#5 Tommaso Ciampa
Wrestling is not only about in-ring skills, but a lot about mic skills and overall character too. There is no man with a more solid character in NXT than Tommaso Ciampa, and he is arguably one of the finest wrestlers we’ve seen in a long time.
Ciampa’s character took several years to develop and reach its final stage. But now, he seems to have one of the most complete and strong characters in WWE.
Along with that, his superior mic skills and ability to tell a story has kept him on top of the pack in NXT for several years. This, in turn, has also allowed him to become the NXT Tag Team Champion and NXT Champion.
The Blackheart had defeated The Miz on SmackDown prior to Survivor Series 2019 but has made it clear on several occasions that he doesn’t want to move to any other brand and stay in NXT.
Even though such statements and stubbornness could hurt his future chances, he is a big enough name and Superstar who could ultimately take on the reigning WWE Champion somewhere down the line while staying in NXT. Ciampa could win the top title and bring it to the Black & Gold brand in the future.
On the other hand, Triple H and others could convince him to switch brands to find some new rivalries and push his career ahead.
Ciampa is a truly great Superstar and plays a great heel, and his antics could shake up the entire landscape of WWE someday.
