Cody's out. Brock is never a long term replacement. Cena is hollywood. Orton is most likely out for 2022.
So of the main roster guys, who do you make the #1 guy the rest of the year until Cody returns?
The roster is pretty bare of babyfaces right now.

I think McIntyre is the most "ready," but a (perhaps insane) part of me wants to see them give Mustafa Ali a chance. Riddle did just lose, but you could argue he's already there.

Drew right now. Let him beat Roman and finally get a run in front of fans as the top face until Cody returns.
I'd also turn Rollins face next year after the Cody stuff is finished. The key to it would be not changing him a whole lot though, we don't want 2019 face Rollins. Just tone himself down a tiny bit and start fighting heels instead of faces and I think fans will get behind him like they did during the brief feud with Roman earlier this year.

Wow, that list...
Really shows how little talent has been put in place for this, Drew is the only one under 40. 10 years ago this would have been a great list, hell, 15...

I'd add Riddle to the list, but McIntyre is the answer right now.

McIntyre should win money in the bank announce he wants a match at Clash at the Castle and win that match.

Roman Reigns. He is the biggest star. He is the biggest badass. He already gets cheered. Transition him into fighting the heels and stop the cheating and run ins. Otherwise present him the same.

I'd say Riddle. Drew is over but I think he's reached a ceiling of being pretty over but unable to be THE guy. At least right now. Great spot mind you but it's a 2000s HBK to me. Top guy who isn't going to be the very top guy. Riddle has shown enough to me over the past six months that he can reach another level in the next year with the right push.

Drew. He's already proven he has what it takes.

Drew and Bobby should be the faces they're building around right now. Like both share the #1 spot somehow.

McIntyre. Looking at the options for this poll really shows their problems with age and making new stars. Other then Drew all the other options are well north of 40.

I’d tone down the cackling, but just to a bit and have him f*** around with heels instead of faces (kinda like what he did with Roman by using the Shield music at Royal Rumble to mess with him).

Drew not getting the ball (and a proper title reign) as the #1 face after the pandemic is an absolute crime.

Drew not getting the ball (and a proper title reign) as the #1 face after the pandemic is an absolute crime. I've said this in a few other threads. Since dropping the title in 2021, he seems to be like Bret Hart 1995. Demoted to mid-card fighting every gimmick wrestler out there.

Drew was so good until Sheamus gave him that damn sword.
