5 NXT stars who could be heading to WWE's main roster

#2. NXT Cruiserweight Champion Roderick Strong

Roderick Strong made his debut in October 2016 as part of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic together with Austin Aries. Strong and Aries defeated Otis and Tucker Knight to proceed to the quarter-finals but were then eliminated by TM61 Nick Miller and Shane Thorne.

Roderick Strong's NXT career reached new heights when he became part of the heel faction known as the Undisputed Era. Together with stablemate Kyle O'Reilly, he became a two-time Tag Team Champion. Individually, he also won the NXT North American Championship.

Strong is currently the leader of up-and-coming stable Diamond Mine and is the reigning NXT Cruiserweight Champion. The multi-time champion is one of the best in-ring workers the company has to offer and it is time for him to move to the main roster.

#1. Breakout NXT 2.0 star Solo Sikoa

Second generation star Solo Sikoa is a member of Anoa'i wrestling family. He is one of the cousins of current WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns. He is also the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, which makes him The Usos' younger brother.

Sikoa won his debut match against Jeet Rama courtesy of a signature Uso splash. Given the lineage the young superstar comes from, and the fact that he looks tailor-made for the modern WWE product, it may be sooner rather than later that we see him on the main roster.
