Realistically who on the current roster would be a LEGIT WWE champion

[Playaz Eyez]

jeff hardy was the most over nikka on the entire roster before he left and vince was mad when he left.

nikka had two strikes and they still put the belt on him. jeff could've come back anytime he wanted.

You confuse not wanting to chine back with not being able to come back. and he was way bigger than jeff and rey.

I meant RVD/Rey as in status with the fans as guys that you always want to cheer for and never boo. And again, if Jeff really could have come back any time he wanted, he would have.

Anyone can mimick Finn. Let's be real Shane McMahon is a better wrestler. Elbow drop across the ring apron >>> chest stomp?

You mean Matt Hardyz`s resurgence.

Jeff been popular for years now. He was the one bringing in more merchandise than anyone on that TNA roster & he was the one main eventing & drawing huge prior to leaving the wwe.


Matt hardy is the one who people laughed at & clowned for years until he made up a successful gimmick that rejuvenated his career.

Jeff didn't need matt period. If anything it was the other way around. That's how he got back in the company in the first place

Jeff hadn't done shyt in TNA since coming back from that match with Sting, and didn't wrestle for like a year with a broken leg. He'd never have been back in WWE if it weren't for the broken universe

Dude was headlining ppvs over at TNA.

Some of y'all clearly don't know what you're even talking about.

Given TNA has 1-2 ppvs per year, you're obviously talking years ago.

A legit WWE champion? If everything was real? How's 5'8 AJ Styles possibly being mentioned then? Brock would be champ and Big Show, Kane & Mark henry would all be top contenders even in their 40s. Wrestling is fake for a reason.

Ask a casual which one of these guys is a former World champion

Billy never got the pop Balor got at post Mania Raw even during the ATTITUDE ERA. Now you know you're trash as fukk.

I been thinking this but this post says it all



Make no mistake The Miz is a tremendous heel and a great intercontinental champion but I'm not quite sure if there's one WWE Champion he is in the title hunt. Bray and Ambrose would have never sniffed the title.

My list of current guys

Braun Stroman
Brock Lesnar
Roman Reigns
AJ Styles
John Cena
Maharajah

My rule of thumb for this back in the first brand split era was could you buy them winning cleanly as as face? I noticed early on that in the brand split that if Vince wanted someone to not look like a paper champ, he'd leave no doubt.

In the cases or Miz and Ambrose, they've both never won the belt without any shenanigans and Bray couldn't even keep the belt in his first singles defense so we know they have no shot at the belt without a brand split.

I agree with your list right now except I'd probably replace Mahal with Jeff.

Off topic but they could've avoid the RAW hijackings if they kept the second world title around and just gave it to Bryan to shut the smarks up.

and he did.

Yes, nearly 10 years later, BECAUSE of Matt. Both Hardyz were basically dead in the water on Impact, Matt left and gradually started his Big Money Matt stuff in the indies, came back to Impact doing the same thing, gradually started the Broken Matt stuff (while Jeff was still being dated Jeff Hardy), then they both became the Broken Hardyz. The Hardyz wouldn't be back in the WWE if it weren't for Matt. It ain't that hard to realize.

What the Titus or Big E. the coli tells me they belong in the main event.

Vince McMahon is looking to push Jeff Hardy into a main event singles run as soon as possible by making him feud with Finn Balor and current WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar.

So back because of matt but jeff is the one vince wants to push?

Na, but I'm sitting here wondering why don't I just become a professional wrestler since I'm bigger, more physically fit and more athletic than him.
