If there is one guy who deserves a stint as the Universal Champion more than anyone else on this list, it has got to be Drew McIntyre. The man carried the entire WWE on his shoulder along with Seth Rollins in the absence of The Big Dog, Roman Reigns. However, he seems to be a bit lost in the mix off late.

Given WWE had been building him up for quite long, the speculations of McIntyre replacing Rollins as the next Universal Champion was making rounds all over the Internet ever since Rollins' win at WrestleMania 35. However, it was not meant to be. Nonetheless, all is not lost yet as WWE could have him involved in a feud win Lesnar after SummerSlam.

Furthermore, given WWE has always been a fan of good vs evil, babyface vs heel gimmick, a potential face turn for the Scottish Psychopath could be on the cards for the near future. Well, come what may, the former NXT Champion seems one of the strongest contenders to dethrone Lesnar as the next Universal Champ and WWE owes this one to him.
