Which wrestler will rule 2018?
2017 is drawing to a close, and it has been one wild year for WWE. We've seen unexpected championship reigns, the elevation of new talent, and signs that older talent might not be done just yet.
With a pro wrestler--The Rock--being the undisputed champion of the box office these days, the niche of top wrestler in the world is worthy of great gravity. Who will take the crown? Here are ten heirs apparent to the throne.
#10 John Cena
John Cena has truly dominated the 2000s, just as Ric Flair dominated the 1970s and 1980s. Being the face of the WWE has put John Cena always in the world title picture. Being the flagship of the biggest promotion in the world comes with plenty of prestige.
Chances of ruling 2018:
We'd say not so good. Cena's new, married life and film schedule for Total Divas/Bellas will keep him distracted from wrestling. Of late, he's been mired in the mid-card and doesn't seem dissatisfied with this role. Cena is a veteran whose legacy is in no danger of depreciating, so we don't see him being the man to rule 2018.
