#1 Universal Championship success

Over the past few years, NXT has been a feeder to the main roster and the stats obviously don't lie. The Universal Championship has only been in circulation for two years but already 60% of the Champions are former NXT superstars, whilst 40% of these former Champions are former NXT Champions as well.

The only stars who have held the title that wasn't in NXT are Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, whilst Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, and Roman Reigns all once had stints on WWE's developmental brand.
