4 Unlikely Candidates To Become The Next John Cena

#2 Johnny Gargano

Johnny Wrestling!!

Today, NXT as a brand is probably hotter than both RAW and SmackDown Live. And a big reason behind this feat is arguably the most beloved wrestler in WWE currently, Johnny Gargano. After putting on quality matches against Andrade "Cien" Almas and Tommaso Ciampa, Gargano has become the poster boy of the promotion.

At just 30, Gargano is in his prime, and his main-roster debut is surely anticipated by wrestling fans worldwide. A complete package with unparalleled storytelling, in-ring work, incredible selling, and bringing out the best of his opponents, "Johnny Wrestling" is a great replacement to the legacy that John Cena has created and successfully carried on over the years.

One of the last true white meat babyfaces in the wrestling business today, Johnny Gargano has excelled in every feud and platform he has been on, and if WWE decides to up the ante and put him on the main-event scene, there is no doubt that Gargano has a bright future ahead.
