10 Best Candidates To Take John Cena's US Title

6. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler is one of WWE's most popular babyfaces, but his career trajectory hasn't reflected that. While he is scoring wins over the formerly dominant Rusev, that's more a sign of the latter's fall than any rise by Dolph. For all his talent, he's turned into one of the greatest cases of missed opportunity in WWE history, and he's currently floating around the midcard. Perhaps it's time for "The Showoff" to turn heel once again.

Cena and Ziggler have had some excellent matches in the past, and this time, there's an extra storyline if the writers choose to use it - Dolph recently appeared on Total Divas, trying to win back ex-girlfriend Nikki Bella - who's currently dating Cena. While that's no more "real" than anything that happens on Raw or Smackdown, it could still be an opportunity for WWE to introduce some synchronicity between their main TV programs and the Total Divas brand.
