. No matter what, Punk dominates in the given storyline. He can easily jump from Heyman to Randy Orton in a heartbeat, take his belt, and it would be sound.
CM Punk is the only one on this list I know for sure hasn't seen their last title run. I have to go with him.

I'm neat.
I voted for CM Punk cause I feel if anyone he'd be the most likely to get to 10 however I too honestly don't see anyone on that list doing. Sure a lot of these guys are main evented and have been in the title picture for a while but when looking at guys like Orton, Cena, Triple H they all found gold early in their career. Randy Orton was the youngest champion in the history of the WWE and quite frankly has had a lot of time to continue winning it. All the guys on the list have won their first titles relatively later in their career compared to guys like Orton and therefore getting to 10 just doesn't seem likely. It takes a lot to get to that number which includes a bit of luck and a few short reigns. That doesn't happen much much more in the WWE so I can't see anyone else doing it.

Oh man, I love how you put Kane twice. Doubles his nigh 0% chance of ever hitting that coveted 10th major championship win, haha.
Seriously though, I gotta go with Punk. He's too good.
That being said though, the number of championships a person has won isn't always gonna be seen as their greatest accomplishment. For Jericho, his biggest accolade is beating both Austin and Rock to become the first ever undisputed champion, while Punk's isn't his number of reigns, but the sheer longevity of his most recent one.
There are several way to make a lasting impression without ever hitting double digit championship victories.

If anything being realistic I will have to go with Punk because he is already a 5 time World Champion and Punk still has a lot left to do which is why realistically he is probably the best chance to join the 10-time World Champions club but if not Punk then I would say The Great White Sheamus because he is a 3-time World Champion, he could win 7 more World Titles as the years go by

I don't think any of the Superstars listed will reach 10 World Title reigns.
Daniel Bryan & Dolph Ziggler have the best chances of accomplishing the task IMO but If I had to guess, I would say they end their careers with 8 & 6 world championship reigns respectively.
Why do so many people assume CM Punk will win several more world championships??? He has said several times that he only plans on being around a few more years & after having the lengthy WWE Title reign that he did, as well as even beating Cena's record, I don't see him being involved in the WWE/WHC title pictures much between now & his departure from the WWE. But I don't think he is completely done with world titles either. I see Punk retiring as a 7 time world champion.
I don't see Kane, Big Show or Chris Jericho ever holding another world title. Though I would love to see at least 1 more world title reign from Y2J & I think he deserves it.
& I wouldn't be shocked if Christian won the World Heavyweight Championship belt one last time if WWE was in a pickle & needed to throw the belt on a transistional champion for a short time. But I think it is pretty unlikely that we see Christian as world champion again.
A year or two ago I would have said Sheamus would have been a 10 time world champion, easy. He is the 2nd youngest WWE Champion of all time & he even looked like he was being pushed as the new rising face of the WWE for awhile there. But I think WWE has cooled down on him a lot & as of now he is completely out of action. So I could see him winning another couple world titles down the road if WWE wants to push him again but I don't think Sheamus will ever hit double digits for world titles, like I once thought. I would predict Sheamus ends his career with 5 World Title reigns.
I actually think Alberto Del Rio will come the closest. Even though he is a little older & has already been in the title scene a few years now, WWE is big on Del Rio & he seems to be one of the few consistent heels WWE has, especially on Smackdown. I could see Del Rio ending his career with 9 World Title reigns.

CM Punk is the only plausible one out of the choices available, right now. None of the veterans have a chance, and unless one of the newer stars break out into full main-event status, it's not gonna happen. It took 10 years for Cena and Orton to become 10x champs, expect the same for any of those guys, even Punk.
Yeah I'd expect none of these guys to make it to ten. Voted Ziggler - combination of age and potential, plus an ability to work face and heel equally well helps a lot to get a lot of main event time - can reinvent yourself between or even mid-runs, keep things fresh, have more longevity. Obviously there are exceptions, clearly Cena has dominated while only working face. He's a rare exception though - the others with 10+ have all flicked between heel and face a lot, especially Randy.
So yeah. No one, or Dolph for me. And that's a huge, huge stretch. Obviously Punk, Sheamus and Bryan are likely to get their next 3 titles sooner than Ziggler, I just don't think either can ever make it to 10.
edit: epic fail, Ziggler is older than D-Bry. wtf! Was sure he was late 20s. I guess a definitive "none" then.

