Who should be the next champion(s).

[MartialHorror]

So the WHC is Seth Rollins, the Tag Team champs are New Day, the IC champ is Bryan, Nikki is the Diva champ and the U.S Champ is Cena. Who do you think should be the next champions? Just to make it interesting, try to avoid the current contenders.

Tag Team: If Harper and Rowan are reuniting, I think they should get the belts sooner than later. They deserved a win against the Uso's, but presumably WWE didn't want to put belts on them before they did Bray...who is still waiting. No one seems to care for the Ascension and the Lucha Dragons should wait a little longer. There needs to be a compelling storyline surrounding the Lucha's victory.

Intercontinental: This is tough because we're not sure on the status of Daniel Bryan. If he returns as champ, I'd be interested in Sheamus pursuing this. If not, I think Ryback could use the belt.

U.S: I might get some crap for this, but I actually want to see Swagger defeat Rusev (presuming he wins) for this belt. In my eyes, Swagger made Rusev with their awesome matches and I think a victory would be an awesome pay-off. However, Swagger has been demoted to irrelevancy, so they'd have to rebuild him. I'd also say Sandow, but it seems like he is also in the process of being buried. Ryback could also be a worthy contender for this belt as well.

Diva: Don't care! I think turning Nikki face was an incredibly stupid idea, almost as dumb as turning Naomi heel. I feel like Naomi entered this feud as the underdog and continues to be the underdog despite being the villain, which means she should not win the belt. Paige getting the belt means little as she's already had it twice within the last year. I guess...Brie? If Nikki was a heel, this could've worked. But now, I dunno. They need someone from nXt to salvage this train wreck of a division.

WHC: Reigns is my top choice, but the problem is he's feuding with Rollins right now and that contradicts my initial goal with this thread...But I have to stick with that as no one else seems ready right now and Lesnar does not need another part-time run so soon. Nor do we need Orton or Cena hogging the belts quite yet. If I had to choose? Big Show (kidding!). I'd say Rusev, albeit reluctantly. Bryan probably should not be anywhere near the title scene for awhile because he seems so injury prone. Bray keeps losing to main eventers. Rusev's potential as a main eventer was deflated when Cena beat him, but he's the only one outside of Reigns who feels fresh and strong enough to go for this gold.

TAG TITLES
I don't want to see The reuniting Wyatt family to hold the title. WWE already have many good tag teams they just need to utilize them well than just adding more tag teams. But they can reunite but not for the title.

My picks would be The New Day, Kidd & Cesaro and Lucha Dragons

INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE
It should be with someone who can always put great matches. It should be with someone relevant. With Daniel Bryan out with an injury, I would recommend the NXT aluminis in the IC title scene.

My pick would be Neville, Dolph Ziggler, King Barrett and Cody Rhodes

UNITED STATES TITLE
A solid midcarder who never had much of a feud with John Cena should be the next Champion. Because that'll make Cena against a new feud. It doesn't matter if he's a top babyface or not

My picks would be Damien Sandow (Intellectual Saviour), Luke Harper, Hideo Itami (if he's gonna debut so soon) and Tyler Breeze

WORLD HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
It should be obviously Brock Lesnar! Seth should hold the title till Brock returns and Seth dropping the title should be the end of The Authority. If Roman Reigns develops his character by the next Wrestlemania, then he can take it away from him and get the redemption!

Cheers!!

Tag Titles - Cesaro and Kidd
Cesaro and Kidd won the titles back at Fast Lane as heels but over time fans begin to appreciate their talent which helped made the transition to fan favorites easier. However, New Day cheated to defeat them at ER, these past couple of weeks have Cesaro and Kidd back in the chase which also gives the fans something to look forward to the day where Cesaro and Kidd finally win the tag titles again.

Divas - Naomi
Nikki had a lengthy reign and she's a face now. Paige is out of the picture but will be back soon. A face vs. face Nikki vs. Paige feud wouldn't work, they've dominated the Divas title scene in 2014 and early 2015, let Naomi win the title, a fresh face in the Divas division. Also, with the return of Tamina, it presents another set of options in a Nikki/Naomi feud. Meanwhile when Paige returns, she faces a new opponent, Naomi.

