#1 The surprise - Aleister Black
Aleister Black could very well be the new NXT champion come Sunday April 8th, as he challenges Andrade 'Cien' Almas for the title at TakeOver: New Orleans, and what better way to ensure his name is feared in the locker room than have him enter and win the Battle Royal at WrestleMania.
This has been done before with Baron Corbin whilst he still wrestled on NXT, but having a legitimate fighter show up as new champion and then defeat main roster superstars could be a powerful message to send to the locker room.
Everything about Black is different and this is what the WWE universe is shouting out for in 2018. They are tired of seeing Reigns main event WrestleMania 4 years in a row, and do not want another John Cena run at the championship, so putting someone like Black into the mix is a breath of fresh air.
