Roman Reigns as the World Champion.
Roman Reigns as the World Champion.Winning a World Championship is a big deal in WWE. The World Championship acts as a yardstick when people discuss the careers of great wrestlers: Ric Flair and John Cena have won 16 World Titles each; wrestlers like Jeff Hardy and Daniel Bryan worked all their lives to become a world champion.

#3 Rusev

The popular Bulgarian wrestler has not yet been a World champion.

After joining the main roster in 2014, Rusev emerged as a monstrous heel who had an undefeated streak of 146 days. After his streak ended, he failed to get a solid push and dropped down to being a punching bag and putting other wrestlers over.

His run as a United States Champion was also short-lived, as he lost the title to Roman Reigns only a few months later. The creative team was then unsuccessful in giving him a proper storyline.

His recent "Rusev Day" gimmick is getting a lot of support from the fans, and WWE should see this as a new opportunity for him to be the top superstar that he was destined to be. His in-ring skills are as good as anyone else's, and a World Championship run will be a huge boost for his career.
