5 Current NXT Superstars That Will Be WWE Or Universal Champion In The Future

#3 Ricochet

Ricochet

Ricochet built incredible hype around his name after a decade on the independent scene, and after a year in NXT, he's built on that and made himself into an even bigger star. On the indies, he was known for non-stop flips and exciting matches, but in NXT, he's channeled that into great character work, and figured out that sometimes in wrestling, 'less is more'.

He doesn't flip as much anymore, so when he does it, the crowd is even more stunned, and it's worked brilliantly, as he's become one of the yellow brand's top stars.

When Ricochet arrived in WWE, The Rock dubbed him a 'future World Champion', and with his chiseled abs and good looks, it's easy to see why.

He may be on the smaller side, but once Vince McMahon sees the crowd reactions to The One and Only and sees how marketable he is, the World Championship will be only a matter of time.
