#1 The Miz

This should be a classic

The WWE fans who are enjoying the ongoing rivalry between Daniel Bryan and the Miz have also acknowledged the possibility of seeing them collide at the Show of Shows for the WWE Championship.

With Daniel Bryan working as an underdog face, the A-Lister must strike when the iron's hot and reclaim his spot on the top of SmackDown Live.

The Phenomenal One could work well with the Miz, and since this bout could very well position the Awesome One as a legitimate main-event threat, a possibility of defeating Styles would garner more negative reaction from the crowd.

The creative team could capitalize on Miz's potential as a heel, and book him against the WWE Champion, in order to gravitate some tremendous attention to the most coveted prize in WWE history.

#2 Andrade 'Cien' Almas

The Mexican Sensation has already proved his worth against the Phenomenal One

This is a feud that the WWE fans are very interested about. Seeing these two performers battling it out in the middle of the ring for the most prestigious title in the company would be magic.

Both the Superstars have already delivered a technical classic on SmackDown Live, and with the WWE Championship on the line, the stakes could get more higher.

Since the creative team on the blue brand is trying their best foot forward to book significant rivalries, this could very well position Andrade 'Cien' Almas as the next big star on the blue brand.

The Mexican Sensation was a main-event attraction in NXT and deserves a world championship opportunity on the blue brand.

Whether he wins it or not, colliding against the "Phenomenal One" for the WWE Championship would be a winner for the audience watching.

#3 Daniel Bryan

The Underdog deserves to reclaim his spot to the top

In what could be sealed as a future WrestleMania showdown, booking Daniel Bryan Vs. A.J. Styles for the WWE Championship is every bit of magic you wish to witness on the WWE Network.

Since the blue brand is lacking credible faces, booking the Phenomenal One as a heel for this one would make all the sense in the world.

Daniel Bryan works incredible as a underdog and considering that both the performers have had independent beginnings, this could also go way personal.

While the fans would want to see the Beard defeat the A-Lister for the gold, pitting him against a heel A.J. Styles and the Club behind him would make for interesting television.

#4 Jeff Hardy as 'Brother Nero'

This could get interesting

A lot of the fans are genuinely excited about how things have been transpiring between Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy as they look set to battle at Hell in a Cell.

While the feud would be legendary, erasing the enigma could certainly coerce Jeff Hardy to divert his attention towards a more darker space inside his head.

Introducing Brother Nero in a main-event program against the Phenomenal One could literally take SmackDown Live by storm, and make the blue brand more interesting.

These two superstars are versatile in-ring performers and would definitely work well together if provided with some legitimate storyline.

Jeff Hardy deserves the main-event spotlight and with his impressive characterization, the Charismatic Enigma could finally delete the Phenomenal One and capture the biggest prize in wrestling.

#5 Randy Orton

A heel Randy Orton deserves to have the gold

In what could probably be one of the most fantastic characters on television, Randy Orton's heel run deserves more than just a mid-card slot.

The Apex Predator had been stagnant in the entire 2017 and his WWE Championship feud against Jinder Mahal diminished his entire credibility as a babyface champion.

Since the Viper has changed his mannerisms, this could be the start of something sensational on the blue brand, with A.J. Styles as the next victim.

Considering that the creative team has never booked a feud between these two performers, clashing against each other for the WWE Championship would bring more edgy television to the main-event spot.

While Samoa Joe has worked well as a heel, Orton could also follow a similar spot and make his rivalry with A.J. Styles into a personal and more violent one.
