10 Best Candidates To Take John Cena's US Title
1. Apollo Crews
Uhaa Nation made a name for himself on the indies and in Japan, and after catching the eyes of WWE's scouts, he quickly became part of the NXT roster as Apollo Crews. In less than two months on the brand, he's shown enough talent and personality to prove that he'll be a major success in WWE for years to come. He's huge, he can fly, he can wrestle, and he can control a crowd - he's got everything it takes to reach the top of the pro wrestling world.
Crews also doesn't have to worry about being labeled "damaged goods." WWE has always been quick to write off their own talent - wrestlers that they don't see as future stars are often doomed to languish in the midcard, no matter how good they are or how popular they get. Thankfully, that's not an issue for Crews - he's fresh and the company has huge hopes for him. Jumping straight into WWE with a U.S. Championship win - succeeding where even Kevin Owens failed - would ensure that Crews would be on his way to superstardom, and subsequent rematches with Cena would draw huge money.
