5 WWE Superstars who could be champions in 2019, and 5 who could be fired

#5 Could be champion by the end of 2019: Andrade 'Cien' Almas

Andrade 'Cien Almas debuted in NXT, the first time he'd wrestled without a mask in his career. While he was given a nice video package, he wasn't pushed as hard as some of the other up and coming stars in that developmental promotion.

Almas found himself taking a back seat to Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor, and others as he mostly floundered in NXT despite his high degree of talent. He was missing a secret ingredient, something to get him over as either face or heel.

He found that something in Zelina Vega. Herself being a trained wrestler and former TNA Knockouts tag champion, Vega is one of the best mic workers in the business. She was able to not only provide Almas with a much-needed boost to his popularity, she also seems to have inspired him to work even harder. Almas was so impressive he wound up getting the called up to SmackDown much earlier than anyone anticipated.

Why he might be champion by the end of 2019: Almas and Vega are a great package, calling to mind Miss Elizabeth and Randy Savage. Almas brings the sizzle, whereas Vega brings the steak in the form of great mike skills. Together they could go all the way to the top.
