    Top 5: Who From NXT Will Succeed On The Main Roster?

    1. Velveteen Dream
    -Has the look, he has Father Time on his side, very good in the ring, can talk till the sun comes up and goes back down and never be bored.

    2. Matt Riddle
    -Looks great, solid style in the ring, mic work may suffer a little under the scripted guidlines but other than that I see huge things for Mr. Riddle.

    3. Io Shirai
    -Arguably the best wrestler not named AJ Styles on the entire roster. Her English is much better than Asuka so she could avoid the bs she has dealt with more often than not. She has the potential to be the next big thing. PS-Extremely beautiful.

    4. Candice LeRae
    -I feel she has the potential to be one of the top 3-5 women on the main roster. She can wrestle, she can talk, looks awesome, the only thing holding her back is Io Shirai is better.

    5. Tommaso Ciampa
    -One of the best heels to come around in ages. Let him keep doing his thing, I see great things. The only negative might be that he's a lot shorter than he looks.

    1. Adam Cole - I really like this guy, I think he has potential to be either a top face or a top heel in WWE for years to come.

    2. Killian Dain - I like this dude, I think he can be WWE's next big monster, but someone who can actually go, unlike Lars Sullivan.

    3. Matt Riddle - Think he is primed to be the biggest heel in the business. Would be great to see that on a bigger stage.

    4. Pete Dunne - I think he should've been putt on the main roster years ago!

    5. Shayna Baszler - I really want her to run through all the WWE women talent, beating Charlotte and Becky last, only for Ronda Rousey to return and they have an epic encounter.

    1. Velveteen Dream - Been main roster ready for a long time.
    2. Adam Cole - He's really stepped it up in the ring lately and some great opppnents for him if he gets called up.
    3. Pete Dunne - He's more than proven himself ready with his UK title reign.
    4. Shayna Baszler - She should go on a tear before getting to Bayley or Becky.
    5. Io Shirai - Impressive enough as a face, but even more impressive as a heel. She should also go on a tear.

    If I'm looking at it from the prism of the old man:

    - Riddle
    - Ford
    - Dream
    - Storm

    We're going to learn a lot about Vince's mindset because Undisputed Era - as a collective - has to be put over right from the jump, so that makes them harder to screw up. The biggest thing is that it's a pack and that should help in terms of getting them over as group. They can just look dominant with the pack mentality and then attack the title picture like they're doing now on NXT. Yes, they're undersized but the group as a whole has buckets of charisma, they can talk (Roddy is improving with charisma and talking), and they have versatility. A majority of the core audience, which watches NXT, is in on them and will have high expectations for them so that will make it that much more interesting to see if Vince drops the ball with them.

    I’ll give honorable mentions to Catanzaro and Ripley.

    I'm worried for Dream when he moves to the main roster. They're just going to use him as a comedy jobber.

    The only guy I'm really praying for right now is Humberto Carrillo. Seems like he could be a huge career babyface...

    Speaking of just the ladies in NXT, I’ll echo others in that Io and Baszler are the two to watch for a major push on the main roster, though I also think Candice, Kacy, and Bianca have a lot to offer.

    In the current state of the main roster? No one.

    In an ideal world? Dream, Cole, Baszler, Shirai, Riddle

    Can you say Rico?

    It's going to be fucking sad when he leaves NXT.

    Even if they did, I think he's the type of talent that will shine through it and force them to give him more spotlight. The dude is transcendant.

    Vince will never get Dream.

    Baszler can be the female Brock if they don't fuck it up.

    Idk....something about him being the only NXT talent period in that 2k20 commercial gives me hope.


    Fuck it...I'll say it. Undisputed Era blows. I have never liked any of them. Especially Cole. Going back to ROH when they were Future Shock. Thank God he's only 5'5". 205 could use a good heel stable

    Agreed. Vince will take one look at Dream and immediately think GAY... he'll flirt with the dudes backstage... peak around corners... he'll have a talk show... he'll be annoying after a month.

    I worry for them all, obviously.

    Dream and Riddle should be succeeding massively on the main roster. Dream's gimmick is going to be changed though, lets be honest. Or at least tweaked beyond recognition.

    Adam Cole has zero chance on the main roster due to his size. He's absolutely tiny. Possibly even smaller than that.

    Baszler for me has the best chance, with Riddle.

    Are you trying to say gay people are annoying?

    The only guy I'm really praying for now is Kushida. Seems like he could be a huge career heel...

    Who will be more successful: Montez Ford or Velveteen Dream?

    Ford is getting a head start and he's got a crazy amount of charisma.

    I think Dream still edges him out. Ford is getting a head start by already being on the main roster but he's still a tag-team guy. I'd be interested in seeing Ford on his own, doing some singles work, see how he does and go from there.

    Right now it's like looking at The Smoking Gunnz and The Ringmaster and wondering if Billy Gunn is going to be a bigger name.

    He is too charismatic, great in the ring, has the size and mic work for them to ruin him like that.


    As for the list

    1. Dream
    2. Undisputed Era
    3. Riddle
    4. Shayna
    5. Io Shirai
    5 b. Pete Dunne

    Velveteen Dream- he has the gimmick, he can entertain, he has the talent to put a killer match on with anyone, can work as a face or heel, young. I'll go as far to say if anyone can be the next big thing in wrestling (I'm talking Rock/Stone Cold/Cena/Hogan level), he has the best chance.

    Shayna Bazzler- she would just be an instant effective heel on the ladies roster

    Io Shirai- can actually talk and play a character that's more than either smiling face or evil foreign Asian, beautiful, top notch in the ring

    The last one is I will cheat and say Gargano/Ciampa together- whether as DIY or as singles resuming their issues with one another- too talented either way to not be noticed and make a name for themselves
    Matt Riddle- instant character, the bro stuff will entertain and go far with mainstream audience, and sell merch, great talent
