10 Current Superstars That Are Future WWE Main Eventers

Of all the contracted talents, who has the best chances to top the WWE card?

By Matt Davis /

Every year, the WWE's unofficial calendar begins anew after WrestleMania. The Showcase Of The Immortals has always been treated as the culmination of an entire year's worth of booking, planning, and storytelling. The new wrestling year often sees new characters debut and new feuds beginning which often includes the creation of new main eventers, sometimes as soon as the R.A.W. (RAW After WrestleMania). Regardless of when their opportunity arises, some superstars get elevated to the main event and never look back. Legends like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and Steve Austin reached the top of the card after years of working the mid card and proved to be every bit worth the wait. Other superstars like Brutus Beefcake, Lex Luger, or more recently Jack Swagger and Ryback were thrust upon the main event scene following past WrestleManas only to fall back into obscurity shortly thereafter. That leads many fans to wonder which talents that are currently signed to WWE will face the opportunity of main eventing first? Whether their opportunity comes in 2016 or beyond, the following 10 superstars have the best chances. There may be a surprise or two in the list, superstars that don't fit the traditional main event makeup kit, as well as others that may appear to be "can't miss" future main eventers. Whether or not they all remain at the top remains to be seen, but these 10 WWE/NXT superstars stand the best chance out of all the current rostered talents to see their names featured in a WWE main event before too long.
