Obviously, the winner will not challenge Roman Reigns, so whoever wins will be cashing in on Seth Rollins.

 Shinsuke Nakamura had a great match against Rollins at Survivor Series in 2018, but I don’t see Nakamura getting another title chance after his underwhelming matches against AJ Styles.

Ricochet is cannon fodder, and that’s it. A massive waste of a roster spot at this point. He was rushed to the main roster and, since then, has done very little to jot down.

BUTCH is in Limbo at this point. Teaming with the Brawling Brutes looks good on paper, but he was much better as the Bruiserweight. I see a fun feud coming out of this against Santos Escobar and his team, but nothing groundbreaking.

Santos Escobar’s time will come, but not now. He’s too deep in his faction and isn’t getting enough screen time to warrant being the face of the company. I’d like to see a Heel Escobar holding the title one day, hopefully turning on Rey Mysterio to start that Heel turn.

LA Knight is the obvious choice. I’m thrilled to see his career not flushed down the toilet by bad creative. By that, I mean his lack lustered NXT run and his squash match with Bray Wyatt. Knight has everything you want in a champion, but I don’t see it happening now.

Damian Priest has been reportedly impressing a lot of higher-ups. I’m glad Priest has made many strides since his run as Punishment Martinez. I see Priest winning but not capturing the title. A Priest and Finn Balor have been teased for the past few weeks. Judgment Day is a fun faction to watch, and I don’t want it to end so soon, but this will put Priest on his own and capture singles titles.

What do you think?
