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

#5 Who could be - Ali

One of the greatest things about being a member of the WWE Universe is that you get to experience different characters from different backgrounds telling stories inside a 20 x 20 ring.

One such character is Mustafa Ali. The former 205 Live Superstar has already made his impression behind the scenes and could be in line for a huge push after the summer.

One cannot deny that he was already destined to clash with The New Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship until he suffered an unfortunate injury.

With Ali now determined to rewrite his own story, there's a legitimate possibility that the WWE Universe could see him headline events as our WWE Champion.

#6 Who may never be - Robert Roode

Will The Glorious One realize his ultimate dream?

Despite making a name for himself under several esteemed promotions, it's disappointing to see Robert Roode being demoted to such a level on the main roster.

The man is usually seen trying his best to capture the 24/7 Championship and whilst the title has been receiving critical acclaim from the viewers, Roode certainly deserves better.

His re-introduction as Robert Roode did elevate our hopes of seeing him grab the brass ring under Vince McMahon, but the former NXT Champion got lost under the shuffle and our hopes of seeing him as the WWE Champion may never see the light of the day.
