The point of Sheamus being the next most likely WWE Champion is valid only if WWE has already made up their minds on taking the title off Drew McIntyre.

If so, the only person who can viably walk out of the chamber as the new WWE Champion is Sheamus. Randy Orton is embroiled in a feud with The Fiend and Alexa Bliss that will possibly continue at least until WrestleMania 37.

On the other hand, as great as AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy are, one can't possibly imagine them walking out as the WWE Champion due to their lack of direction on Monday Night RAW. As for The Miz, though he holds the MITB contract, he's not someone who should be anywhere close to the WWE Championship picture at the moment due to his current positioning on the card.

Sheamus is also involved in a deeply personal rivalry with McIntyre right now, so it makes sense for him to win the title and then defend it against The Scottish Warrio at WrestleMania 37.
