11 Wrestlers Who Are The Dark Horse To Become WWE Champion In 2015

10. Bad News Barrett

If you have forgotten about Bad News Barrett, then I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS! This past Summer, Barrett suffered a shoulder separation after being thrown into the outside barrier by Jack Swagger. Word is that he will possibly return from that injury sometime in December, and much like the return of Ryback, the WWE Universe will give him a warm reception. Barrett was a heel, but came into his own as Bad News Barrett so well that the crowd was cheering him. The pedigree of Wade Barrett was top notch from the beginning after winning the first season of NXT and leading the Nexus. Due to winning NXT, he was guaranteed a title shot for the WWE Championship, and later on down the road he qualified for the WWE World Championship match inside the Elimination Chamber. Though he came up short both times, he is worthy of a main event push again. He's great on the mic and his Bad News gimmick is over with the crowd. His personality can be great as a heel or a face.
