Back in the day, the New World Order was full of superstars and marquee names such as Hulk Hogan, Jeff Jarrett, Bret Hart, and even Randy Savage. However, if you'd think about it, the group did lack a big man who could work as the powerhouse of the faction. Well, up until the point the nWo decided to recruit The Big Show FKA The Giant.

With The Big Show also aligning himself with the New World Order, the faction had the services of an intimidating figure and as for John Cena's version of the group, I feel Samoa Joe would be the perfect recruitment to provide the muscles for Cena and co.

Joe has had his fair share of history with Cena, with the two men sharing the ring with each other almost 18 years ago at Ultimate Pro Wrestling. Therefore, having a superstar of Joe's caliber along with Cena in the New World Order would certainly add the star power to the faction.

Honorable Mention: The Big Show and X-Pac
Big Show with X-Pac (far right)
The Big Show is still an active wrestler on the WWE roster and we recently also saw 'The World's Largest Athlete' challenge for the WWE Championship on Monday Night RAW. Being a former member of the nWo and one of the greatest rivals of John Cena, a veteran like The Big Show would surely fit into the latter's version on the nWo, as well.
X-Pac, on the other hand, is also a fan-favorite and is one of the most charismatic superstars to ever join the nWo. I'm sure fans wouldn't mind him and Show as part of Cena's New World Order, even if it's under a managerial role.
