Back in 2009 on RAW, a battle royal was held to determine a challenger for either the WWE or World Title. What made this battle royal different was that none of the participants (with the exception of Randy Orton who whined his way in) had held either of the top titles.
Ultimately, Sheamus won that battle royal and made his way into main event status by defeating John Cena for the WWE title.
Now in 2012 I decided to simulate another Breakthrough Battle Royal to see who the FAN thinks is worthy of a title shot.
Here's how it works. Above are all the WWE Superstars who have never held either the WWE or World Championships.
Note: Even superstars that are currently injured (like Evan Bourne) are participating. For purposes of the contest just assume that they are healthy.
Every day you select two superstars you want to eliminate. The superstar with the most votes is eliminated. The last superstar left standing is the winner.

We have three eliminations this day. First Tensai had Jimmy Uso pressed over his head ready to toss him out, but Jey saved him. The Usos hit Tensai with a double superkick, which staggered the big man towards the ropes. The Usos then went for a double clothesline but Tensai ducked and backdropped the twins out.
Meanwhile, Santino Marella dropkicked Antonio Cesaro over the ropes but Cesaro landed on the apron. Santino then went for the Cobra but Cesaro ducked and pulled the top rope down and Santino fell over.
Now 25 remain. Who is the next superstar to go?
PREVIOUS ELIMINATIONS:
1. Camacho by Trent Barreta
2. Mason Ryan by Wade Barrett
3. JTG by Ryback
4. Brodus Clay by Kofi Kingston, Antonio Cesaro, R-Truth,Ted DiBiase & The Prime Time Players
5. Ezekiel Jackson by Ryback
6. Curt Hawkins by Zack Ryder
7. Jinder Mahal by Ryback.