US - Neville
Cena has been elevating the title, consistently defending it and putting on good matches. Whoever beats him would be huge for their resume. Who else better to get the honors than Neville.

IC - Ziggler
WWE needs a fan favorite to hold the title since Bryan is hurt and BNB recently had the title earlier this year, who else better than the #2 face in the IC title division. Also, with Sheamus feuding with Ziggler, he'd make the perfect #1 contender for the title

WHC - Ambrose
Orton recently had a lengthy reign, Reigns is not ready, however, Ambrose may be. He's over. He's been over since last summer and him and Rollins got history and it would be a testament to Ambrose's hard work and good attitude if he won the title. Brock would have been my other choice as champion but with his limited dates and the mid card still being weak, it wouldn't be wise to try to replicate Fall 2014.

 

[Mustang Sally]

Tag team: I'm also for Harper/Rowan. Pro wrestling possesses a subtlety today that makes it so different than yesterday. In the past, if old partners reunited, you would've seen Harper & Rowan embracing in the ring and acting as if all the bad history was instantly forgotten. On Smackdown, Rowan turned on the fallen Fandango and exited the ring without acknowledging Harper, leaving us to wonder what Mensa Erick's true intentions are. It was great theater, yet we're figuring it means the two will team again. If they do, winning the tag title is a logical move because they feature as a true team, based on history. I'm all for it.

Intercontinental: As the OP says, much depends on Daniel Bryan's status for the near future. If he can't go, I like the idea of Sheamus attaining the belt since he's tasted status as a main event performer, which is something the company seems to want as titleholder in midcard division.

U.S.: I hope they leave Cena as champ for a good long while. As intended, he's breathed new life into the lesser title with his presence and his "open challenge" program. Plus, his being champ of a minor division probably pleases detractors who don't want him having anything to do with the world championship chase. Of course, he'll eventually go back to that and when he does, I can see Rusev winning the US belt, either directly from Cena or, more likely, in a 3 or 4 man match. The irony remains with Rusev; a superb performer with anti-American leanings holding the US title.

Diva: First, Nikki Bella is overdue to lose the belt; she's held it long enough. Second, Paige will return from her absence and I believe the fans will be excited enough to see her that she'll win the belt from Nikki......very soon after she gets back.

World: While I see the ever-improving Roman Reigns eventually being the world champ, I don't think management is ready to put him there yet, for the same reasons they decided not to anoint him at WM31. Honestly, I think Seth Rollins will hold the belt until WM32, unless they plan to turn Brock Lesnar face and have him take out Seth at Summerslam or the Royal Rumble. But if management doesn't plan to have Brock win the belt in 2015, I believe Roman will be the next world champion next April. If he's not ready by then, he probably never will be.

 

[OYDK]

Tag Team: All depends on whether Harper and Rowan reunite as a face team, or reunite at all for that matter. We've seen it before... expect one thing and get something completely different. That being said, I think they will reunite but doubt they'll be the next champions. New Day vs Harper and Rowan doesn't really appeal to me for a number of reasons... mainly because they're both heels. I think the Lucha Dragons will take the titles off of New Day and than begin a feud with Harper and Rowan from there.

Intercontinental: I'm with the majority. If Bryan can't compete than Sheamus is a logical choice, especially with a face Cena as US Champ. Sheamus is hot right now and will keep the legitimacy of the belt at a high.

US: I don't have a clue. Mainly because I have no idea where they are going to go with Cena after Rusev... He can legitimately feud with anybody from Dolph Ziggler to Dean Ambrose to Neville to Kevin Owens going forward. I'll throw my closest pick out there though... Ryback. I see a heel turn coming for Ryback in the near future and a long feud with Cena would be a good first step. Don't see this happening for a while though as Cena will probably carry the strap for a good while.

