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

8. Sheamus

The Celtic Warrior is no stranger from the main event scene. He busted through the main roster straight to the top after just a few months from being called up. He started off in ECW with a few good feuds and squashes before winning a Breakthrough Battle Royal for those who have never been champion. Sheamus would take that win to grab the WWE Championship from John Cena late in 2009. Overall he has held three world titles, with the last run being in 2012 with the WWE World Championship. It has been heavily speculated for a long time that Sheamus is due for a heel run once again. While he's a great face, and a good ambassador for the Be A Star campaign, his best work to be on the top of the heap has been as a dominant heel. At this point in the WWE, being a face is going to be tough to get to the top with Cena, Orton, Reigns, Ambrose, and others in that spot. A heel turn and a good story would really give Sheamus some steam to once again be a world champion.
