6. Neville

Neville spent his first year on the main roster consistently proving himself as a supremely talented in-ring talent, battling the likes of Stardust, Kevin Owens, and even then-WWE world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins in outstanding matches. No matter how good he was in those matches, Neville could not advance past a certain spot on the roster. He was heavily entrenched in the midcard, perpetually stuck putting others over rather than thriving on the main roster.

The brand split opens doors for Neville that were never there before. The Man That Gravity Forgot has the chance to return from his debilitating ankle injury and immediately jump into championship contention on either Raw or SmackDown.

Will he be a prominent main event star? Of course not, at least not initially. But he has the chance to compete for either the United States or Intercontinental Championship, something he did not do with enough regularity so far during his time on the main roster.
