WWE: 9 Guys Who Could Win Their First WWE Title In 2014
Wrestling fans love new blood. We also have short attention spans. Nothing excites us more than seeing new talent introduced, or new stars being created. As seen in past years, winning the top championship for the first time is a paramount moment in a superstar's career. Think back to Shawn Michaels defeating Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 12. Think of the feeling Brock Lesnar created when he dethroned The Rock at Summerslam 2002. In both circumstances, it was a changing of the guard that WWE fans were entirely ready for. However, there are times when it's done prematurely. It's safe to say Alberto Del Rio cashing in on CM Punk didn't create the same feeling. Shockingly, WWE merged their two world titles last year. It blocked some of these men from reaching the main event too quickly, which could be a blessing in disguise. Peaking too early could be a ticket to irrelevance. Ask The Miz. Once the title left him, so did fans interest. The voyage to the kingdom is often better than the actual reign, as evidenced by Stone Cold in 1997/1998. Back then, fans were ready for a guy like Stone Cold Steve Austin to win the title, because they felt like they were on a journey with him. The following 9 superstars have a chance to win fans over in the same manner, and capture the WWE Championship for the first time in 2014. Anyone else you have in mind?
