NXT 2.0 has a few gifted athletes that just so happen to be second-generation superstars or from wrestling families. Solo Sikoa made his debut for the brand and has quickly become one of the more intimidating forces on the roster. The Samoan street fighter has made short work of any opposition ahead of him and is on an impressive undefeated streak.

Sikoa is the brother of the reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso. Like the Bloodline members, he is also cousin to Universal Champion Roman Reigns. With the blood of WWE royalty running through his veins, one has to expect greatness from this second-generation competitor.

Solo Sikoa is just getting his career started, but fans have to think that he could be in the running for the top spot on the developmental brand. Since it is still early in his run, he can't rank higher on this list. Just don't be surprised when Sikoa has the NXT Championship wrapped around his waist.
