8. Big E
Big E has been a solid baby face Intercontinental champion. He's big (so he can believably knock off all comers), he's strong (so can pull off the sorts of power moves that leave the crowd gawping), and he's got charisma, something of which is an intangible, hard-to-come-by facet in the company. At WrestleMania, he should in theory defend his title against someone. Web rumours are stating that Big E could be pencilled in to face off against Dean Ambrose to unify the US and IC titles. If this were the case, then he wouldn't need to turn heel, due to Ambrose's transcendently evil personality. But on the other hand, if the direction of the company is going to be sparked from a dynamic already in its infancy that between Big E and Cesaro Cesaro could turn face (which looks as though it's on the cards) and Big E would naturally fall into the position of a heel. But all of this would determine that he faces off against another current or turning babyface for the title. How could it happen? Big E's heel turn could pretty easily be the most understated on the entire card. If he were to face Cesaro and it were to happen, it'd essentially come as fallout from a turn that's much more important than his. Perhaps Big E will become agitated in regards to the overwhelmingly positive crowd reaction towards Cesaro. Perhaps he would attack Cesaro after the match for winning the title from him. Maybe just maybe he'd even resort to underhanded tactics to keep the belt. Whichever way it'd go, it may not be that entertaining, but it would certainly be necessary.
