8. Cesaro

Cesaro is the longest-tenured WWE superstar on this list, and he's also the longest-overdue for a World title victory. He's been the constant victim of start-and-stop pushes and front-office indecision, but through it all he's remained monstrously over thanks to his absolutely uncanny physical ability. Simply put, as long as you keep putting him in the ring, Cesaro's going to excel.

Although countless moments have felt like Cesaro's undeniable ascent - his classics with Cena, his surprise return on Raw, and especially his WrestleMania XXX battle royal victory - it simply hasn't happened yet. But now, WWE has two World titles, and it's harder and harder to justify taking a risk on a relatively unproven headliner like the Swiss Superman.

But Cesaro will get there. He's Dean Malenko in Lex Luger's body and a real-life James Bond. There simply cannot be a world in which Jack Swagger was a World champion and Cesaro never was.

Time Until Championship: 3-4 years.