Diva's: It will be Naomi. It's all perfectly set-up at this point. Naomi takes out Paige, Naomi wins title, Paige returns to feud with Naomi for said title. Tamina's the X-factor in all of this.

WWEWHC: I think Lesnar will take it from Rollins at the Rumble next year. He's you're biggest attraction, and if WWE is serious about breaking the attendance record in Arlington, than Lesnar is the logical headliner. I know a lot of people want to see a Shield triple threat, but I'm not sure WWE is sold on that match as a Mania headliner right now.

 

[ASKane]

Tag Titles - Cesaro and Kidd
I think the Wyatt Family should reunite for Bray's benefit first before helping Rowan and Harper, Lucha Dragons are a very entertaining team but I think a few month chase is the best option so I think Cesaro and Kidd are the best option. Both have the talent to be main eventers but dont have what Vince wants so to get that level of talent in the tag divison is good. I would like to see them win a Multi Team TLC/Ladder match at MITB next month

US Championship - Rusev
This is mainly because he is in a title match at Payback and can't afford to take a loss. I think he has to beat Cena by any method of BS WWE can think of because if he says I Quit he is the next Umaga, the dominant beast with a good manager who ends up getting stuck in the midcard because he lost the big matches

IC Title if Bryan is done - Neville
The biggest issue for NXT guys establishing themselves is getting the time and spotlight to show their talent, Neville has had this but in order to sustain the high profile spotlight he needs a key feud or a run with the title and the IC is the best one, maybe in a Ladder match at MITB v Sheamus, Ziggler and Barrett

IC Title if Bryan is Healthy - Sheamus
Sheamus came back saying he wanted to eliminate the small underdogs in the WWE and picking on an injured Daniel Bryan (in kayfabe) would benefit him and give his heel turn the legitimising victory it needs

Divas Title - Naomi
She is talented and missed her shot at winning it at Mania 30 from AJ when Aksana screwed up, I also want to see this happen because the quicker the Bella's are away from the title the more likely I am to return to paying an interest in it. If Eva Marie has got better in the ring I wouldn't mind seeing her as champ as she was the whole package minus talent

WHC - Roman Reigns
I wanted it at Mania and still want him to get his run, I dont believe the theory that he is not ready and would like to see him get the opportunity to prove it, I would also like to see Rollins get a good run so maybe win it at MITB and then build have Lesnar come bacck at Battleground when ROllins and Reigns are rematching and build to a triple threat between Reigns, Rollins and Lesnar at Summerslam

Completely went against the new contenders idea but WWE have been smart with who they have positioned in the spots but maybe not good with how they got them there

 

[LBGetBack]

So the WHC is Seth Rollins, the Tag Team champs are New Day, the IC champ is Bryan, Nikki is the Diva champ and the U.S Champ is Cena. Who do you think should be the next champions?

WHC, I'd like to see Lesnar regain it. He's the best they have, the biggest attraction, he's still in his prime, and when he returns he is set to be an enormous bad ass face(Austin type) for awhile at least. Opportunities this perfect don't come along too often, and must be taken advantage of.

Tag teams? For a bit of a curveball, I'd like to see Reigns and Ambrose re-unite, and win the tag titles and have a run together, before eventually breaking up and feuding.

IC title - Neville. However, not for awhile! Right now is way too soon. If they can hold off until Summerslam, that would be better. If Bryan can actually wrestle and drop it, perfect. If not, start a tournament....and do it right! Draw it out a bit, build it, hype it first. Maybe have qualifying matches to even get in the tournament. Make it a big deal.

U.S. title - First, this is the best thing going right now. Cena gets to make the young guys look awesome, while going on a long winning streak that nobody is mad about! It works. Eventually, I'd like to see Ziggler take it from him.

Divas title - Well, for awhile....nobody. There's nobody ready that deserves it, and Nikki should get a long reign and maybe some actual consistent booking. She's doing great with what is given to her. Eventually I'd like to see someone new like Charlotte(after proper build) win it.

