3 WrestleMania matches WWE could be planning for the NXT call ups
WWE made waves a couple of weeks ago by calling up four of NXT's best to the main roster - Aleister Black, Tommaso Ciampa, Ricochet, and Johnny Gargano.

They'll be working all three brands for now, but for Black, Ricochet, and Ciampa, the recent set of NXT tapings suggests that they're all set to wrap up their service on the yellow brand come TakeOver: New York, making them permanent fixtures after WrestleMania 35.
The surprise call ups supposedly came because Vince McMahon laments the lack of star power on Raw and SmackDown.
As a result, he would be pushing all four guys heavily. Those rumors have borne fruit so far, given their victories over established names over two weeks.
But if the idea is to really push these guys as stars, then we must turn our thoughts to what they'll be doing at WrestleMania 35.
I'll leave Johnny Gargano out of this because he looks set to finally capture the NXT Championship at TakeOver two nights before. Here are some matches WWE could be planning for the other three.
#3 Ricochet vs. Finn Balor
Supposedly, Vince McMahon penciled this match on Raw two weeks ago, only for Triple H to talk him out of it. There's no doubt that Triple H was correct. It was far too early.
WrestleMania 35 is a different ballgame.
Ricochet vs. Finn Balor is a dream match if there ever was one. We would be in store for unreal displays of speed and athleticism. WrestleMania would be as appropriate a place as any to air such a spectacle.
Realistically, there aren't many one on one matches for mid-card titles on the Show of Shows these days.
WWE might choose to do a multi-man or ladder match instead. Ricochet would shine in either setting, particularly a ladder one. His singles match with Finn Balor could then be set up for later on.
