#3 Finn Balor

The Finn Balor/Brock Lesnar saga is something that's actually been ongoing for a while now, dating back to when rumours online suggested that Vince McMahon believed Finn Balor wasn't 'over' enough to have a world title match against Lesnar. The Demon, of course, took exception to that and wound up having merch created off the back of it.
But, unfortunately, that still doesn't mean that we think he's ready to be the one who finally ends Brock Lesnar's championship reign. Finn's rise to the top has been a gradual one and if they want to avoid ruining him, then they'll need to ensure that they don't push him into a spot that his current position in the company doesn't warrant.
