#2 Dexter Lumis could come after Johnny Gargano on WWE NXT

Just like Bronson Reed, Dexter Lumis too had a phenomenal 2020 where he overcame many top NXT Superstars. While fans will mainly remember his long rivalry against Cameron Grimes, the WWE NXT Superstar also had some good matches against Adam Cole and Roderick Strong.

Grimes has already proven himself to be a good entertainer, and he could have won the NXT North American Championship in the Ladder Match had he not suffered an injury. Keeping in mind how much he has evolved in the ring over the months, he could be a good challenger for the NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

While Lumis was essentially unproven in WWE NXT when he first started, his match against Grimes at NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2020 really showed off his skills as a wrestler. Lumis’ overall gimmick could work perfectly with a comic heel like Gargano, who could rely on his faction, The Way, to earn some victories.

Gargano is one of the finest in-ring performers in WWE today, and a rivalry against him will help Lumis gain a lot more experience that could make him a top future Champion.
