Damien Sandow
For the past several months Sandow has impressed with his wrestling ability and charisma. Usually Id say how a wrestler who only debuted three months ago shouldnt win this early into his career but as the contract doesnt have to be cashed in for a year it might be an interesting move. He would definitely be a surprise victor and a year would provide him with necessary time to develop and grow as a character and as a wrestler, making him a suitable challenger for the championship at the same time. The obvious disadvantage is that that same philosophy has been used before with Alberto Del Rios Royal Rumble win. He seemed to be a good all-rounder at the time but his support has slowly dwindled since. Give the push to Sandow and there is the chance that the crowd may grow bored of his intellectual persona before he cashes in the MITB.
