To win the World Heavyweight Championship could be Kofi, Morrison, McIntyre, Miz, Christian or Swagger as it is the belt of Smackdown basically and that is a place where they can get away with it. New guys winning the WWE Championship, Sheamus really pulled a fast one but i don't know if anybody new will win it for another year.

Over the last few years, how many have actually produced a first time world champion? 2006 - Edge, Rob Van Dam, Rey Mysterio, King Booker (his first WWE World Title anyway) 2007 - The Great Khali 2008 - CM Punk, Jeff Hardy 2009 - Sheamus All I can think of. Now I know why 2006 was one of my favorite years of this decade.

For all of the people who talk about how guys like Kofi aren't ready after two years or how Morrison isn't there yet after four or five, I always wonder what sort of twisted logic there is to it. I mean, Cena won the title within three years, and he's the biggest star in the business today. Austin won it within three years too, and he's in the Hall of Fame. Hell, Rock won it in two, Taker won it in one, Triple H did it in four... And freakin' Hogan won it in a month. The amount of time served with the company is by no means an indicator as to whether or not someone should have the title. If they have the talent and are over, they're ready. All of those people (except the rock) had years of experience in the industry. So it's a little different. That being said, I think Morrison is ready now. No love for Ziggler? I definitely think he's good enough, and if they'll put the title on Sheamus, then why not Ziggler?

You could also put Bobby Lashley in 2006 and move CM Punk to 2007 if you want to consider the ECW title a "world" title (I don't personally, but still). Under Lashley's reign the the WWE called the ECW a "World Title". But When John Morrison won, they decided to just make it the ECW title, therefore CM Punk, Morrison and the other wrestlers to have won it after Morrison are not World Champions. But back on topic, it's the obvious. Kofi, John Morrsion, or Christian. When Morrison won the belt he won it as a World title therefore he is a former world champion. CM Punk didn't get his first official world title reign until he cashed in money in the bank.

I don't see anyone winning it for the first time this year. There's no one on the card that screams "I'm ready" to me. Give JoMo, Christian, and possibly Kofi another year or two and they'll be set for the main event. Go back to this time last year; Sheamus hadn't even debuted yet!
