12 Current WWE Stars Who Will Win A World Title Within 5 Years
9. Bobby Roode
NXT's current champ is yet another case of a long-term TNA loyalist who absolutely shouldn't have been; Bobby Roode was undoubtedly a top guy there, but for a character nicknamed "The It Factor", he never really seemed to show it. WWE's solution? Sit him down, make him watch 200 hours of Tully Blanchard matches, slap an earworm of a theme on him, and spare no expense on big-match entrance pageantry.
That newly-acquired big-match aura is part of why Bobby will definitely find a World title wrapped around his waist. The NXT version of Bobby Roode has the unique ability to make his matches feel more like main events than they otherwise might, and WWE's not going to waste that superpower on Dean Ambrose midcard feuds.
Bobby Roode's going to make it to the top of the mountain again, and it's going to be...glorious.
Time Until Championship: 3-4 years.
