BO DALLAS
Some readers might be surprised to see this name on this list. However, I'd challenge you to think back to his time in NXT. Bo Dallas remains one of the greatest champions in NXT's young history. During his time with the yellow brand, Bo defeated everyone who was someone and anything else that stepped between the ropes to face him.
Since arriving on the main roster, Bo has experienced what some are beginning to call the "NXT curse." It's happening time and time again with talents arriving from NXT. They are dominating at Full Sail, but hitting a brick wall upon their arrival onto the big stage. For instance, not just Dallas, but The Ascension and even Tyler Breeze.

While Breeze was a number one contender in NXT and on course to be the next champ, The Ascension became the longest reigning tag team champions in NXT history, at 364 days of dominance with the straps. But now what?
With Bo Dallas, now that the circus that was Social Outcasts has come and gone, it's time to hopefully give Bo a better shot, with some better creative management. The slate is clean for Dallas, he was taken as the 50th pick in the draft, to Raw, so let the changes begin. One obvious change is the finisher. Bo currently uses what he calls the "Bo-Dog." The Bo-Dog is simply a springboard bulldog.
Dallas comes from wresting royalty, as his grandfather, Blackjack Mulligan was the patriarch of the Windham/Rotunda family and his finisher was the claw. Bo used to wear the black glove, as a tribute to his grandfather. One idea would be to have Bo start wearing the glove once again and not only that, but let him give it a shot and go with the claw as a new finisher. It's nothing spectacular, but it's a fitting tribute and a credible maneuver.
