Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

With some of the older established main eventers' stepping out of the limelight and receiving far less grueling schedules than they used to in the past, the WWE is currently in the process of choosing a number of their new talents for the future, and promoting them to replace those said older guys in the main event scene. It's a step in the right direction as the WWE currently has a roster full of exceptional talents, and future stars in the making.

This includes guys like Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Aj Styles, Daniel Bryan, etc among others have been the focal point of the show in the recent times.

Some of the guys in the Raw, and SmackDown Live locker rooms deserve a shot at the top of the card, whereas some of the others have no business being anywhere near the top.

Stay tuned, as this list divulges five current WWE wrestlers who are deserving of the main event push and four who aren't.

#5 Deserving- A Member of the New day

The New day has been in the tag team title picture ever since the formation of the team and has been one of the best in the recent memory. Their ability to connect with the WWE Universe is brilliant, and their mic skills are one among the best.

But they didn't have any singles push for a major title till now, and they certainly deserve more especially Kofi Kingston, who has been in the WWE for more than a decade now and has been a workhorse for the company ever since.

Big E too, is a talented wrestler, and he is still young and destined for great things ahead. He has been rumored for a singles push for some time now but has not materialized yet.

#4 Not deserving - Baron Corbin

The lone wolf needs time to establish himself.

Baron Corbin was fast escalated into the main event scene when he won the Money in the Bank match just months after he joined the main roster.

But he failed to connect with the fans, his heelish antics has been good, but his promos are not the best.

Corbin quickly came down the ranks just as he rose up. He is still young, and can still climb up the ladder, but this is not the right time to trigger a push for Corbin.

He is currently is the acting general manager for Monday Night Raw, and is embroiled in an interesting feud with the legend, and WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle over the leadership of the show.

Hopefully, this sets up his career in the right track, and then he could be a star for the future. He was viewed as a sure shot WWE championship material from the very beginning, and he could very well be if properly booked.

#4 Deserving- Rusev

Rusev is one of the most over stars in the WWE at the moment. He recently had a full-fledged babyface turn when Aiden English betrayed him. Till then was somewhat a tweener with the crowd cheering him at all the shows.

Rusev is one of the most talented big guys to come the WWE's way in history. He is agile, huge, strong, extremely talented and most of all, he is a believable monster, and he has proven this on multiple occasions.

He had an unbeaten record in the WWE till his first loss to John Cena and his career didn't take off as expected. He is still floundering in the mid-card currently in a feud with Aiden English who was the reason behind Rusev's connection with the fans.

Rusev did get an opportunity to face AJ Styles for the WWE title, but there was no big storyline behind the angle and was a one-time affair.

#3 Not deserving - Sheamus

Like Rusev, Sheamus too became one of the sought out stars quickly after his debut in the Raw Roster.

He won almost everything from Royal Rumble to the Money in the Bank briefcase. He had a decent run as a World Champion on multiple occasions but not a great one by any means.

He is currently the one half of the Smackdown Tag Team Champion with Cesaro as part of the Bar in their fifth reign together and is one of the best in the business.

While Cesaro deserves a bit more than what he being treated too, Sheamus has already been there and done it.

Sheamus presence in the main event scene will have nothing new to offer, and with the recent injuries, and emergence of newer stars, he is the best bet at the mid-card level possibly winning the Intercontinental title which has eluded him in his career.

#3 Deserving- Cesaro

WWE should bring back the Cesaro section

Cesaro is one of the best technical wrestlers in the World and is pound for pound one of the strongest grapplers in the WWE. He is one of the most over superstars till he turned heel as the part the Bar in the mid-2017.

He along with Sheamus held the Raw and Smackdown Tag team championships for a record five times now and have been one of the successful ones in recent memory.

But a great singles run for the major championship has always eluded Cesaro in career so far, and is a shame that he is not even getting an opportunity that he so richly deserves.

He is still fit as a wrestler despite his troubled shoulder and is not old as per wrestling standards. So, WWE can trigger a push for him if they are to break the Bar and embark on a great journey for Cesaro.

#2 Not Deserving- Randy Orton

The viper should bring back his legend killer persona

Randy Orton is the youngest two time World champion in the company's history and will always have a great place in the WWE in the time to come. He along with Cena were the flagbearers for the company in the past decade.

He has been largely successful as a vicious heel and as a babyface, he was good but not as convincing as when he is in the darker side.

Even his recent feud with a fellow great Jeff Hardy was great because it projected Randy as a villain who brought back his old mannerisms which made him a star that he is now.

Orton is still only 38 but already past his prime to be a world champion. He can put over various superstars like Jericho used to do. He can elevate the mid-card and tag team titles.

#2 Deserving- Finn Balor

Finn Balor has been one of the most unfortunate superstars on the roster.

He made history by becoming a World Champion just weeks after coming to Raw from NXT, but the reign lasted just a day due to the shoulder injury he sustained for which he needed surgery and this kept him out of action for some time which halted his momentum.

He never really got back into the main event that he deserved and didn't even get a rematch for the Universal Title that he never really lost until recently.

He struggled to be in the mix with scene largely revolved around Brock Lesnar, Strowman, and Roman Reigns in that period after his comeback.

Balor deserves much more than what he is getting and badly needs to move to Smackdown Live to shine at the top as he is constantly overshadowed by the likes of The Shield and others.

#1 Not Deserving- John Cena

As mentioned earlier in the slide, John Cena along with Randy Orton was the torchbearers of the WWE in the past decade or so.

They have 29 world championships together. They have already a Hall of Fame careers and don't need another run for the same.

WWE may be tempted to give Cena a chance to surpass Ric Flair's record of 16 world titles, which is the exact same number of times that the former has won till now in his storied career.

So, we can expect him to win a title in the coming future. But it shouldn't happen now as he is now more of a part-timer and doesn't feature in the show frequently.

It would be not fair on the others if he gets an opportunity ahead of them for a shot to main event the shows.

#1 Deserving- Dean Ambrose

The lunatic fringe is hinting at a major shift of character

Dean Ambrose has been at the center point of the Shield ever since he made his return. He is rumored to make a huge heel turn at the expense of his brothers from the Hounds of justice.

This could be the making of the Dean Ambrose's career in the long run if it is managed properly.

Among the Shield members, Ambrose has been always underrated but was one of the reasons for the early part of the success of the Smackdown Live along with AJ Styles.

But he did not get the credit that he deserved and was always a second fiddle to Reigns and Rollins which has been the storyline that is currently with the trio.

Dean Ambrose is one for the future for future along with his shield teammates and many others in the rosters and the time is perfect for him to shine again at the top level.
