5 Future World Champions on the Current NXT Roster

#1 Karrion Kross

WWE may have found its next big thing in Karrion Kross and the company is making sure he succeeds on NXT first. The former Impact Wrestling star has the built of a Champion. Add his mysterious persona to the mix and you have a bonafide Superstar. And don’t forget Scarlett, his real-life girlfriend/on-screen manager, who fits perfectly with his character.

Kross made his NXT debut earlier this year by attacking former NXT Champion, Tommaso Ciampa. He went on to defeat Ciampa at NXT TakeOver: In Your House in a very dominant fashion. It was the perfect way for WWE to introduce Kross as one of the biggest NXT stars in the past four years.

The 34-year-old has only been in NXT for a few months and he’s already set to feud with Keith Lee for the NXT Championship. Don’t be surprised if Kross wins the title from Lee as well as gets promoted to the main roster later this year. Kross might be the next big Superstar that WWE has been looking for.
