7. Neville
Neville finds himself a few steps ahead of Zayn in their respective paths to main-roster stardom. Gradually becoming an accepted member of Monday Night Raw, the Englishman has been given a great platform upon which to unveil his jaw-dropping selection of high-flying manoeuvres. He seems equally deserving of an Intercontinental Championship reign - perhaps even more so, if one crucial factor is taken into account. It's hard to imagine Sami Zayn as anything other than a complete babyface. He is one of those wrestlers in the Ricky Steamboat mould - completely impossible to root against. Despite his small stature, Neville could easily pass as a heel. He has an unusually dark look, with his long black hair and purple attire, and flirted with a heel turn in NXT when desperately attempting to defend his championship against all-comers. A turn as an arrogant Intercontinental champ believing himself above all the other rookies would be an interesting angle, one capable of propelling more than one upcoming star into the limelight.