Most of them will double what they have already won in WWE/WHC championships except for Kane, Jericho, Christian, and Big Show.
I don't see anyone on the current roster getting to 10. The booking seems to have tightened up on hot potatoing the WWE title which is a good thing. Plus Cena and Orton were super young when they started main eventing. Daniel Bryan and CM Punk are already in their 30's. Hell, Punk is only a year younger than Cena and says he's not going to be wrestling into his 40's. Honesty I think Cena and Orton have a better chance of winning 10 more WWE championships before anyone else on the current roster does.
Punk is the most likely of them. Del Rio is the second closest of them but i don't see him getting many more chances like this, he's been given many and he consistently sucks, same with Sheamus. Those other guys are either up and comers without many reigns or veterans who definitely won't get 5+ title reigns in their twilight years.
Hard to say though since reigns have gotten longer and they aren't just giving everyone a reign anymore.

I think nobody in near future will get 10! 10 Doesn't really matter! I would rather see longer Title Reigns!

LMAO! Shemus 6 0r 7 ( He is lucky he got one!)
None of those guys listed will get to ten. Bryan is 32 so time isn't exactly on his side. CM Punk has stated many times that he won't be around for many more years. Sheamus, Kane, Christian, Del Rio, Jericho and Big Show are all too old and/or unworthy. And Ziggler would have to get a lot more over to come even close to hitting that kind of number.
But I do believe we'll see a ten-timer in the up-and-coming generation of superstars. If Cody Rhodes can really start to connect with the crowd, he could pull it off. But he needs to find that connection soon. All of the Shield as well as Bray Wyatt are all the right side of 30 while also having fans backstage. There's some great younger guys in NXT too, Solomon Crowe is only 25. And Bo Dallas is only 23, and is really starting to embrace the hatred of the crowd. But, to be honest, you never really know where the next major star will come from.
But if I had to pick someone, I think Bo Dallas as the completely unaware, douchebag heel might just be the next guy to hit 10. He's had a lot of X-Pac heat, but he's turning that into genuine heel heat. And he's become a lot more entertaining since he's started acting intentionally heelish. Plus, he's very solid in the ring.

I actually feel there are 2 guys on here that will hit 10. I voted for Punk as i feel he is the most likely. He will be around at least another 5 years and i can easily see a reign a year for 5 years even a short one here or there. He is a top guy and will most likely be booked as a top guy until he retires so i think 10 reigns is a pretty safe bet. The other is Daniel Bryan. He's still young enough and has alot left in the tank. He's a hard worker and is hugely over if he stays in the spot hes at now and I feel he will he shouldn't have a problem getting to 10
I feel like DelRio being a heel he will get to 10x . If we see technichally Rock has his rematch clause yet to be implemented he can also be the next guy in line to be the 10x ,hes already got 8 times WWE title other two reigns he had were as WCW champ which are notified.
Hollywood Naitch
The current reigning and defending
I don't think many, if any of those guys will get to 10 reigns.
Wrestlers like Kane, Jericho, Christian, Big Show are definitely not getting to double figures due to their age or part-time status, and with the title changing hands less frequently now, I would be surprised to see guys like Sheamus or Ziggler getting to 10 reigns.
The only one that jumped out as a possibility is CM Punk, but if he isn't planning on being around alot longer- I've read something about him planning to retire in a few years, then I doubt he has enough time remaining in WWE to reach the milestone of 10 title reigns. However, if I had to pick someone from the list it would have to be Punk ,that's who I voted for anyway. He WILL get the belt again, probably a few more times, but another 5x? I doubt there will be enough time unless WWE decide to play hot potato with it, or he changes his mind on retirement, which is entirely possible.
