The WWE has received criticism for not pushing their mid card talent to main event status lately. Everyone who watches wrestling has seen the same few guys be cycled through the main event scene for a long time now.
Guys like Batista, John Cena, HHH, Randy Orton, and The Undertaker have been taking the World Title slots for a few years. Occasionally we will see a sprinkling of guys like Jericho and CM Punk.
The real question here is who will take the torch from these guys in the next few years? Batista, HHH, and the Undertaker don't have a long time left in the ring full time and guys need to start stepping up.
Shelton Benjamin has been a name that has been talked about in the world title picture for awhile now. He has never gotten his shot but many people feel he deserves one soon.
His in-ring ability is undeniable and his recent face turn seems to be working well for him. He will most likely hold the ECW title sometime in the near future and hopefully the WWE uses that to groom him for a World Title run.
John Morrison has also been mentioned among fans as being a future contender. His past in gymnastics makes him able to do high flying moves that no one else can pull off. He has the look and the style to be a top face of the WWE.
His mic skills are still a little iffy but his recent in ring performances more than make up for anything he's ever done that looked bad.
Jack Swagger has a bright future. In the short time he has been in the WWE he has made a big impact.
HHH pointed to him recently as being a big part of WWE's future and an endorsement from the Game in the WWE goes a long way. His size and background in amateur wrestling make him primed to be WWE's next big thing.
Evan Bourne is someone I see as being the next Mysterio. He has many different exciting high flying moves and a great work ethic.
Many people may not think he has it in him to be the top guy, but I disagree, I think that with HHH saying he is one of the next top guys that he will see a better push soon.
Other people who may have it in them to take the reigns of the WWE are The Miz, Christian, Sheamus, Matt Hardy, and The Hart Dynasty.
