For a long time, Vince McMahon’s favorite on-screen endeavor has been Theory. Since before WrestleMania, the United States Champion has been garnering more and more attention. Theory was even featured on the show of shows, competing against the wildly successful Pat McAfee. Many people have asked for Theory to have a big main event push. WWE feels he has the potential to be a major role in the future. Even a comparison to John Cena would be the highest compliment the organization could provide.

5. John Cena

John Cena

Since these last few weeks, the most discussed events that came up was the tweets between Theory and his childhood role model John Cena. The present United States Champion first posted a video of himself boasting before a fanboy dressed as John Cena gear during a live event. The former World Champion then turned to Twitter to suggest that Theory possesses more skill than he did, but that it is up to him to develop that capability into a legacy. Thus, John Cena can be a probable competitor against Theory.

4. Finn Balor

Now, Finn Balor is the man who has been defeated by Theory to grab the US title. Balor had won the United States championship on February 28, but his reign had only lasted 49 days. He was kept off the WrestleMania 38 card despite being a champion, and then he finally lost the title afterwards. So, there are high chances of giving a final shot to Finn Balor to continue this feud.

3. Pat McAfee

Pat outperforms him on the microphone, in terms of enthusiasm, and just plain outperforms him. Pat is defending his dignity, while Austin, like everyone else in WWE, is attempting to impress the elder. Fighting for the boss seldom endeared anybody to the WWE crowd, but it lacked bite this time. It would be surely exciting to see him again in the ring against Theory.

Being nicknamed as the ‘Prizefighter’ itself, Kevin Owens can be the perfect addition to the title defence against Theory. The segment which KO had against Stone Cold Steve Austin was extremely praiseworthy and it is time for him to get into the title picture.

1. Cody Rhodes

Who else can grab the No. 1 for this list other than Cody? The American Nightmare made an incredible return to this company again after a tremendous break of around six years. Rhodes definitely demands a title run now as his popularity has rose extremely after his return.
