10. Rob Gronkowski

On Saturday afternoon, your writer fantasy-booked Rob Gronkowski somehow leaving WrestleMania 36 as either Universal or WWE Champion, setting the internet ablaze and igniting another feeble #CancelWWENetwork movement. The tone was only semi-serious, though WWE strapping a man of Gronk's celebrity isn't a complete stretch.

Things didn't pan out that way. Rather than leaving with a World Title, the human fidget spinner scored WWE's gimmick belt, the 24/7 Championship, after diving from a balcony and pinning Mojo Rawley. A far better spot for him at the moment, unquestionably.

24/7 Title or no 24/7 Title, Gronkowski will become an increasingly big part of WWE programming, leading towards the first of the "big crazy matches" he sought before officially signing. Vince McMahon has him now. He's a popular, known figure with a huge personality, immense athletic pedigree, and marketability. You'd best believe the Chairman is sending him skywards.

Get used to more Mojo on weekly television as well; the former Hype Bro won the lottery when his best friend arrived in WWE.
