It's been quite a while now since we've seen an NXT star move to RAW or Smackdown and dominate the brand.

The basic idea of establishing NXT was to create Superstars for the future, so that WWE can become exciting.

However that doesn't really work here.There are so many talented Superstars backstage who should be main eventing PPV's but end up getting lost in the shuffle.

Nevertheless, there are still some bright talents in the NXT brand currently who can still dominate WWE once they make their main roster debut. So, here are 3 Superstars that will do great on the main roster no matter what.


#3 Adam Cole

Adam Cole is probably one of the most talented Superstars in the entire NXT roster. Adam Cole has been one of the biggest names on the Indies before arriving in WWE. Ever since Cole made his debut on the NXT brand, he has been phenomenal along with The Undisputed Era.

Some people may argue on the fact that the Panama City Playboy is not as popular as AJ Styles, but he definitely has the talent and potential. Adam Cole can start his main roster career with a high-profile feud.

Apart from exceptional in-ring talent, Cole has great mic skills as well. So, it's safe to say that The Leader Of The Undisputed Era has enough talent to breakthrough and cement his place as a top Superstar on the main roster.

#2 Matt Riddle

Matt Riddle has taken NXT by storm. With a good MMA background and great wrestling ability, he is an athlete who is tailor-made to achieve great success on the main roster.

Well, the way things have been going lately on the main roster, it's not safe to say that any NXT star can become an overnight success. But if you have got the talent and persona like Matt Riddle, you just might.

The King Of Bros has done well enough in NXT ever since making his debut, which is a good thing.

He is still a fresh talent in NXT, so don't expect to see him on the main roster before WrestleMania 36. Riddle needs to stay down in NXT as there still some work that needs to be done when it comes to his mic skills.

The career graph of Riddle seems to be going in the right direction and it won't be a surprise if he ends up being the NXT Champion one day.

#1 Shayna Baszler

The Queen of Spades may not be the most charming Superstar in NXT, but she knows her role and does it with perfection.

Everything Baszler has done since her debut has been phenomenal.

WWE will have no problem in making Baszler go straight after someone like Becky Lynch or Charlotte.

Shayna Baszler has been the most prominent star of the NXT Women's division for quite some time now. She has improved drastically as a wrestler, especially since the Mae Young Classic in 2017.

Baszler is part of the Four Horsewomen, so, we can expect her to be in some top feuds with the likes of Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Bayley and Sasha Banks.

RAW and SmackDown Live have been dominated by Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair since the brand split and if there's anyone powerful enough to challenge them, it's Shayna Baszler.
