The Monday Night Messiah has taken the WWE by storm in recent weeks. Since he last turned heel, Seth Rollins has criticized the fans, brutalized his opponents and is on a mission to take over RAW. Along the way, Rollins has recruited Murphy and Austin Theory to join his ranks. Since then, Rollins has been locked in an intense feud with the Mysterio family, culminating in Rey Mysterio losing his eye.

Rey has not been the only Mysterio to suffer at the hands of Rollins, his son Dominick has also been brutalized by Rollins. All the while his disciple Murphy assaulted Aleister Black, leading Black to the same fate as Rey Mysterio. With the Monday Night Messiah poised for a take over, fans are left wondering who's next to be recruited into this dark cult.
10 Randy Orton
Throughout his career, Randy Orton has been apart of many notable factions and tag teams. Orton rose to fame as a member of Evolution in his early years and now he has the opportunity to help recreate just that. With Orton being one of the more experienced stars on the roster, he could take the position of a seasoned veteran in the group.
Similarly to how Ric Flair or Triple H was to Evolution, Orton can do just that in this group. With Orton's sadistic heel tactics, this is definitely a match up to watch. Orton likely wouldn't hesitate to take out an opponent's eye if it's for the greater good. Rollins can use a man like him by his side.
9 CM Punk
With rumors about CM Punk's return to WWE becoming more frequent, fans can only hope that the Straight Edge Superstar will be back in the near future. With CM Punk's experience as leader of The New Nexus and The Straight Edge Society, he could be an interesting addition to Rollins' faction.
Due to the fact CM Punk has not wrestled recently, he could possibly take the role as manager of the group. CM Punk has always had the ability to cut interesting promos and him being the voice of Rollins' stable could be very interesting for fans.
8 Rey Mysterio
After a fairly intense rivalry that culminated into a very questionable match at this year's Extreme Rules pay-per view, it's possible though highly unlikely that Rey Mysterio could be poised to be the newest member of Seth Rollins' faction. For starters, Rey already lost the eye for an eye match and Rey's own son Dominick is showing signs of joining Rollins.

However, nobody should doubt the power of The Monday Night Messiah's indoctrination capabilities. Imagine if Rollins actually ended up brain-washing Rey against his son or vice versa. What if Rey and Dominik turn themselves over to the greater good?
Hypothetically-speaking, if Dominik does decide to join Rollins, Rey could possibly be swayed into joining the action in a last ditch effort to save his son. However, this could possibly be a pivotal moment in his career if Rey were to join, as it would show fans a different side of him.
7 Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens was on the unfortunate end of a beating by the hands of Seth Rollins and his recently formed group. Kevin Owens since debuting in NXT, KO has been know for his brutal nature, while his competitive side can never be questioned. The two had recently feuded and met in a No Disqualification match at WrestleMania 36 in which both men were pushed to their limit, with Kevin Owens coming out victorious. The two had great chemistry throughout the rivalry and joining forces could lead to even more explosive rivalries but this time they'll be side-by-side. Perhaps, KO might change his ways and decide to work towards the greater good with The Monday Night Messiah.
6 AJ Styles
AJ Styles and Seth Rollins were engaged in a brief but brutal rivalry that saw Seth retain his Universal Championship at the Money In The Bank pay-per view. Seth and AJ also participated in a champion versus champion match for the main event of Raw. AJ was the leader of his faction, the OC, who recently disbanded following this year's WresleMania. With AJ now without a faction, he could join forces with Seth Rollins as the pair already have great chemistry as opponents, who's to say they won't match up well as partners?
5 Humberto Carrillo
Since making his main roster debut, Humberto Carrillo has struggled to find his footing. His most recent rivalry has been with The Monday Night Messiah, where Carrillo rushed to the aid of Rey Mysterio. The Latin Lion has been lacking direction as of late, and becoming a disciple of The Monday Night Messiah could be the shot in the arm needed to revitalize his career.

Carrillo has unsuccessfully challenged Rollins' understudy Murphy and had teamed up with fellow superstar Aleister Black to combat Rollins' disciples. Carrillo could better advance his main event push by making a shocking heel turn and becoming a disciple. If Carrillo was to do this, expect a nastier side of him to come out as well. Carrillo could say that he's jealous of the attention Dominik is receiving after only a few matches, and thereby join The Monday Night Messiah in his war against the Mysterios.
4 Aleister Black
After making his first appearance on the main roster, Aleister Black has taken the WWE by storm. Black is known for his fast-paced style and ability to decimate his opponents with minimal effort. Black also holds himself as a man who is in touch with his dark side and is currently feuding with one of Rollins' toughest rivals, Kevin Owens.

Due to his dark nature already, Black has the potential to replace a current disciple and could possibly be the final push Black needs to be a main event talent. Only time can tell, however fans are hopeful for an interesting end to Black's storyline with Rollins' disciples. Perhaps, Black losing his eye had him see the light and change for "the greater good" and thereby join the side of Rollins and Murphy. Black is already a bad guy and this would solidify his heel status even further.
3 MVP
Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) first debuted for WWE in 2006 and initially left in 2010 after finding some successes within the mid-card. After 10 years after from WWE, MVP returned to action and quickly joined forces with Bobby Lashley to form The Hurt Business. Lashley and MVP have been brutalizing opponents in recent weeks, most recently "taking over" Raw Underground. With MVP's return to WWE with a more hardcore side, seeing him turn on Lashley would be an interesting aspect fans are definitely not expecting. Maybe MVP will finally see the light of "the greater good" and leave The Hurt Business behind to become a disciple of The Monday Night Messiah.
2 King Corbin
In 2019, King Corbin (then Baron Corbin), faced off against Seth Rollins at Stomping Grounds for the WWE Universal Title. While the match began with questionable officiating, Seth Rollins eventually went on to overcome Corbin and retain his Universal title. Corbin and Rollins' feud eventually ended as Rollins went on to face Brock Lesnar. However, the two had undeniable chemistry when in the ring together. Corbin has made a name for himself being a ruthless superstar and would fit in well within Rollins' faction as the muscle of the group.
1 Nia Jax
With Seth Rollins' ultimate goal being to take over the RAW roster, Nia Jax becoming a disciple could be an extremely pivotal point for the group. The addition of Jax could allow the group to expand at a more rapid pace and also allow them to reek even more havoc on the WWE roster, including the Women's Division. With Nia Jax currently being the most intimidating women's wrestler on either show, her addition could prove to be a formidable one for the group. Nia could act as the group's female enforcer and strike fear into the other female superstars as one of Rollins' disciples.
