In professional wrestling, it’s easy to spot who WWE thinks the next “top guy” is. They may have a specific look, style, move set – something that sets them apart from the rest of the pack and establishes them as the next in line for a major push to the top of the card. Every so often, an anomaly occurs and changes the trajectory of a performer who may not have previously been seen as “the guy” to lead, and the performer finds the string and keeps pulling until he finds himself at the top of the mountain.
