10. EVIL

The 'King Of Darkness' surpassed SANADA as Los Ingobernables de Japon's hottest prospect in 2017, but has spent most of his time since losing to Kazuchika Okada last October locked in a tag team with his stablemate.

The duo lost their IWGP Heavyweight Tag Titles to The Young Bucks at Dominion 6.9. EVIL could conceivably return to a singles title hunt next, particularly as he's in the same block as IWGP United States Champion Jay White, but a major push is most likely still a year or two away.

An outside bet to reach the finals, but victory is a longshot.
