NXT is the developmental brand for WWE, it is the place that is meant to build and improve wrestlers so that they can become the future stars of the WWE. And it works! If you look at the list of superstars on the current main roster to have come through NXT then you will have a list including many stars of the main roster! It includes: Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Rusev, Neville, Kevin Owens, Tyler Breeze, Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, Paige, Sin Cara, Kalisto, Bo Dallas, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and so many more I will have missed! This long list of stars suggests that NXT is working, it has reached an objective and is helping to create talent for the main roster! Talent that have the potential to be incredible, and to be huge stars within the company!
A question about NXT that is on the lips of so many people on twitter is always “Who will be the next person to be called up to main roster?”. And that is the question which I am going to look into today! Who will be the next NXT star to be called up to the main roster! Firstly, I’ve decided that I am not going to take the easy route and say that it will be either Finn Balor or Bayley as they are the champions, and if history is anything to go by, they should be promoted in the near future, maybe the day after wrestlemania? If not sooner!
Even without including these two champions there are still many options! Firstly, one of the superstars who has been in developmental for the longest Baron Corbin! Baron Corbin is one of the biggest stars in NXT at this moment in time! He has an impressive resume, he has had an undefeated streak with very short matches getting won easily, and recently has entered into some bigger feuds, with Rhyno and Samoa Joe! Although in the feud with Samoa Joe he was on the losing side, his in ring performance in the final match with Joe was superb, he really caught my eye and I would expect him to have a run with the NXT title in the next 6 months before having a dominating, impressive run with the title, and afterwards getting promoted to the main roster towards the end of 2016!
The tag team division in NXT is incredibly strong! There are two teams within NXT who I believe will be promoted within the next year, and these are Enzo and Cass and The Mechanics (Dash and Dawson). Enzo and Cass are one of the biggest teams when it comes to their fan popularity! Where NXT travels to they are receiving huge pops, as could be seen when NXT travelled to Brooklyn! On top of their popularity they are an impressive team, with Big Cass providing the power and Enzo providing the speed, and the underdog label! However, before they get their long awaited promotion to the main roster I believe that they need to finally win the NXT tag team titles! And that leads me onto the other team, the Mechanics, the current NXT tag team champions!
The Mechanics are currently dominating the NXT tag team division, they have dethroned The Vaudevillians in dominating style, and before that took Enzo and Cass, temporarily, out of action! They are a throwback team, they have great in ring ability, and amazing chemistry together! They wrestle in a vicious, violent, aggressive style and are more than happy to take out anybody who stands in their way! I expect to see The Mechanics continue to impress on NXT and continue to dominate for a while longer. Before, hopefully, making their step up to the main roster and continuing to dominate on Raw and Smackdown!