 

[thebigbadfox]

I agree with someone who said ziggs for us title. Would be great run to knock of cena.
IC title in suprised no one name Owens Asa debut to crush Bryan or whoever has it.
Tag titles is tricky bc u want new day to have a long reign to cement there heel status but for arguments sake maybe a returning team like Dudleys (not that there is any rumor of them returning). could win them and then loose them back to new day and give them the rub.
As for wwewhc it gets tricky bc no one deserves it other than lesner. And I am in the camp that did not like his reign bc of his lack of showing up. If he could commit to slightly more shows. Even 2 a month i would be fine with him. Other wise to pick someone different and although I already mentioned him in U.S. Title picture. Ziggs after all his momentum he had would be a good champ even just for shortterm. Show some faith in the man

 

[mkw1962]

TAG TEAM TITLES: The New Day is not to bad for now, I like them being heels and cheating to win. Cesaro & Kidd had there chance, I don't like Los Matadores and The Accension they are not ready. The Lucha Dragons are getting there and your best Tag Team is out of action (USOS). I would say form some new Tag Teams like Luke & Erik they are ready to be Champs, I could see Sheamus & Wade wearing the Straps. For now The New Day.
DIVAS TITLE: Nikki is fine for now but they need to change it up, Naomi with Tamina by her side would be cool. I would like to see Brie take the title as well. I am still waiting for Charlotte to come up, next will be Naomi.
INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE: Daniel would be a great champ but with him hurt I would give it to Wade for now. Your new champ will be Neville.
UNITED STATES TITLE: John Cena is fine, I like the open challenge. I can see as your next champ being Ryback or Sheamus maybe even Dolph.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: I like Seth for now but do not give it back to Brock, he is good but we do not need a part time champ again. Roman is getting there I would say give Roman the title around Suvivor Series. Dean can win Money in the bank, I say the next champ will be Randy.

 

[GeTiTT]

Tag Team Titles- I go with either Prime Time Players or Kidd/Cesaro. Kidd/Cesaro seems more likely as i feel it would be a stronger story for the hopefully reuniting Wyatts to feud with Kidd/Cesaro. If it is PTP i can see them feuding longer with New Day and eventually going into a feud with the Ascension. which ever way they go it has to be a Heel team coming on top (Wyatts or Ascension) to feud with the Usos when Jey returns.

IC title- hoping that Daniel Bryan vacates the title and what it looks like is they are setting up a 4-way feud between Barrrett, Sheamus, Ziggler, Neville. I think it would be best for Sheamus to take the title and feud with DB when he returns and use the title to get back into the Main Even ranks.

US title- I am hoping that Rusev wins at Payback and goes on to feud with Ryback (they never went anywhere with this feud and i think it will be good to continue to elevate Ryback.) Ryback comes off on top to be US champion.

Divas title- Naomi wins the title at Payback, defends the title on Raw against Nikki while keeping on to the title. Paige returns and her and Naomi feud for the title until Summerslam. Naomi continues to hold on to the title. I think then we either see Tamina turn on her (turning Naomi face again) or we see a debut of Charolette. i would like to see Tamina get her chance on top before they debut another NXT star.

WWE title- simple ROMAN REIGNS at SUMMERSLAM!!

 

[Kizzani]

So many people want to see all these same ol same ol champions, many people just want to see all their fan favorite be champion ...woohooo all face champions, we can box out heels and have all good guys.....Weee....Grow up. Wrestling likes to draw from real life and the fact is Good guys and hard workers don't get ahead in life, the cutthroat (Triple H) back stabbers get to the top.
But the question wasn't who you WANT, it was who SHOULD be. Wanting Kidd and Cesaro to hold the strap does nothing we know they are good, and make a great team, but having they feud with the pathetic new day is crap. Personally I don't think it is best for business to have them drop the title to next up and comers.
Divas Title
Naomi is the Obvious choice, even though Bella has impressed me in the ring she still have that model look best served in a bikini or on total divas. Naomi has that sexy girl and powerful mix, I would hate to see Divas turn into Knockouts crap.

