Winning the World Championship is the highest achievement any WWE Superstar can achieve. For the non-wrestling fans, it’s just a cool looking gold belt. However, in the field of sports entertainment, it demonstrates an incomparable level of prestige.
Last year, Roman Reigns held both world titles hostage. Fortunately, Triple H delivered the World Heavyweight Championship in April, which was won by Seth “Freakin” Rollins.
With two active top belts in the main roster, the field of potential champions has expanded exponentially. Let’s take a look at five WWE Superstars who could win the World Championship this year.
#5 Damien Priest is Mr. Money in the Bank
In what has been called a major upset, Damien Priest unpacked the prestigious Money in the Bank briefcase last Saturday. Today, The Punisher of The Judgment is closer than ever to the World Series.
His goal seems crystal clear. Priest comes after Seth “Freakin” Rollins, who has had beef with The Judges Day for a while. Rollins may have defeated Finn Balor at MITB, but the new contract holder presents a different challenge.
It may only be a matter of time before the priest climbs to the top. He’s waiting for the right time and he might just become World Champion at SummerSlam.
#4 Finn Balor may also win a world championship
From one Doomsday member to the next, Finn Balor has already had a fair shot at Rollins’ World Heavyweight Title, but Balor hasn’t given up on his pursuit just yet.
In fact, on the MITB Fallout episode of RAW, Prince inadvertently spared Priest money when he intervened in assaulting Rollins. Balor’s actions may have laid the groundwork for a full-blown implosion of Doomsday.
Just like Triple H and Evolution turned on Randy Orton in 2004, Balor and Judgment Day can turn their backs on Priest when he wins the world heavyweight title. Prince’s path to the world title becomes clear if that happens.
#2 MAIN EVENT Jey Uso could end Roman Reigns’ historic world championship streak
At MITB, The Usos pulled off a minor miracle when they defeated the unbeatable duo of Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. What was even more surprising was that Jey Uso pinned Reigns in the middle of the ring as the crowd roared.
The story is complete. The right-hand man was the first to pin The Juggernaut of The Shield in 2013. A decade later, Main-Event Jey Uso put his cousin on the three counts, ending The Tribal Chief’s nearly 1,300-day streak.
From a story perspective, pinning Uso Reigns to win the WWE Undisputed World Championship makes perfect sense. Therefore, the Chieftain’s dominance could collapse, most likely at SummerSlam, courtesy of Jey Uso.
#1 Solo Sikoa can betray Roman Reigns and get the Unified World Championship
It was a year of betrayal for the chief, who might have to endure another grief. Solo Sikoa has stuck with Roman Reigns through thick and thin, but he may follow his bros pretty soon, especially after the shocking loss in MITB.
With all due respect to Jey Uso, Sikoa seems to be a more interesting prospect for higher officials. In the corner of the bloodline’s implosion, the enforcer was the wild card. The former NXT North American Champion may be the modern version of the late Umaga – a tough, ruthless warrior with a mean streak.
Thus, when he turns against Reigns, he is more likely than any other member of the bloodline to dethrone The Head of The Table.
