10 Pro Wrestlers who may become the Next Big Thing

NXT's Matt Riddle could be a huge star in the making

#9 Tommaso Ciampa

Few athletes have the grit, the perseverance, or the intensity of Ciampa

Some are already calling Ciampa the next big thing in wrestling. His heel persona has truly come into its own and he appears poised for greatness.

Why he might be the next big thing: Few athletes have the grit, the perseverance, or the intensity of Ciampa.

Why he might not be the next big thing: Ciampa is a light heavyweight, but eschews high flying moves for the most part and uses a ground-based attack.

This might be confusing for fans who are expecting the smaller wrestlers to fly. Also, his knees have already suffered significant damage, and he may have problems keeping them healthy working the various dates the WWE requires.
