Predicting Next 10 WWE Champions (World And Universal)

1. Samoa Joe

AJ Styles will defeat Cesaro in a TLC rematch at the end of 2017, meaning that he's defeated most of the brand's top stars on multiple occasions. That will mean that his next challenger won't be John Cena or Dean Ambrose, but a brand-new contender.

Samoa Joe, who will come up from NXT just after WrestleMania 33, will get the nod. Though he starts off as a heel, defeating Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship, he will eventually turn into one of the most popular babyfaces on the roster. Still undefeated and still the IC Champion, Joe will set his sights on the WWE World Championship, winning the Royal Rumble to get his shot.

Styles and Joe have years of history across multiple promotions, and WWE will draw upon that history to promote a great WrestleMania match. Needless to say, the action will live up to the build-up, with both incredible athletes - despite being a bit long in the tooth - pulling off a classic. Joe will end up victorious and finally on top of WWE.
