The first two would obviously be Cody and Sami.
Who else do you see being 1st time WWE or Universal champions in 2023?
The Roman reign has to end sometime in 2023, so this a good chance to make SOMEONE.
I'd like to see others get their chance too, even Knight if he moves up the card that fast by the end of the year.

Dunno... Cody and Sami likely should be.
But both of those reigns should be decent in length too... Cody especially if he's the one that's going to dethrone Roman (not that he should be a multi year holder... but still)
Outside of that I could see Gunther.

I could see Gunther being Champion by the end of the year maybe. But all depends if Roman sticks around I guess.

The first two would obviously be Cody and Sami. I’ll never get over how awesomely surreal it is that less than a year ago Sami was losing to Johnny Knoxville and getting bodyslammed by f***ing Wee Man, and now we’re just entering 2023 and we’re all comfortably like “yeah yeah Sami will be world champion this year, obviously, but like, who else” Just the best time to be a fan.

For some reason, I don't think it's an impossibility Nakamura does it.

Besides Cody and Gunther, I think Damian Priest has an outside shot within the next two years. They're giving him the bulk of the in-ring work with Judgement Day and he definitely has the look.

If WWE hasn't given up on their idea of trying to expand into Japan, or lure other Japanese wrestlers, it'd also certainly be a statement. It's also just be kind of cool to put the "World" in "World Wrestling Entertainment" more. They've had North Americans, Europeans, and an African winning the world title, but no Japanese wrestlers yet.

If Cody wins at WrestleMania then there's a good chance GUNTHER will be an upcoming feud for him. Cody will probably be THE GUY for the next year or so, but WWE often like to disrupt a babyface reign with a brief trade back and forth with a heel to keep things fresh and keep fan support going (e.g. Shawn-Sid-Shawn, Rock-HHH-Rock, Drew-Orton-Drew).
This was a long-winded way of saying GUNTHER.
