1. Braun Strowman
WWE would have to really screw up to not give this guy a title run in 2018. I mean, he deserved one in 2017! Strowman is an absolute monster and the audience loves him. He was the most improved and over act of 2017, and he is still growing in popularity.
While a loss to Lesnar at No Mercy did stop his momentum, it only slowed him down so much until he was viewed as an unstoppable monster once again. From threatening Heath Slater with “catch these hands” to practically committing a double homicide on Lesnar and Kane with a grappling hook, Strowman has already proven to have an eventful 2018.
He has a Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar and Kane at the Royal Rumble, but it’s unlikely that he will win it since the plan still seems to be Lesnar vs. Reigns over the Universal Championship at WrestleMania.
However, Strowman better stay in the world championship picture after WrestleMania. He could have an exciting renewal of his feud with Roman over the belt, or he could get sent over to SmackDown Live and absolutely demolish whoever the WWE Champion is at the time.
Either way, we NEED Braun Strowman to have a world title reign in 2018. The guy is head and shoulders above everyone else right now (besides maybe Styles and Reigns) when it comes to creating a crowd reaction. Plus, it would mean more and more violent destruction by the Monster Among Men.

2017 was the year Braun Strowman rose to the top, and 2018 will be the year where he will stay there with a world championship around his waste.
