10 Wrestlers Next In Line To Win WWE Championship

10. MJF

When thinking about the wrestlers next in line to win the biggest prize in WWE history, traditional thinking would be to list the top superstars in the company. If not the current stars of the Raw and SmackDown, wrestlers who are free agents or in NXT could also be considered as they might already have one foot in the door of WWE.

Neither is the case with Maxwell Jacob Friedman as not only is the Long Island native still employed by All Elite Wrestling, his current contract does not end until 2024, according to reports. Despite all of that, there is no denying the drawing power of The Salt of the Earth if he would open the forbidden door and join WWE. Still only 26 years old, MJF has already been pegged as the future of professional wrestling, no matter what company he wrestles for.

Should Maxwell Jacob Friedman decide to let his AEW contract expire in a little over a year and join WWE, two things would be clear. First, it would not come cheap, as the leader of The Pinnacle knows his worth, stating so both on AEW programming and in countless interviews. Second, big things would be in store for the Burberry clad star, chief of which would be eventually winning the WWE Championship.
