- Atlanta Falcons: Daniel Bryan
It seems weird to say, since we all know Vince has never been too fond of the stars that don't have the prototypical WWE physique, but Daniel Bryan is about to become one of WWE's biggest stars. There is a solid chance that he becomes the champion soon (though it may not be for that long), his matches are always exciting, and he is over with the crowd. The Atlanta Falcons seem like that team just on the verge of massive success as well. They finally got over the hump of not winning a playoff game under Matt Ryan. Now, with an explosive offense led my Matty Ice, Julio Jones and Roddy White, the sky seems to be the limit. Now, if only one of them would grow a Daniel Bryan-esque beard, the comparison would be perfect. Could they win the Super Bowl this year? YES! YES! YES!
- New Orleans Saints: Dolph Ziggler
I don't know if I can name anyone (outside of Falcons fans, of which there are maybe 40) that hates the New Orleans Saints or how they play football. Even last season, when they were hurt by suspensions surrounding Bounty Gate, more fans seemed to take their side instead of agreeing with Roger "Vince McMahon" Goodell. They want to see the Saints do well because they are great to watch, and can steal the show every Sunday. Dolph Ziggler is the smark's favorite wrestler. He sells things perfectly. He is great on the mic. Even when he was a top heel, cheating to win, the fans loved him. He won a title, then was hurt via concussion, but looks like is coming back better than ever, despite Vince "Roger Goodell" McMahon's refusal to push him.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jack Swagger
Remember when the Bucs won the Super Bowl? Didn't that seem weird to a lot of people? I mean, sure, they had an awesome defense, but they just didn't seem like a championship team in the era where Brady and Manning were dominating. The same can be said for Jack Swagger. He was the World Champion, but I can't exactly remember anything about his title run. He just doesn't seem to fit in with the Main Event players. Both the Bucs and Swagger are looking to improve, and not just be stuck in the mid card for another year.
- Carolina Panthers- Tons of Funk
Originally, I thought that the whole Brodus Clay "Funkasaurus" thing was cute. It was like Rikishi in Too Cool, or Flash Funk. Seemed like harmless fun. Perfect for WWE-PG. The thing with Rikishi, though, was that we knew that if he could actually wrestle if it was needed. Still not sold on Brodus Clay. Furthermore, the attempted re-branding of Lord Tensai (Albert...) as Sweet T only added to this joke because he hasn't won any kind of big match in WWE since he was teaming with Test (RIP). Its the same thing with the Panthers. Sure, Cam Newton can be fun to watch. He is big, he runs a lot, he can throw a mile. When he scores, he does a fun/easily-imitable "Super Man" move that the kids love. The problem is, when the Panthers come to play on Sunday, they usually lose. No one is afraid of them. The Panthers, like Tons of Funk, need a re-branding if they want to be taken seriously.
Next up, we conclude the NFC with a look out West.
