Predicting the next 5 WWE Universal Champions

#5 Jason Jordan

The foundation has been laid for Jordan, now it's time to execute

When I first saw Jason Jordan in NXT, I was blown away by his raw athletism and overall in-ring presence. It was clear that this guy had the look of a superstar and if he continued to improve, he was going to be something special. Well, he did improve and now thanks to the attention from the Kurt Angle storyline, Jason has the perfect opportunity to step his game up to the next level, which is main event status.

The look is there, the skill is there, and all of the other intangibles are firmly in place. Now all that is needed is an opportunity. An opportunity that Jordan needs will involve him somehow getting in the mix for a top-tier title.

Luckily for Jordan, that very opportunity comes in just a couple of days at the No Mercy pay-per-view when he goes head-to-head with The Miz, with the Intercontinental Championship on the line. If Jason can succeed against The Miz and move forward with a strong IC run, the clock will then start ticking for his future shot at the big red belt.
