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 #6: Pete Dunne the Bruiserweight.

Years in the pro wrestling business: 14 (veteran.)

Height and Weight: 5'10" 205 lbs.

Wrestling style: Mat technician, submissions, striking.

Pete Dunne has already been NXT UK champion and is recognized as an international junior heavyweight superstar despite his relative youth. Not only has Pete Dunne strongly influenced pro wrestling, but he has also dabbled with being a promoter.

His clashes with Tyler Bate have already made him a legend among NXT fans, and it's not that far fetched that he might be transferred over to the US brand of NXT from the UK.

Why he might be the next NXT champion: In terms of technical wrestling ability, Pete Dunne is probably in the top ten wrestlers in the world--if not the absolute top, with all respect to Kenny Omega Dunne is less spotty than the Best Bout Machine. NXT fans already know and love him, and he has a ton of charisma.
