#5- Robert Stieglitz (now campaigning at 175)

Editor's Note:
*- Ward will abdicate the throne at 168 when he makes his "official" debut at 175. Being that Ward has not defended the title since November 2013, if the #1 and #2 contenders fight each other before he abdicates, the winner would snatch the lineal title from him.
