5 wrestlers who should become champions in 2018

Some wrestlers have the calibre to be champions. They are that good. They can give you a match for the ages. They also bust themselves every week to entertain the fans and prove themselves. But the question is do they have the charisma and ability to be champion?

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

Not everyone can taste the gold or even get near it. But WWE gives the taste of championship only to selective stars ie look at Brock Lesnar has defended the title seven times and has been champion for more than 470 days or look at John Cena who has been a 16-time World Champion since the past decade.

But in my view, everyone should get a chance to taste the gold, whether it is Singles Title or World Title or the Tag Team Title or the Women's title. Here is my list of wrestlers who should become champions by the end of 2018:

#5 The Authors of Pain (Raw Tag Team Championship)

The Authors of Pain were a force to be reckoned with in NXT

Authors of Pain are one of the best tag team on the current roster. The former NXT Tag Team Champions consists of two powerhouses, Akam and Rezar and were drafted to Raw during Super Star Shakeup. But since then, they were sidelined for months and now feuding with Titus Worldwide.

But now after four months of debuting on the main roster, it is the time they hold the Raw Tag Team titles.

The current Raw Tag Team division is stacked and B-Team(Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) as champions, they can easily make a mark and dethrone them by beating them in a few seconds. The fans would personally love to see Authors of Pain winning the titles in 2018.

#4 Becky Lynch (SmackDown Women's Championship)

Becky Lynch will face Carmella for SmackDown Women's Title at SummerSlam

Talk about the most underrated female wrestler. Becky Lynch was the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion and after that, she was never given the opportunity to become champion again.

She just became Charlotte's sidekick and was not given chances even because of how over she is with the crowd.

But after winning seven consecutive one on one matches, she was given a chance to face Carmella for a chance to win SmackDown Women's Title at SummerSlam in which she won.

Carmella's title reign has been underwhelming so SummerSlam would be the best stage for Lynch to win the title from the Queen Of Staten Island.

#3 Andrade 'Cien' Almas (WWE United States Title)

I would love to see this happen

Andrade 'Cien' Almas is currently one of the best wrestlers in the WWE. He has the abilities, skills and the looks that can help him become one of the best commodities in the industry. Almas, alongside his manager Zelina Vega can conquer great things in the future.

He was a former IWGP Intercontinental Champion in NJPW and one of the best NXT champions in history. He also gave WWE their first five-star match alongside Johnny Gargano in seven long years.

Currently performing for SmackDown Live, he can become a great WWE Champion. He has already shown that he can hang on with championship material (watch his match with AJ Styles last week). But, then why he should become a United States Champion?

A heel singles champion with a manager is the best for business. Also, his commodity will grow more than before if he first wins the United States Championship, and WWE Championship will not be then too far in the distant future.

#2 Drew McIntyre (WWE Universal Championship)

Drew McIntyre has the looks required to be a champion

Drew McIntyre is one of the most hardworking and the best wrestlers on Raw. He has the looks and charisma that is required to be a champion.

He has been in WWE before when he held the Intercontinental and Tag Team Titles, but he is now even better than before.

He wrestled outside WWE for three years, becoming Evolve Champion and TNA World Heavyweight Champion and Impact Grand Champion.

He has already proved that he can hang on with the top guys(see his match against Seth Rollins) and can give a solid match.

McIntyre doesn't need the Intercontinental Title to prove that he is World Title worthy content. He can be a great champion either as a face or a heel.

Everyone thinks Roman Reigns might beat Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam and the perfect man to beat Roman might be none other than McIntyre.

Not only it will put him in the title picture, but also give us a champion that the fans do not love to boo.

#1 Samoa Joe (WWE Championship)

Samoa Joe is set to face AJ Styles for WWE Championship at SummerSlam

Samoa Joe is a perfect combination of speed and power. Arguably one of the best wrestlers in the world right now, Joe from the start of his career has been "Championship Material" and can even cut good promos.

The Samoan Submission Machine debuted on Ultimate Pro Wrestling, and later joined Ring of Honor where he became ROH World Champion where he was the longest reigning World Champion till date in the history of the company.

Later, he joined TNA where he was a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, five-time TNA X-Division Champion and a two-time TNA World Tag Team Champion.

After a long time, he joined WWE in 2015. Also, he is the only wrestler in WWE to have three five-star matches in his career.

Joe is a former two-time NXT Champion. He joined the main roster in 2017. He has been killing it on the main roster but hasn't held any championship.

So, Joe is not a man who needs a singles title to prove himself. He should become a world champion. He is also getting a championship match against AJ Styles at SummerSlam. We know that these two will tear the house down(check their matches in other promotions) but the winner should be Joe.

After all, Styles has been a champion for so long and Joe is so good that his reign will be must watch.