Tag Titles
European something (Barrett and Sheamus) These two guys would make an awesome pairing both Ex world Champions, Both Ex IC champions , Both King of the ring winners etc putting these guys together could become a dominate tag team, People are still 50/50 split on like and dislike. They could feud start with Lucha dragons ( and that small guy smashing mode) and move up to Kidd. This could push Kidd and Cesaro to a legit face team instead of a default face because they are fighting New Day.

US title

Now that Rusev undefeated streak is over, and Lana is about to hit that break up (as always) Rusev really has no purpose. Having someone like Ziggler take advantage. People love seeing Ziggler and him being a little guy savior is getting old. They want prestige Ziggler give that, They want to defended a lot more, Ziggler needs to show he can constantly go without injury. Second Choice R-Truth with "Give truth a chance"

IC Title

The IC title would be great on Seth Rollins as he builds back up to a world title run, since hearing the curb stomp was removed I have been waiting to see his new finisher and so far I am very unimpressed... But the IC run would give him a chance to take on all comers and work on his new finisher.
My Second Choice is Bray Wyatt. He doesn't need it unlike other stars like Dbry, Wyatt doesn't need a title or even a win to still draw the audience deep into his world. But he has lost to so many it would be nice to see the man rewarded for his efforts.

World Title

As much as I dislike the fact of Seth Rollins dropping the strap, I would think Dean Ambrose would give the best anti authority person just like Roddy, DX, or SCSA did. It would make for a very interesting story. This would give time for Lesnar to come back and try and get his title from Ambrose but Regins gets involved, setting up Regin v Lesnar. When Regins wins, it sets up a rubber match for the future.
With Ambrose being the Lunatic fringe as they say, it wouldn't matter of the person was face or heel Ambrose could go with him. I think Rollins v Ambrose is a nice set up and the authority to really screw Orton make him the special guest ref.

 

[HBKistheHOF]

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Dean Ambrose - With the recent rumors of him turning heel again & the fact that Roman seems to be better off chasing for awhile, I could actually see him turning at Payback & winning the WWE Title that night. Then Roman could win MitB & either thrust Seth in there & have a triple threat for the title at Summerslam or if Ambrose is having a really good reign they could hold out until Mania next year, have Rollins win the 2016 Rumble match & have the triple threat at WM 32.

I.C. Title: Sheamus - With Bryan out injured it only makes sense to have Sheamus face Dolph or whoever for the vacant title & get some revenge since in terms of story line I believe it was Sheamus who took out Bryan. After Sheamus starts to maintain some more momentum I'd love to see a face Cesaro rise up through the ranks & use his strength to defeat "the big ol' bully" for the IC Title down the road as well.

U.S. Title: Neville - I could see a few different guys beating Cena for the U.S. Title but I think the rub needs to go to a guy that is fresh & can really do something with the momentum, & I think that guy is Neville! Having an NXT guy beat Cena for the title would be huge & if it's not going to be Sami Zayn, then it should be Neville. I also think Neville could have a great feud with a heel Tyson Kidd for the title afterwards.

Tag Team Championships: The Prime Time Players - The New Day needs a solid babyface tag team to take the titles from them, & one of the Usos is out right now & I don't see Cesaro & Kidd lasting as a team for much longer, so I think the next best option is PTP. Their vignettes have been funny lately & are a perfect contrast to New Day's nerdy, over-positivity. & not only did PTP never get a run with the titles prior but after that it would leave them open to feud with The Ascension, the reunited Wyatt Family if they team again & the newly heel Los Matadores.

Divas Championship: Tamina Snuka - I think Naomi is still coming into her own & is better in the chase right now kind of like Roman, so a cool twist could be for Tamina to turn face & cost Naomi a shot at the title or something, win the Divas Title herself & then they could feud for the title & if Naomi is finally ready by then (which I think she would be), Naomi could beat Tamina for the title.

