6) Neville

WWE Cruiserweight Championship

2016 was a disappointing year for Neville for the most part after getting injured and not being featured for much of the year on WWE programming.

The end of 2016 brought a ton of optimism for fans of Neville as he turned heel and joined the WWE Cruiserweight Division.

This was a great idea by WWE because it allows a marquee name in the division to give it an added boost.

I think it is a no-brainer that Neville will become Cruiserweight champion sometime in 2017. This might be the one on the list that happens the earliest and could happen before January has even ended.

Neville proved that he can be a great champion based on his run with the NXT Championship in 2015. He will be hoping to achieve a similar level of success on the main roster.

Neville is one of the most entertaining people on WWE’s roster to watch and 2017 will be a big year for him (hopefully)!
