4 dark horses who could be WWE Champions soon and 4 who may never be

#3 Who could be - Ricochet

The One and Only

Ricochet's athleticism combined with solid backing from Triple H as well as Paul Heyman makes him the perfect dark horse to become a World Champion on the main roster.

The Mad Scientist of Professional Wrestling already sees him as a pet project and with The One and Only delivering standout performances every single week, it's only a matter of time until he fights for the biggest prize in sports entertainment.

Even though he may not have the look Vince McMahon endorses, his incredible resume and versatility make him the ideal choice of tasting gold in the main event scene.

#4 Who may never be - Ruby Riott

Will she run riot when she returns?

Anyone who is a keen observer in professional wrestling will have to admit that Ruby Riott is one of the most overlooked performers in the entire industry, let alone WWE.

Despite debuting with The Riott Squad, the creative team failed to invest in her antagonism and build her as a legitimate threat to the protagonists in the women's division.

Though there are Superstars like Becky Lynch, who stunned the entire management with her ruthless aggression, the company may never book a Superstar like Ruby Riott to take over the women's division and main-event pay-per-views with gold around her waist.