 

[Aquaman6686]

WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Dolph Ziggler: With Daniel Bryan injured again, Ziggler is the most over guy in the company. WWE has had opportunity after opportunity to make Ziggler the top star, and continually refuses to do so. I always find it amazing that Vince doesn't want to push Ziggler because he's "injury-prone". How much time has Ziggler spent on the injured list? A month and a half out of his 7 years on the roster? Compare that to guys like John Cena, Randy Orton, or Batista, who missed months at a time, several times. The injury excuse is crap. Dolph Ziggler should be THE top guy in the company.

Intercontinental Championship - Sheamus: If WWE needs a top monster heel, they have nobody better than Sheamus. He's better in-ring than someone like Ryback, and he's actually AROUND, unlike Brock Lesnar (who isn't a tenth of what he used to be in 2002-2004 anyway). With Bryan out, put the title on the line in a tournament and have Sheamus win it.

United States Championship - Jack Swagger: Although I see a heel winning the title off John Cena eventually, Jack Swagger should be the next long-term champion. WWE missed a MASSIVE opportunity to make him into a top star last year when they foolishly fed him to Rusev 56,798 times. Swagger is the guy who should have beaten Rusev, he was white-hot and is in WWE's top handful of in-ring performers. Jack Swagger is always a good choice.

WWE Tag Team Championship - Tyson Kidd & Cesaro: These two were really starting to build some serious momentum and were getting very over with the crowd when they dropped the belts to The New Day. I see them quickly regaining the titles and holding them for another few months.

Divas Championship - Paige: I really hope they don't take the title off Nikki Bella for at least another few months, but when they do, Paige is the one to do it. She's the best overall wrestler in the Divas division right now and a perfect foil to Nikki Bella, who has become the best Diva on the roster right under everyone's noses. Paige vs. Nikki Bella is the best Divas feud in years.

 

[The Kiz]

WHC - Roman Reigns
It's time to give Reigns the title run he deserves, it all depends on how long they want to keep the strap on Rollins, because they need to be careful not to give him too short a title run because it'll be made into a joke otherwise.
I'd perhaps have Reigns win at Summerslam or Survivor Series, one of the big events where it'd mean something with lots of build up.

Divas Champion - Naomi
The time is finally right to give Naomi the title, as a heel, new attitude and character. Pushing Nikki and Brie as faces seems to be the way forward, but with Naomi as champion there are a lot of new feuds that could be made from this.

IC Champion - Sheamus
Sheamus as the champion is right for me, I don't think Bryan can continue to hold off with this injury, and it was always a strange decision to put the title on him at Wrestlemania considering he'd only just returned from a lengthy injury.
Sheamus is on form right now, and feuds with the likes of Ziggler, Neville or even a new person in the picture would be refreshing.

 

[Messiah]

WWE Champion: Roman Reigns, not for a while, let Rollins run with the title for a bit, but Reigns is clearly the next guy who should hold the title. He's got all the tools and is improving more every week. And WWE needs to continue to build more stars like Reigns.

Tag Team Championship: Prime Time Players. They should of got the titles a few year's back but they didn't. Now that they're reunited WWE should build them up as a top tag team, giving them the straps will help them with that.

United States Championship: This is a tough one, the next US. Champion will go over John Cena which will be a huge rub for him if he defeats Cena clean. Maybe they should give it to an NXT guy who they have big plans for.

Intercontinental Championship: Now that the IC Title is vacant and it will likely be defended in an Elimination Chamber later this month, they can give the title to anyone they choose. Dean Ambrose or King Barrett would be good options.

Divas Title: Naomi obviously, there's really no other option right now. Naomi has never had the title and she's finally got enough steam and character development to hold the title. She's not irrelevant anymore like she use to be.

 

[MKick]

You requested that we not use the obvious choices, but I'm not sure I can do that. The roster just isn't large enough for me to do it.

Divas Title
Charlotte. I think she's winding down in NXT right now, and she'll be called up to feud with the Bellas soon enough.

Tag Titles
Cesaro & Kidd will win them back. It looks like there will be a renewed push for the tag division, and I expect those two to be the face of it. Failing that, the Primetime Players .

IC Title
Dean Ambrose. The next IC champ has to be a face, and a popular one at that. That's because I think this person will go onto to have a fued with John Cena and unify the titles, leading me to...

