10 WWE Superstars who desperately need a title run in 2020

#2 Tommaso Ciampa

Ciampa deserves to win back his beloved 'goldie'

In March 2019, Tommaso Ciampa sustained an unfortunate neck injury to force him to relinquish the NXT Championship. Seven months later, he returned to the Black and Gold brand and saw his ‘goldie’ wrapped around Adam Cole. The two have been feuding ever since, but Ciampa also had to face a few unexpected betrayals along the way.

First Finn Balor and then Johnny Gargano - The Blackheart had enough distractions along the way. However, all these short feuds contributed significantly to establishing him as the biggest babyface on NXT. He is bound to be the one who takes away the NXT Championship from Adam Cole, and it should happen this year.

The leader of the Undisputed Era is already the longest-reigning NXT Champion in history, and some might say that he is also the greatest one, considering the fact that he is the only title-holder to have defended NXT’s most coveted prize across all the three brands.

But just like everything good, Cole’s Championship reign must eventually come to an end, and Ciampa should be the one to script that epilogue, which is sure to be poetic in nature.
