Predicting The Next 10 WWE Universal Champions

10. Big E Beats Roman Reigns

So, surprise, Jey Uso won't be the one to dethrone his cousin. Big E, on the other hand, should.

With New Day brethren Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods out on the injured shelf, the former NXT Champion has been given a bit of a singles push as of late, something fans of the jiving big man have been clamouring for for years. In fact, he was scheduled to be part of the match to decide Reigns' challenger for Clash of Champions, but current rival Sheamus sent him crashing through a windshield to open up a spot for Jey Uso to capitalise on.

There was already a decent story you could build around Big E's ascension to the top of the card, so this ambush from 'The Celtic Warrior' just adds more fuel to the fire. Have him fight back to get to the spot he was in before being sidelined - don't simply relegate him to the mid-card and tag divisions for his entire career.

Big E could do wonders with the strap around his waist. We know he's capable of being serious when the time calls for it, as Kofi's rise to the top proved last year. A Royal Rumble victory for the multi-time tag team champion would open the door for a huge WrestleMania moment. Cue the pancake angels in the middle of the ring.
