10 NXT Superstars who could become future World Champions

#7 Io Shirai

Shirai has proven why she deserves to be a champion

Japanese Superstars have slowly started taking over WWE in recent times, with Asuka, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Kairi Sane leading the pack.

After a great reign as the NXT Women’s Champion, Asuka has been the only one out of the three to win a world title in the form of the SmackDown Women’s Championship, and will hopefully go on to win many more titles.

Io Shirai is one Superstar in NXT who is just getting started but has proven to be much better than many other women out there. In fact, many have been so impressed with her skills that they have put her ahead of Asuka and Sane in terms of the impact she could have in the women's division in the future.

While Shirai is currently looking to win her first Championship in WWE in the form of the NXT Women’s title, the Superstar has what it takes, and much more, to potentially become the RAW or SmackDown Women’s Champion.

The Genius from the Sky is extremely skilled and has some of the best high-flying moves in the industry. Along with that, her character is incredible and she has proven to be a great heel during her time in the Black & Gold brand.

If Shirai gets the right bookings in the coming years, nothing will stop her from becoming the next biggest World Champion for the women’s division.
