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.

Like Survivor Series, our battle royal just witnessed a major shakeup. The NXT Trio (Ambrose, Reigns & Rollins) just ran in from the crowd. Both Sin Cara & Zack Ryder were in their way so the threesome just eliminated them. They don't seem to be interested in leaving so I think they just became our new participants.
Now we are up to 14. And as we just saw anything can happen in this battle royal. Who is the next superstar to go?
