WWE’s World Heavyweight Championship has changed twice so far in the year 2024. In WrestleMania 40 Night 2, WWE Superstar Seth Rollins defended his title against Drew McIntyre. McIntyre defeated Rollins to retain the title. Drew could not hold this title for long because Damian Priest cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase on him. Now he is the company’s new World Heavyweight Champion. Priest will now defend his title against Jay Uso after some time. Rollins was champion for 316 days. Priest’s title run has just begun.
There is still a long time left for the year 2024 to end. This means that fans may get to see a new World Heavyweight Champion in the coming few months. In this article, we will take a look at those 3 WWE Superstars who can surprise everyone and win the World Heavyweight Championship in the year 2024.
3. WWE legend CM Punk
Everyone knows how much fame CM Punk has earned in the wrestling world. According to the plan, Seth Rollins was going to defend his title against CM Punk at WrestleMania XL but Punk got injured during the men’s Royal Rumble 2024 match. Because of this the company had to change the plan. Punk is injured at this time. Now if Punk gets fit and returns to the ring, then it will be a shocking moment to see him win the World Heavyweight Championship. However, his star power suggests that it will not be a big deal for him to win the world title.
2. Former WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor
Finn Balor also deserves to become World Heavyweight Champion. If he becomes champion in the coming few months, then it will also be shocking for the fans. It has been eight years since Finn Balor has been Universal Champion. From then till now his career has not been very special in the main roster. He was also Universal Champion for only one day. Balor and Damian Priest have done a good job so far on Judgment Day. Both also won the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. What if Balor betrays Priest in the future? There may be a rift between the two due to the World Heavyweight Championship, due to which we may see a further fight between the two. It has long been said that Damien will be leaving Judgment Day very soon. Due to Balor’s deception, Priest can come out of the group and work as a face. After this, Balor and his rivalry can be seen. From here Finn can become the new champion.
1. WWE Superstar Jey Uso
In the latest episode of Raw, the number one contenders match for the World Heavyweight Championship took place. Drew McIntyre, Jay Uso, Bronson Reed and Ricochet took part in this match. Jay Uso won this match in the end. Now he will have a chance to become World Heavyweight Champion. It would be a shocking moment for Priest to lose to Jey Uso early in his title run. You all know that anything can happen in WWE. Last year, Jay Uso impressed everyone by defeating Roman Reigns in a one-on-one match. Only after this he got the nickname ‘Main Event’. Even in WrestleMania 40, Jay had achieved a big victory over Jimmy Uso. The upcoming match between Damian and Jey Uso may see interference from Drew McIntyre, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sequoia. One thing is certain that Jay can surprise everyone by becoming the World Heavyweight Champion any time this year.
