#5 Neville

The former NXT champion has been someone who worked his way through the independent scene before he stepped foot in the WWE, and has impressed one and all in the WWE brass with his amazing in – ring skills. Neville honed his craft and learned the “WWE style” in NXT, where he spent more than a year. On the RAW after WrestleMania 31, the WWE management finally decided to bring Neville to the main roster, and he was welcomed with open arms by the WWE fans.

Neville faced the current WWE World Heavyweight champion, and former NXT champion himself, Seth Rollins. Neville once again received high praises for his debut match on RAW, and with WWE looking to build a new superstar to cater to the fans in the United Kingdom, Neville might find himself at the right place at the right time.

With “The man that gravity forgot” already winning fans over on the main roster, 2015 looks good for Neville. Vince McMahon reportedly has a “mighty mouse” gimmick for Neville, and if WWE chooses to utilize his unique talents and give him the ball to run with, Neville might make a strong case for an important spot at WrestleMania 32.

#4 Charlotte

With AJ Lee recently retiring from the WWE, the divas division now is in need of another revolutionary diva, and it can be the calling that Charlotte has been waiting for. The former NXT women’s champion has impressed one and all with her athleticism and in – ring prowess, and has put on many memorable matches on NXT with the likes of Sasha Banks and Bayley.

Being the daughter of “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, Charlotte carried a lot of expectations on her shoulders, and has won praises from the superstars and fans alike for her incredible talents. With her losing the NXT women’s championship to Sasha Banks, it has been rumored for quite a while that WWE would be bringing her to the main roster, and with AJ Lee retiring, it might speed up the process, with Charlotte making her debut after the Extreme Rules PPV.

If her time at NXT was anything to go by, Charlotte will undoubtedly take the main roster by storm, and is one of the firm favorites to make a huge impact in 2015.

#3 Kevin Owens

The current NXT champion has been a ruthless figure, and the former Kevin Steen made a huge impact on his debut show by viciously attacking the former NXT champion, and his best friend in the independent circuit, Sami Zayn. This rekindled one of the greatest feuds in recent memory, as Owens thwarted Sami with ease, winning the NXT championship in the process.

Kevin Owens can be one of the most ruthless, calculating heels if the booking is done right, and that is exactly what has happened with him at NXT. Owens has already captivated the WWE Universe, and one feels that it is only a matter of time before he is brought to the main roster. With the way things have started for Owens in the WWE, the fans needn’t be surprised if he ends up making the biggest impact in 2015, and bulldozes his way through the WWE locker room.

#2 Sami Zayn

The former NXT champion was taken out by Kevin Owens, and the former El Generico has been rumored to make his long – awaited debut on the WWE main roster in the near future. Sami is one of the most likable characters on the WWE roster, and after performing on NXT for over a year, one feels that it is about time the WWE management pulls the trigger with Sami, and brings him to the main roster.

Sami can also be the perfect underdog competitor, along the likes of Rey Mysterio on the main roster. With the talent pool a little thin, Sami will make a great addition, and can find himself in a great spot heading into WrestleMania 32.

#1 Finn Balor

At number one is the unpredictable Finn Balor, who has managed to captivate the WWE Universe with his unique character. Balor has made a name for himself in Japan, and was a main stay at New Japan Pro Wrestling. With WWE showing interest in him, Balor decided to sign up with the WWE and made his way into NXT, although it has been reported that his stay would be relatively short in the developmental territory before he is brought down to the main roster.

Finn Balor’s entrances have enthralled the professional wrestling fans around the globe, and he has done the same in the WWE. In a relatively short period, Balor has achieved great success in the WWE, and has already won the fans over with his unique style and in – ring abilities. Balor might find himself on the main roster by the end of the year, and he has all the tools required to make a huge splash in the world of professional wrestling.
