Dissecting the WWE Hierarchy

With the unification of the world titles and the inevitable unification of the midcard titles, the WWE has less of an ambiguous card. It's easy to rank wrestlers based on where they belong or should belong.

World Title: John Cena, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, and CM Punk: These are your main guys at the moment. All are in their thirties and relatively healthy. Now that the WHC has been absorbed by the WWE title Del Rio, Big Show, and Sheamus are disqualified from this position; They're upper midcarders who can fight for the title, but won't hold it for long. If anyone wants to fight for this spot they're going to have to go through these four men.

Midcard Title: Dolph Ziggler, Damien Sandow, Miz, Kofi Kingston: This one is harder to define. So many wrestlers are slightly above/below this level. Christian can easily shoot for this scene or the world title if his injuries don't get the better of him. Kofi already exhausted all the possibilities he has with these four men. His recent feud with The Miz (not the 2012 feud) hurt both superstars and almost jeopardized his spot on this card. Big E Langston and Curtis Axel both hurt their chances with this title; Curtis Axel lost it by being boring, while Langston is utilized improperly by The WWE (he's a naturally funny character, not a serious one). After The Shield collapses the individual members may have a shot at one of these titles, but only against these guys.

Real main event: Brodus Clay, Fandango: Beware, Xavier Woods. Beware.
