3. Carlito

A United States, Intercontinental, and set of tag team titles were picked up during Carlito's first stint in the WWE system, but the talented, potential main eventer never lifted the big one.

That's not cool.

After almost 15 years away from the likes of Raw and SmackDown, though, this back-stabbing menace is well and truly back - and he looks like he's spent the majority of that time away throwing weights around various rooms.

This swole Carlito 2.0 already looks that little bit more like a top star, and if he really puts his heart and soul into achieving what he once looked destined to all those years ago, why couldn't the cocky and effortlessly cool worker finally add that world title belt to his collection?

Bobby Lashley did something similar a few years back - returning after a significant spell away, putting in the hours and proving he could offer something at the top of the card before eventually growing into one of the promotion's most reliable top guys.

It may seem like an out-there shout right now, but if Carlito is serious about this latest bite of the apple, the sky could be the limit.
