WWE Looking to Pick The New ‘Top Guy’
Posted by Larry Csonka on 09.28.2012
Someone for Cena to pass the torch too…
- Following John Cena's public divorce and recent injuries, there has been more talk backstage about finding the next "top guy" for WWE, someone that Cena could pass the torch to.
The general feeling is that the next guy should be in his mid-20s right now. CM Punk is 33, a heel and also doesn't have the look WWE wants for the top guy
Sheamus has the look and is liked by the "right people," but he is 35, the same age as Cena right now.
As reported some time back, many believe who ever is picked as the next "top guy" will be the last hand picked star by Vince McMahon.

If that is true then the idea of Ryback as the next potential big or mega star might be a really short term plan since he'll be 31 in a little over a month from now. Although it also depends when the WWE actually bothers to start the massive push for that new top star.
Wouldn't be Ziggler either since he's 32 nor would it be Wade Barrett (32), Kofi Kiongston (31), Daniel Bryan (31), or the Miz (31). Ryder (27) and Cody Rhodes (27) actually fit the age range right now for current stars.
