Who will be champion before the year comes to an end?

There are so many talented people on the WWE roster in 2019, but unfortunately not all of them will get a chance to become champion this year, and some might never get to win a title in the company. However, there are currently 10 championships on the main roster, so Superstars have a better chance than ever to win a bit of gold.

WWE should decide to take a few risks in order to make new stars. If someone on this list isn't particularly over, put the title on them and let them run with it. They could crash and burn, or they could become a huge star.

It's WWE so anyone could become a champion. Of course, it's more likely to be someone tall with big muscles but realistically it could still be anyone. It could be Roman Reigns or a returning Hornswoggle, for all we know. On this list, we will be looking at people who could win a title before the end of the year. We aren't counting Sasha Banks or Charlotte Flair, or anyone who had a title match at Clash of Champions.

#3 Aleister Black

He wants to fight people, why not challenge a champion?

Aleister Black hasn't done much since he was called up after WrestleMania 35. He was moved away from his former tag team partner Ricochet and went back to being a singles wrestler. He has had some good matches with Cesaro and had a good match with Shelton Benjamin on SmackDown recently, even though the match only went about two minutes.

Black needs to do something if he wants the WWE fans who didn't watch NXT to remember him and what could be better than challenging for the WWE Championship? Black had a good run with the NXT Championship and wouldn't have to hold the title for very long, but they could at least give him a chance.

#2 Chad Gable

WWE King of the Ring winner?

Whether or not Chad Gable wins the King of the Ring tournament, it's clear WWE might have some big plans for him. They may mock him every week for being short, but he has made it to the finals and is over with the fans. Gable could see a big WWE push before the end of the year.

Obviously, it's very unlikely that Gable is in contention for the WWE Championship, but he could be in the Intercontinental Championship picture. This is the only belt that currently makes sense since Gable in on SmackDown. If FOX wants WWE to have a more sports oriented bend, they should have a genuine Olympian become Intercontinental Champion, and be presented on the show as a bonafide athletic star.

WWE really has the chance to make a new star, even if Gable doesn't win King of the Ring. They need to take this opportunity and create a new Superstar, in a similar way to how Daniel Bryan became a star back in 2013.

#1 Bray Wyatt

The Fiend should become champion at Hell in a Cell

Seth Rollins was victorious over Braun Strowman at Clash of Champions and will face a new challenger at Hell in a Cell. That challenger is Bray Wyatt's brand new alter-ego, The Fiend. The Fiend made himself noticed after attacking Rollins post-match at Clash of Champions.

Wyatt must win the title and there can be no debate about that. The Fiend is the most talked about Superstar in WWE today, is extremely over with the fans, and having him win the Universal Championship makes way too much sense. If he lost, then it would absolutely kill his momentum. He could come back from it, but if he is the hottest thing on the roster, just give him the championship and let him run with it.

The Fiend has already beat a former WWE Universal Champion (Finn Balor) and he is ready for his very first opportunity to carry the Universal Championship.
