9. Erick Rowan

The cage angle is odd. With the way WWE has booked it, Rowan is going to have to unveil some kind of weird, mouldy rat, given that the damn thing is now biting anyone who reaches inside. Nonetheless, it has created a level of intrigue your writer didn't see coming when Erick started with the goo-goo-a-boo-boo nonsense.

We know Vince McMahon loves himself some beef and baby, Rowan's got some serious beef on his frame. We also know that the Chairman reportedly wants to push him in 2020. He's got a shot. It's not much of a shot, but it's still a shot.

Chances: Slim/moderate.
