Christian and R-Truth aren't being considered in my list as of now, but they'll surely make the list when they're back.
8. Kevin Nash - Sure, he hasn't had a match yet, but he's making his presence known. He's a legend, he took out HHH, and he's letting the world know he's not one to be fucked with.
7. Jack Swagger - Swagger's taking a backseat to Ziggler right now, but he's a former world champion and a strong upper mid-carder. Swagger will be back on top one day, but not in the near future, not before the six below him get world titles.
6. Wade Barrett - Finally, Barrett's getting recognized as a legitimate threat, and a feud with Orton could put him right in line for the title. The Barrett Barrage is stronger than ever, and it's good to see him doing his thing on his own. The only reason he's sixth on the list is because the five below him are incredible.
5. Dolph Ziggler - Ziggler has it all: the charisma, the look, the mic skills and the talent. Wrestling in two matches at PPV's is an impressive feat and looks great on the resume. He's still holding onto the US title, but he's doing everything right today. It's only a matter of time before he's in the title picture.
4. Cody Rhodes - Rhodes is one of the best workers in the business today. It's incredible how he shot up from an afterthought to a title contender so quickly. The Intercontinental title is gaining it's prestige, but he needs to lose the title in order to move up the charts. Throw it on Ted, and give Cody a one on one world title shot.
3. The Miz - The upcoming rumored Miz-Punk feud for the WWE title is going to help Miz significantly. The man was victorious in the main event at Wrestlemania. He fell off a little, got fired and jobbed to Cena and Rock, but now that Truth is out of the picture for a while, Miz is going back to the top. I don't see him winning the title before Wrestlemania, especially since Truth will want his revenge, but he's a main event player, and has been for quite some time.
2. Alberto Del Rio - Del Rio just lost the WWE title, but he has a shot this Monday. He's a great worker, and while his mic skills may be "boring", he's a hell of a performer. I can't see him fall down the rankings too far after he's out of the title picture.
1. Mark Henry - The world heavyweight champ is on top of this list. He's making the most of his first world title, and looks more impressive than ever. He's the best heel in the business right now, and he could hold the title all the way to Wrestlemania.
8. Kevin Nash - Sure, he hasn't had a match yet, but he's making his presence known. He's a legend, he took out HHH, and he's letting the world know he's not one to be fucked with.
