1. Bray Wyatt

Whoever takes the belt off Roman Reigns is going to have big boots to fill. As WWE creative strategically shifts to longer title reigns and long-term storytelling, it seems likely the next champion will have to not only be a weekly draw at the forefront of storylines but bring eyes to premium live events as a regular headliner.

Outside of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins (who I didn’t include in this list, because he currently holds the World Heavyweight Championship, Bray Wyatt is the likeliest candidate to fit this role.

Wyatt has been absent from WWE television for months, but rumors are swirling about his potential return to the ring. One of the most prominent rumors is that Wyatt may return in his former Fiend gimmick, which was incredibly over with fans.

Whatever gimmick Wyatt returns with, his promo and storytelling capabilities are fantastic, he’s a compelling wrestler in the ring, and WWE would have a plethora of potential angles they could opt for if he rose to the top of the show. Wyatt has all the tools as a wrestler to lead WWE programming.
