#5 Finn Balor
Last year, Finn Balor shocked the entire world with his return to NXT and his eventual heel turn. In the weeks that followed, Balor made it clear that he is back to being ‘The Prince’ – a gimmick that he used in the early days of his career.
His turn was backed well by his demeanor in the Black and Gold brand and this saw him get more and more brutal and unpredictable with each passing week.
While some may argue that Balor is doing pretty well even without a title on his shoulder, I believe that he needs to get his hands on gold to remind the WWE Universe of his time as the NXT Champion back when he ruled the Black and Gold brand.
Most probably, we will see him feuding with Tommaso Ciampa, Adam Cole, or Johnny Gargano, and all those matches have the potential to be absolute blockbusters.
Having said that, I think that if the WWE creatives do decide to have Balor win the most coveted prize in NXT, they must do it towards the end of 2020. It will help create a good build-up and will allow WWE to extend one of his title feuds until the TakeOver before next year’s WrestleMania.
Maybe that title reign will do more than enough to remind the WWE bosses that he needs to come back and hunt for the Universal Championship – a title that has been waiting for him for a really long time.
