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

#1 Big E (Will)

He has all the tools.

Big E is probably the most surprising name on the list, but he shouldn't be. He is currently one-half (or one-third) of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions and is having the time of his life with his brothers in the New Day. However, one must not forget the talent and charisma he possesses. When he burst onto the WWE scene in late 2012, it seemed like a guarantee that Big E (Langston) would become a world champion one day.

Despite some roadblocks along the way, the muscle of the New Day is at his best today. He constantly puts on excellent tag team matches, which would certainly translate to singles success for a charismatic big man like him. WWE somewhat flirted with the idea of having Big E in the main event scene on this past Raw, as he was part of the number one contender's Battle Royal for the Universal Championship.

He certainly has the look, the personality and the in-ring skills to become a fabulous WWE Champion. And hey, it's not like being in the New Day would stop him from being the Guy. Take a look at the current champion for reference.

How many of these forme NXT Champions will become WWE or Universal Champion some day?
