#2 Drew McIntyre
It is a crime that Drew McIntyre is yet to register a singles championship victory since his return to RAW in 2018. He has been a constant menace in the upper echelons of the card, but has never been granted a legitimate chance at any gold. With the ultimate good guy currently enthroned as United States Champion, 'The Scottish Psychopath' has the opportunity to carve out a championship run for himself.
His massive presence would create a very fascinating visual, one that we have seen time and time again in Mysterio's matches against significantly larger opponents over the years. McIntyre and Mysterio could honestly get the best out of each other in the ring and story-wise, it could be a belter. A possible feud between the two could follow a similar layout to the recently concluded feud between Mysterio and Brock Lesnar.
McIntyre has the ability to get a lot of heat on himself and could deliver an equally savage beating on Dominick, similar to the one that Lesnar gave him. With 'The Beast' holding the WWE Championship, it is unlikely that McIntyre will get a sniff of the top prize at the moment. He could instead settle with making the US Championship one of the most important pieces of gold in the entire company.
