Wyatt, Orton or Cesaro will win it, and that is the order of likelihood for me.
They are going to put it on a heel; they almost HAVE to. Why put it on a face when Bryan will be back in a few weeks to reclaim it? This is why I am going with Wyatt. Wyatt was in that feud with Bryan a few months ago and as I've said before, it ended way too abruptly. If Bryan is coming back soonish and will be thrust right back into the title scene as is being predicted by many, Wyatt makes the most sense at this point. Gives Bryan a huge 'heel' to come back and triumph over and it closes out their feud properly. Also, with WWE employees stating recently that they see Wyatt becoming a face in the near future due to his popularity, this may be the only chance he gets to have a run as a champ in his current form; WWE might use this as a testing ground to see whether or not to keep him heel or turn him face.
Orton might win, as well, due to obvious reasons. Blah blah evolution, blah blah first WWE World Heavyweight Champ, blah blah never got his title rematch after the loss to Bryan and blah blah Orton was never pinned. Having Orton win and then drop the title back to Bryan lets the WWE escape without having to have Bryan go over another one of their 'big dogs' in the process.
Cesaro is my dark horse, but I don't see him getting the nod just yet. Hell, he can hardly handle RVD right now. They are giving him the slow push and I like it. Besides, in terms of Heyman guys, Lesnar will win the title before Cesaro.
Reigns has a slight chance of winning since he is Vince's new golden boy, but he is still a little green around the gills and unproven as a solo character. Seeing as The Shield is apparently fading away, I see them giving Reigns a little time to develop in the singles role before handing him the strap.
Cena won't win it this time, even though it has been awhile. Maybe next WM or Rumble or something, but not quite yet. Besides, he is supposed to be going into a program with Rusev soon according to some of the dirt sheets. Don't see them putting Rusev in the title scene yet. And really, who would Cena feud with over the title until Bryan gets back? And when Bryan gets back, why would he fight with Cena? Just because of the title? Nah. In saying that though, in the event they 'split' the titles again by having 2 men grab a title, I see it being Bray with one and Cena with the other. They then have a final match in their feud at SS and re-unify the titles, probably with Wyatt winning so he can hand them back to Bryan the next month. Could happen like that.
Sheamus already has a title atm. He isn't winning this one. Absolutely NO chance. Plus with him possibly going into a feud with Bray that would tend to lean more towards my idea of Bray winning it. Sheamus will bridge the gap for Wyatt until Bryan comes back. An interim feud, if you will.
Alberto is leaving soon. He isn't winning this. Him being put in the match at all was kind of surprising, but one last PPV main event might be a kind of thank you to him for his services over the past few years.
TL;DR? I was possessed by Noid. Not my fault.
