8. Wade Barrett
Barrett seems to be having some sort of a push at the moment. He's in the middle of a little mini-feud with Daniel Bryan and it's not inconceivable that this will transition to him having an actual role as an enforcer in the new McMahon regime that is in Bryan's way. Should this be the case I think we can expect a lot more from Wade Barrett over the next couple of months as the WWE find ways to make him look tough and brutal. The WWE obviously thinks that Barrett has some prospects as a main eventer- after all, he did lead the Nexus in their storyline before he was turfed out by CM Punk (which begun his spiral into midcard purgatory) and he has had experience in big matches before. He's good on the mic and in the ring and as a ex-bare knuckle boxer it would be interesting seeing how he faces up against the 'best pure striker in the history of the WWE.' Hell, it could even add an extra layer to the feud. It must also be noted that Barrett was rumoured to be facing the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 27 before his injury left him out of the event. So is he a viable option? At Wrestlemania 27 I recognise the temptation but at Wrestlemania 30? The match may be just too big for someone of his (admittedly growing) stature.
