From @coolio83: Now that Rollins/Reigns have moved up the ladder who do you think is next in line? Ambrose? Zayn? Owens? Neville? Others?
There are so many of them, but I think the three NXT guys you mentioned are the ones that WWE are really going to try to build up over the next year or two. Definitely add the likes of Finn Balor and Hideo Itami to the mix as well. That group of five (Zayn, Owens, Neville, Balor and Itami) that are so experienced and have been well received by the fans are definitely on their way to stardom. As for main roster guys, Ambrose will probably break through at some point. He's either going to get there as a face or turn heel in order to reach the top. His history with both Rollins and Reigns certainly helps him. Rusev's another wrestler that has the skills to step up as a top guy in the near future. The hope is that a guy like Ziggler can break through to the top. Even though he's been a World Heavyweight Champion before and he's been in WWE for about a decade, he really hasn't been pushed in such a way where he's viewed as a consistent main eventer even though he has the talent to be there. A lot of former main eventers like Randy Orton, John Cena, Daniel Bryan and others are in the mix too. They're not going away.
