10 Wrestlers who could replace Tommaso Ciampa as NXT World Champion

Tommaso Ciampa is in high spirits after his surgery, but a return date has not been announced yet.

Possible NXT champion #10: The Velveteen Dream

Years in the pro wrestling business: 4 (rookie.)

Height and Weight: 6'2" 227

Wrestling style: Technical wrestling.

Patrick Clark was one of the more impressive contestants on the 2014 edition of Tough Enough but was removed from the program for perceived arrogance. Obviously, that has not changed about the Dream.

What has changed is his approach to wrestling, which has earned him a great deal of support from the NXT Universe despite being ostensibly a heel character. His obvious allusions to Prince and Liberace only endear him further to the audience, and fans are still talking about his match against Ricochet at NXT Takeover.

Why he might be the next NXT champion: Velveteen Dream is probably the most popular wrestler on the NXT roster at present time. His poise and skill belie his brief stint in sports entertainment, and big things are in his future, including a possible NXT championship reign.

There you have it; Ten wrestlers who could be the next NXT champion. Questions or comments? Please leave them below the article and as always thanks for reading!
