Ranking the next wave of top WWE NXT talent

NXTFor the past two years, WWE NXT has slowly developed and evolved into some of WWE’s best television. Their Takeover specials are consistently on par, or arguably better than the respective WWE PPV’s.For this list we will be excluding already established top tier NXT talents such as Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Bayley, Hideo Itami, etc. and instead focusing on who will likely cement themselves as a top talent in the near future.So let’s take a look now and rank NXT’s top 5 potential main event talents.

#5 Baron Corbin

The Lone Wolf

Baron Corbin has been an official part of the NXT for quite some time now and has been pushed extremely strong since his debut. However his initial squash matches failed to get him truly over and since then has only had minor feuds.

Corbin always had the advantage of an impressive statue but now as his wrestling ability has been slowly improving, he is maturing into a much better all-round performer.

Furthermore, his new heel persona also has much more potential and with many established names either injured or moving on to the main roster, it frees up room for Corbin to be pushed as a top talent.
