12. Muhammed King Mo Lawal
The six foot tall light heavyweight King Mo is 15-4-1, and ranked 4th in the world outside of the UFC. At 217 pounds, hes moved to heavyweight before and easily can again, which would benefit him in WWE. In fact, it already has: Lawal was offered a developmental contract with the company shortly after graduating college, but turned it down for a career in MMA. Lawals a lifelong pro wrestling fanboy whos had some sporadic work with TNA in the last couple of years, having been sure to sign a contract with Bellator that allowed him to work a professional wrestling career if he felt like it. Hes also a student of the business, not just a casual WWE fan hes spoken knowledgeably about Arn Anderson, and was seven years old when he practically begged God to let Sting defeat Ric Flair for the NWA world heavyweight championship at the inaugural Clash Of The Champions, back when WCW was Jim Crockett Promotions. Heavily muscled, intense when he needs to be: a decent talker with a great look, who loves the pro wrestling business as much as he does mixed martial arts, its very possible that King Mo could have what it takes to be the next black WWE world heavyweight champion unless the rumours are true, and theres genuinely a glass ceiling for people of colour in the biggest pro wrestling promotion in the world
