My post will contain 2 parts, starting with 1 through 5.
Part 1:
1) John Cena
WWE has transitioned beyond being completly dependant on John, the TLC PPV BR bares that out, but you still get the overall feeling that he is the WWE.
2) Randy Orton
Randy did lead the WWE to it's most financialy sucessfull year in years back in 2009, and at any given moment he could be handed the reins of the entire WWE and carry it.
3) CM Punk
Punk has just recently been solidified as a permanent top star, and he is the most sucessfull WWE champ, outside of Cena, since Orton in 09.
4) Wade Barret
The UK has someone to be very proud of here. When he finally gets that WHC, his run should play out just as successfull as Henry's. He will be SD's #1 heel for 2012.
5) Sheamus
He would have been way further down the list had he not just came off a great RR victory. He will probably wind up in the WHC match against Barret at WM, and for reasons I can't figure out, he seems to be quite over.
