RAW: Predicting The Next 5 WWE Champions After Brock Lesnar
Just when fans thought they'd seen the last of Brock Lesnar as a champion, 'The Beast Incarnate' shocked the world by winning the WWE Championship in 10 seconds on SmackDown's FOX premiere.
Cain Velasquez tried, but couldn't dethrone 'The Beast,' as he tapped out to the champion at Crown Jewel. Rey Mysterio will challenge Lesnar for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series in a No Holds Barred match, but it's doubtful the masked Superstar will walk away with the title.
WWE wouldn't take the title away from 'The Beast Incarnate' until the most opportune time. Nor would they take the title off 'The Beast' unless they found the appropriate Superstar to do so.
As we near the end of 2019, the new year brings new possibilities, and since anything can happen in WWE, speculation is already high. Which Superstars are destined to wear the coveted WWE Championship around their waist?
Here are predictions for the next five superstars to win the WWE Championship.

#5 John Cena
Many may have chosen Cain Velasquez to get his hands on Lesnar and the WWE Championship before anyone else, but numerous reports of his knee injury being worse than expected put the former UFC Champion's status up in the air.
We can't expect Rey Mysterio to win the WWE Championship, especially in a No Holds Barred match that favors the unscrupulous Lesnar. Another feud with Seth Rollins might not go over well with WWE's fan base and that leaves John Cena as a realistic option to dethrone Brock Lesnar.
Randy Orton issued a WrestleMania challenge to John Cena via Twitter, and Cena responded to the challenge by saying that he's eager to get back in the ring. Cena also recently confirmed that he plans on being at WrestleMania 36. We can't take these tweets for granted and WWE just might go ahead with this match for WrestleMania 36.
Cena needs one more reign with the WWE Championship to break Ric Flair's record of 16 world title reigns. Having him beat Lesnar at the Royal Rumble or some other event on the Road to WrestleMania and defend the WWE Championship against Orton at the Showcase of the Immortals would be a fantastic choice.
