5 best candidates to win the WWE World Cup

#2 Andrade "Cien" Almas (Mexico)

Having already made an impression on SmackDown Live and reportedly with Vince McMahon behind him, Andrade "Cien" Almas checks all the boxes for an ideal WWE World Cup winner. While Almas has had fantastic matches on SmackDown, he still needs that signature big victory to take his career to the next level, and this would be it.

Unless the company has lost its mind, Almas should be a big part of WrestleMania season, and a victory here would be an ideal launching pad. If Almas wins in Saudi Arabia, and then becomes a sole survivor at Survivor Series less than three weeks later, big things would certainly be in store for him.
