It's going to be R-Truth (Who just got stomped by Del Rio), Zack Ryder, Fandango, Curtis Axel, and Heath Slater. People like Neville and Cesaro aren't treated like true enhancement talent. They actually are booked strong in matches and given outs if they lose. The other guys, well they get one or 3 moves in before the eventual end.

Two in a row for R-Truth, leaving him only one more loss before he ends up on the Wheel.

The guy who looks a bit credible and gets a semi-decent push away from Del Rio but still finds time to make sure everyone knows how aggressive Del Rio is. Truth and Zack are a guarantee.

Is Zack even considered a main roster guy anymore? Or is he full on NXT as a Hype Bro?

Either way, I don't see him high enough on the food chain to even get on Raw to lose to Del Rio.

Zack is as much a main roster guy as Sin Cara when he was teaming with Kalisto or Tyson Kidd during his heel push. I don't even consider talents who work on NXT because they don't get used on main roster programming like Emma, Eva (Total Divas) or Riley (competed in the ARMBAR even though Hideo Itami was already given "The NXT Spot") as "Full On NXT". Zack is absolutely the type of guy they SHOULD use for Del Rio. I'd actually like to see Zack have a competitive match with Berto.

I met him earlier this year and was able to have a good talk with him. He comes across in person as a guy with a lot of presence and he seemed huge up close. It only made me like him more. I'm glad to see him back. A wrestler who can wrestle. Perfect.

I think that Jack Swagger is a lock in

I think that Jack Swagger is a lock in I don't know as it actually looks like he's going to be in a long term feud with Del Rio which wouldn't make him eligible for the wheel of aggression at least for now, as they have to save him for Survivor Series when Del Rio puts the cross arm breaker on him aggressively and doesn't let go. Also there's a chance he might join Del Rio and Zeb in Meximerica afterwards. Basically to make the wheel of aggression you have to meet all these qualifications. 1. WWE doesn't care about protecting you (Cena, Reigns, Orton, and Ambrose ineligible) 2. Is important enough to be on TV despite WWE not caring about protecting you (Zack Ryder and Fandango ineligible. Swagger will possibly fall into this boat too once his feud with Del Rio is over) 3. Have nothing to do with Alberto Del Rio as far as storyline and feuds go. 4. Must be a Midcard Babyface (all heels on the roster ineligible) Ziggler, Neville, Cesaro, and R-Truth will make up the new and improved wheel of aggression for sure as they're the only guys on the roster that meet all the qualifications. Both Neville and Truth have already felt his wrath and more importantly AGGRESSION already. Ryback is the one guy I'm not sure about as he's protected more then those guys but is nowhere near protected as Cena, Orton, Reigns, and Ambrose and has also recently done clean jobs to Rollins and Kevin Owens which makes me lean towards him not being safe from Del Rio's aggression. Once their little tag push ends, Kalisto and Del Rio's old bud Sin Cara will also be main stays on the wheel as well I'm sure.

^Ziggler is arguably on the same level as Ryback. Yeah they're pretty close in the pecking order, seemingly alternating with each other between number five and six babyface on the depth chart depending on the week. I'm just saying that Ziggler fits the bill more of being a guy that they feed to Del Rio. Of the two Ryback is protected a bit more then Ziggler in that he doesn't do as many jobs despite being pretty close as far as push and TV time goes, with Ziggler actually having a little bit of edge in the latter due to all the soap opera drama stuff he's been involved in lately. Also since Ryback is a big guy, I find it harder to believe that they're just going to trot him out there on multiple occasions to get beat decisively by Del Rio in some filler Raw match. Ziggler fits that bill more a lot more as he's a lot smaller and can take bigger bumps to make Del Rio look strong. Ziggler and Del Rio also apparently have a real good rapport and enjoy working with each other a lot, which is a big reason why they wrestled each other so much during Del Rio's last run.

Stardust enters the playing field after a loss on SmackDown, although it's unlikely he'll get on the Wheel unless there's a face turn down the line. Kalisto may not be too far behind him if expected results happen, but he's already pulled one upset in this tourney... One more is not completely implausible now.

Honestly, the biggest clue about the WWE's cluelessness with booking most wrestlers is the fact that they still won't let ADR be a babyface ON HIS OWN TERMS. You look at practically every appearance he made during the period he was away from the WWE and he pretty much tore the house down as a face, without having to be... whatever the hell his WWE face run was.
But that ties back into the WWE's complete unwillingness to let wrestlers be themselves unless they're practically forced to.

Finally updated the thing... Swagger's dropped two to him and is close to joining the wheel, but he's assisted by a half-point subtraction for claiming a DQ win over Del Rio before those two losses. Ryback's loss on SmackDown two weeks ago was directly because of League Of Nations interference late in the match, so that's only a half point towards making the wheel. Other than that, nobody's actually gotten on the thing yet.
John Cena gets his chance to get off the board completely if he beats Del Rio on Monday.

A DQ win for Cena takes him down to half a point, so he's still technically on the board.

Haven't actually checked to update this in the new year yet until now... F***ing hell, his lack of singles matches due to being in The League Of Crazy Passports has really done a number on the Wheel. Many talents have actually had their scores reset back to zero for making it to three months without being made to repeatedly make Del Rio look more aggressive than he's ever been before (Neville and R-Truth in particular went from two points back to zero).
