I am still betting on Otunga winning. Barrett is ranked No. 1 right now and the ranks always change, I can't see him keeping the No. 1 spot for long. Otunga has the attitude and the look to become huge in WWE. Wade Barrett looks sort of awkward with a haircut straight out of the 1950's. Barrett definitely has the edge over Otunga in ring, but promos are pretty much the same. I don't count the promo he cut in England because that was his hometown and the reaction he got was predictable.
Plus Otunga has Hollywood ties and WWE will kiss anyone's ass who has media connections, just see the guest hosts every week.
