8. Dean Ambrose
This one makes a lot of sense as Taker's last match was on Smackdown in April this year against the voice of 'justice'. Word backstage was that Callaway was really impressed with The Shield and wanted to give them a big moment. Ambrose, with a little help from his friends, almost got the pin but Taker took him out with the Hell's Gate. Ambrose is a great villain and could really put on a great match next year. He is wily and sneaky as a snake and it would bring a very different dynamic to the cocky heel of Punk, the strong brick-wall in HHH and the redemptive battles with Michaels. Here is a man who will do anything to win and if he can sneak a victory, he'll do it. That constant threat would make it a great match from the first bell to the last.
