Will they/Won't they?

Moneymaker

List of guys here and whether or not they will become WWE Champion and when/how it might happen;

Roman Reigns: Seems inevitable. Maybe as soon as Wrestlemania 31, as Royal Rumble winner?

Dean Ambrose: I'd say yes, but not for a while yet. Possibly as a 'Corporate' Champion.

Seth Rollins: Least likely of the three Shield guys, but I still say yes, but it could be 4-5 years down the line. He's so great in the ring I think fans will get behind him more and more. Needs to improve his mic skills.

Cesaro: Before the end of the year imo. Guys being pushed hard(and hugely over) with Heyman tend to become champion.

Ziggler: Sadly I doubt he'll ever be Champion, fans will always support him but I don't ever see WWE pushing him hard again.

Sami Zayn: Doubt it. He should have been on the main roster at least 6 months ago, but you never know. So many great matches ahead of him.

Bray Wyatt: Book him to beat Cena at WM, and you could have had him face DB for the title at Summerslam. In typical Super Cena fashion, he had to go over and that's hurt Bray a bit. I still think if he keeps building momentum he'll be Champion sometime next year.

Wade Barrett: Think his best chance has come and gone tbh, and that's a shame as he's a great talent.

Cody Rhodes: Still young and has a lot of years to get there, he's been lost in the shuffle lately which is very unfortunate. He should have been the one to win mitb last year.

Think I got all the obvious ones, feel free to comment/add your own.

Cesaro and Reigns most definitely, I figured Reigns to be the silent muscle who was expendable in the Shield when they first started but he's the guy getting the biggest reactions now, and he's in front of the Shield graphic instead of Ambrose.

Cesaro for me is the most exciting guy on the roster right now, putting him with Heyman was a genius move. I'd maybe change his attire a bit but am liking the no entrance music thing, long as he's put in decent feuds and built right the sky's the limit for him. Champ by Wrestlemania 31 I'd say

That is a lot of title changes in the next year.

Cesaro and Reigns are the only new champions I can see happening in the next year. The others are late 2015 onwards.

I think that might be a bit (one!) on the high side now that they only have one World Champion. How many first time WWE champs did we see in last two years?

With that in mind I see none of the guys listed winning a world title between now and mania.

Reigns to beat Brock at Mania (assuming his Triple H feud goes well) and Cesaro by end of 2015 would be it for me. Bray to wait as he is heel.

Thought this thread was going to be about Santino/Emma!

I reckon...

Roman Reigns: Yes. I'd agree next year's Mania is a good shout.

Dean Ambrose: I think yes, but further down the line.

Seth Rollins: It's hard to say. I'd say it's 50/50. I think he could make a decent babyface and I liked him on NXT. Leaning towards yes.

Cesaro: Yes, but I wouldn't say this year. I think he will win the IC Title and possibly MITB. My feeling is 2015.

Ziggler: Leaning towards no. Not in the near future, certainly.

Sami Zayn: Doubt it.

Bray Wyatt: Could see him possibly beating Bryan at Summerslam. Would make sense since he beat him at the Royal Rumble. I think he wins it at some point.

Wade Barrett: 50/50 but leaning towards no.

Cody Rhodes: I like him but no.

Another I'd add into the argument would be Big E. I think he will get there eventually as he ticks a lot of boxes. His character sucks but if that improves I think he can make it. I loved his babyface work in NXT and he was over big there. I can see him having the title in 2015/16.

I'm thinking Dean Ambrose might turn on The Shield soon. Then, while Reigns if feuding with HHH, Ambrose can feud with Bryan for the title and maybe even win it. So that would make him first on your list to become champ. Then he can feud with Reigns for the title. Could all happen in the next few months.

Ambrose would be wasted as a corporate champion. He excels at being mentally unstable so let him do that. No need for an Orton clone when he is so much better than that.

I love that promo and he has only gotten better since.

SureYWouldntYa

I can see Seth Rollins as sort of Jeff Hardy 2008 type in the title scene, losing several matches, fairly to a face champion, maybe Ambrose or Reigns, before finally getting the big win

They need to make winning the title, and especially winning for the first time, more special

Think Rhodes and Ziggler's opportunity to get near the main event went away when the world titles were unified.

The Volt

I'm optimistic for Barrett. His charisma gives him a shout, seems to be slowly getting over again although the field is populated as you've outlined well!

Cody is pretty over rated IMO. People shout out for him to get pushed, but what has he ever done when given the ball? I don't find him entertaining, and I don't think he has made the most of whatever opportunities he has been given over the years, and he has almost been around for a decade now.

I enjoyed his run on Smackdown and his IC run was the best that title has had in a long time.

He's not really been given the chance to get past the mid-upper card status.

Anyone think the wwe title and WHC will be separated come summerslam.
