6. Roman Reigns
Since the breakup of The Shield last June, Roman Reigns has been on the fast track to super stardom. Outside of big wins over Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan and a tainted Royal Rumble victory, however, he hasn't done much to prove himself as a worthy contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. While he has come a long way in a fairly short period of time, there are still legitimate claims against him that he simply isn't "ready" for the spotlight and needs more time to develop. What better way to build a future headlinder than by pairing them with an established Superstar such as Sheamus? Reigns and Sheamus have seldom crossed paths in the past, but there's the possibility that changes come after WrestleMania. It is all but confirmed at this point that Reigns is walking out of The Show of Shows as WWE World Heavyweight champion, and of course, he's going to need a handful of strong heels to work with coming out of the event. There's always Seth Rollins, but it remains to be seen how Bray Wyatt and Rusev will fare as top stars coming out of their respective matches with The Undertaker and John Cena. With rumors running rampant that Sheamus might be brought back to TV as a top heel, a feud between them over the prestigious prize is only inevitable.
