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

9. Sami Zayn

This one might surprise some people because Sami Zayn is not even on the main roster yet; however, with 12 years of pro wrestling experience, there is no doubt that Zayn can be thrust into the spotlight immediately. He has had some match of the year contenders with his feud against Cesaro in both NXT and after Cesaro was on the main roster. He'll face Adrian Neville at the next NXT Takeover in December in what will be a dream one-on-one match. The thing with Sami Zayn currently in NXT is he is constantly reminded by all of his enemies AND friends that he cannot win the big one. He was on a losing streak, and now is on a "Road To Redemption"; which leads to the Neville match. Let's say Neville retains the belt in December, and it continues to haunt Zayn, until he makes the main roster. He then can immediately win the Intercontinental or United States Championship on his first night on Raw; which he can parlay into a surprise win at Money In The Bank. He could then cash it in where he finally wins the big one, the most prestigious prize of all of the WWE.
