10 Wrestlers Who Should Be Future WWE World Champions
6. Bray Wyatt
Odds: 4-1 Now were getting into the guys who have a pretty good chance of becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion at some point in their careers. Being born into professional wrestling certainly ups your chances, and when your birth name is Windham Rotunda, you probably have a bigger pedigree than most. Indeed, Bray Wyatt is a third-generation wrestler who also has two uncles, Kendall and Barry Windham, who also competed in the ring. Wyatt is an enigma to many. Hes a gifted talker and talented wrestler, yet Luke Harper has more title reigns than Bray does. Wyatt has been pushed in a manner that would have you believe that hes a dominant heel, yet hes 0-2 at WrestleMania and has lost several big matches without really winning any major feuds. He just tends to lose a feud, disappear for a bit and come back to torment a new soul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5_4B1388vE If WWE ever gets itself figured out, they could have a new, brooding heel champion on its hands. (It's not like they have an army of viable heels right now.) Imagine Bray holding the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, with the Wyatt Family serving as his bodyguards, his foot soldiers. It would be an interesting site to be sure, and it would be a unique situation for WWE which is something the company really could use these days.
