Who thought that Bray Wyatt would be a rejuvenated character in 2019? Many believed that WWE hurt Wyatt's credibility when he endured huge losses at massive pay-per-views such as WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series.

But to WWE's credit, they managed to make Wyatt a significant hit with wrestling fans once, as his new persona might have saved his career. Therefore, there is no need to beat around the bush, as Wyatt is a solid contender for Seth Rollins' Universal Title.

While most would pass up the idea of Wyatt rushing back in the main event scene, WWE could easily reintroduce him again into the title picture slowly. This would provide Wyatt with solid direction, and it can give RAW the shake-up it truly needs.


#5 Samoa Joe

Brock Lesnar vs Samoa Joe was a dream match every single wrestling fan desired. However, when we finally got the match, something felt like it was missing. Besides, one can't say that supporters did not advocate for Joe during the Summer of 2017, as the chants of his name filled every arena around the world.

This meant that WWE should've given Joe a chance to hold the World Title, but we did not see that materialise. Still, there is no reason why the WWE Universe couldn't see the former US Champion get another World Title shot down the line.

Everyone knows that Joe's WWE run can only be solidified when something of real importance has happened. Therefore, a war with Rollins would do the job of making Raw's main event scene fresh, and it would light up his career once again.
