NXT is considered as the third brand of WWE after their flagship shows Raw and SmackDown Live.
But NXT has become more than a Development Territory and has been more successful than the flagship shows. It has featured better matches, better story, and better rivalries. Triple H(current match booker of NXT) has made NXT a big deal. It has done what the main roster hasn't done and has become a beloved wrestling show worldwide.
But only management cannot make a show great. Wrestlers also play a huge role in making it successful. They can also make it on the main roster too successfully. Here are five wrestlers who will become a huge hit on the main roster:
#5. Lars Sullivan
Lars Sullivan is a beast to be reckoned with. After getting dubbed as the "Next Brock Lesnar", he became Brock Lesnar of NXT. He wrecked everyone who came in his path as he destroyed everyone. He was even undefeated and his first loss came against Aleister Black who pinned him for the first time. Also, he was a part of 6-man ladder match at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans in which he performed like a beast and created havoc. The match was rated 5-stars.
Everyone knows that Vince McMahon likes big men who look like monsters and Lars Sullivan is one of them. Vince McMahon might book Lars as a complete monster. Also, his NXT days might be over in a few weeks. Let us see what havoc he makes when he arrives on the main roster.
#4. The Velveteen Dream
Velveteen Dream is one of the best characters in NXT. His Prince-inspired persona and attire are one of the best in professional wrestling. The former Tough Enough star was earlier criticized for his in-ring persona but he worked hard and managed the hate to become cheers and he is now one of the most over wrestlers in the WWE.
You can see the fans go crazy when he walks down the ramp chanting 'Velveteen'. He was a part of 6-man ladder match at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn which got a five-star rating. He was also praised for his performance in the match by many legends and hall of famers. Recently, he put on a classic match with Ricochet at NXT TakeOver: Chicago II
Velveteen is just 23 and he got what most of the wrestlers can only 'Dream' of. He has the skills, the passion and mic skills that only a few wrestlers have. Many legends have even shown interest in fighting him(example: John Cena). Seeing this, I don't think that he will be a miss on the main roster and will be more successful than he is now.
#3. Shayna Baszler
Shayna Baszler is the current NXT Women's Champion and has held the title since NXT TakeOver: New Orleans when she defeated Ember Moon to become new NXT Women's Champion. The former MMA fighter also has an impressive record of 15-11.
She also wrestled on Indie Circuit before making her way to WWE in 2017, fighting in Mae Young Classic in which she lost in the finals to Kairi Sane. Since then, she has been on the top of NXT Women's division and has become a Submission Specialist. She is currently 37, but the fans don't even think that her age is stopping her.
Rumors suggest that Baszler might lose the title to Kairi Sane at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn. If she loses, expect her to be on Monday Night Raw or SmackDown Live after SummerSlam. As a part of four horsewomen of UFC, expect her to be on the top of women's division on the main roster.
#2. EC3
EC3 has been in the WWE before as Derrick Bateman which was a flop, but don't expect him to be a flop this time. This time he has arrived at the persona he is best at.
Former TNA star, EC3 is a former 2-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion and Impact Grand Champion. EC3 announced at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia that he has joined WWE and arrived as a heel. He fought his first match at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, a 6-man ladder match for NXT North American Championship where he lost.
Also, he remained undefeated in singles competition until his loss to Johnny Gargano. He is a wrestler who has charisma and mic skills second to none. He might become a champion in NXT and convert NXT into NX3 no doubt. But his skills have guaranteed that he is a future main roster champion.
#1. The Undisputed Era
Undisputed Era is arguably one of the best stables in the world right now and the best team in WWE. The Undisputed Era consists of the team of Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong and injured Bobby Fish where all of them are champions, notably Adam Cole is NXT North American Champion and Kyle O' Reilly and Roderick Strong(replaced Bobby Fish) are NXT Tag Team Champions.
All the members of Undisputed Era made a name of themselves on Independent Wrestling where Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, and Roderick Strong are former ROH World Champions and Bobby Fish and Adam Cole have been ROH Tag Team Champion with Kyle O'Reilly(where they worked as partners too).
The Undisputed Era joined WWE last year and has achieved a lot since and even helped Roderick Strong get on track in NXT. Currently, all active wrestlers of the group gave WWE 2 five-star matches notably 6-man ladder match at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans for NXT North American Championship and Strong and O'Reilly Vs Tyler Bate and Trent Seven which were all won by members of Undisputed Era. Also, Strong and O'Reilly vs Bate and Seven became first WWE tag team match to get a 5-star rating.
We know that the group has achieved every bit of success in NXT. They might be going to the main roster after SummerSlam and will definitely shock the system on the main roster. Imagine the crowd reaction they will get when they arrive on the main roster. Personally, I am very excited to witness dream feuds for the stable.
