Next 5 WWE stars to win the NXT Heavyweight Championship

WWE NXT remains the hottest commodity in professional wrestling. Since its inception, Seth Rollins, Big E, Bo Dallas, Neville, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Finn Balor have captured the prestigious NXT Heavyweight championship. Aside from Dallas, the ones who went to the main roster have maintained a successful career thus far. Rollins and Big E are the superstars at this point, because of their championships and accolades since their promotion. While in WWE NXT, fans often wonder who the next “big guy” is.They ask the same question about who the next John Cena will be. Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to predict the next WWE megastar. Even when Cena and the Rock debuted in the WWE, few actually knew how great they both would turn out to be. Others are rare cases like CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. Unless the person predicting their success had a crystal ball, their independent achievements weren’t enough to gauge the same amount of impact each man would have.WWE has a great problem on their hands. In WWE NXT, too many guys have the potential to become NXT Heavyweight champion. After Balor drops the belt on his way to WWE Raw, somebody will have to pick up where he left off. These five men are the best candidates to take over as NXT champion.

#1 Apollo Crews

WWE fans have considered him as the next John Cena and first African-American WWE World Heavyweight champion. Whether those feats come true or not, there is no denying the skill that Apollo Crews contains. He’s only been on WWE NXT for a few weeks, but in that time, he’d made an impact and connection with the WWE Universe.

The automatic charisma is definitely a help towards the young man, which is only going to help his case for NXT champion easier. Right now, he’s headed for a mini-feud with Tyler Breeze. Whoever wins that may become a contender for the NXT title.