US Title
Dean Ambrose. I think he'll unify them. This should have been Bryan, but with him out I don't see it happening.

WHC Title
Dean Ambrose. You have to be sick of seeing me type this right? Well it makes some sense. I expect Rollins to have the title for a very long time. So much so that Ambrose will have won, unified, and lost the US/IC titles and moves on to Seth.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Dean Ambrose

As of right now, the only guy I'd be interested in seeing win the title is Dean Ambrose, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Vince MIGHT still have his heart set on Reigns but, in my eyes, Ambrose is the stronger candidate in terms of overall ability and the likelihood fans would rally behind him as a babyface champion, or tweener champion. Reigns has a better shot of being accepted as a heel champion, at least in my opinion, as I feel there are just too many fans dead set against rallying against Reigns as champ while a babyface. I've no interest in Orton getting another run, not hating on the guy as I'm a fan of Orton; like many other fans, however, including those who're Orton fans, I'm just uninterested in him as World Champion again. When you have someone that was a half dozen time World Champion before he turned 30 and has had another half dozen since, there's just not a lot of fresh things to be done.

WWE Intercontinental Championship - Sheamus

I have to go with majority right now; I think Sheamus is at his best when he's a heel and he hasn't been remotely this interesting or easy to get into in several years. For a good portion of the past 18 months or so, Sheamus has been sidelined by injuries that've kept him on the shelf for months at a time and he has momentum right now. He gets the "You Look Stupid" chants, but they're done in the way you want for a heel because fans are into the new persona as he hasn't been booked to look like a chump. Neville has a ton of momentum going for him right now, though I think he needs a bit more time. He's been on the main roster for less than 2 months and he's making waves, positively I might add, but I wouldn't mind seeing Neville be maybe the 3rd guy to go after Sheamus as IC champ. Sheamus feuding with Ziggler over the title could extend their feud to a few more matches, maybe move Ryback up to challenge him next in what could be a solid feud between two big brawlers, then MAYBE set something up with Neville winning the strap after Sheamus has had it for at least a good 5 or 6 months.

WWE United States Championship - POSSIBLY Ryback

Off the top of my head, I could see Ryback finally winning a championship and doing so over Cena. Using Ryback's hypothetical feud against Sheamus, it could be used to make Ryback look like a beast while still coming out on the losing end with Sheamus still looking like a strong champion. It could be accomplished by always having Ryback look as though he's only an eyelash away from having beaten Sheamus, but Sheamus was able to stay just ever so slightly ahead of him. Ryback chasing for the IC title, telling what having an opportunity for it has meant to him, admitting that he's very disappointed in himself while still giving Sheamus respect but ultimately stating that being so close to championship glory only to fail has made him even hungrier for it; John Cena's all about giving opportunities, so maybe Ryback is the man to step up and ultimately make good a bit later down the line.

WWE Tag Team Championship - Harper & Rowan

Personally, I'd love to see Harper & Rowan have a strong run as heel tag champions, I still have no real idea why WWE split them up in the first place, or The Wyatt Family as a whole for that matter. At any rate, especially if they had Wyatt back as their shepherd, they could be a team to help establish Kidd & Cesaro and The Lucha Dragons as top babyface contenders. Even though both teams are faces, I don't feel like they're really established as faces given that they haven't really been up against heels who're viciously brutal.

WWE Divas Championship - Naomi

While I'm not 100% sold on her heel turn yet, I think they've done a good job with her so far. She's got the athletic ability, she's definitely improved on her timing in the ring and we know she has personality; plus, she's worked hard and has paid her dues over the course of the last 3+ years she's been on the main roster.

 

[CrucifiedRaven]

Divas: Paige defeats Nikki whenever she returns
Tag Team: Would like to see Cesaro & Kidd win it back
US: Who beats Cena? Would be great if it goes back to Rusev at Payback, but I bet it will be Neville or Barrett
IC: Dean Ambrose wins it at Elimination Chamber
World: Brock Lesnar
