3 former NXT Champions who will win a WWE world title and 2 whose time has passed

#3 Andrade (Will)

He is an absolute star.

Andrade's upward trajectory in NXT was brilliant, starting os a cocky babyface who was not accepted by fans before he moulded into the skilled genius who became NXT Champion. Alongside Zelina Vega, he became one of the hottest acts in the entire company. Andrade has been on the WWE main roster for a little over a year and while it hasn't always been smooth, there is clearly a lot of scope for the Mexican to become a huge star in the company.

Andrade had a couple of classic clashes against Rey Mysterio on SmackDown in January, even picking up a stunning win. His willingness to learn English will also come in handy, as WWE will be looking for a new Latino face for the company. Nobody has been able to replace Mysterio in that role, but Andrade looks like the man to do that. He is certainly an upgrade over Alberto Del Rio, who won four world titles in WWE.

Andrade's talent in the ring is among the very best in the industry and the entire act with Vega has raised his stock immensely, ever since his days at Full Sail.
