Predicting WWE's champions at the end of 2018

#9 WWE Cruiserweight Champion - Drake Maverick

When Drake Maverick debuted a few weeks back, I instantly knew WWE had big plans for him on the cruiserweight scene. I’m also sure that WWE don’t just plan to use him as a GM.

He brings much more value to the show than just being an authority figure. For instance, he can actively participate in storylines. His character was eccentric in Impact Wrestling and he can bring the same eccentricity over to WWE.

I think he will be portrayed as a power-hungry heel boss who wants to win the Cruiserweight Championship for himself.

It may take some time for this to come to fruition, but expect Drake Maverick to become Cruiserweight Champion by end of the year.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
