#1. Bandido could be the World Champion soon

Rey Mysterio is always known for being the smaller competitor in the ring. However, he never let his size limit his capabilities in the squared circle. In 2006, he defied all odds to win the Royal Rumble match. Following this, he went on to win the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. He proved it wasn't a fluke by winning the World Title two more times in the WWE.

Bandido also defied all odds to win the ROH World Title two times. In fact, he is the current ROH World Champion. It looks like Bandido is slowly climbing up the ranks in All Elite Wrestling, and it's only a matter of time before he wins the AEW World Title as well.
