5 NXT Stars who can win the WWE Championship in the future

#2 Aleister Black

Black is a former NXT Champion.

Aleister Black's reign as NXT Champion was certainly much shorter than most people would have expected but that does not mean that he was a failure as champion. Instead, it can be seen as a tactic from the NXT think-tank to add Black to the red-hot Ciampa vs Gargano feud. It is for this reason that Gargano was so heavily involved when Black ended up losing the title to Ciampa.

He is surely going to go after Gargano upon returning from his groin injury and we can be sure that the two men will put on some extraordinary matches. Gargano might even turn out to be the man who injured Black in the first place, in order to take his spot against Ciampa at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.

Black's style in the ring certainly stands out from the rest because of how legitimately painful it looks. Coming from the Netherlands, a country known for its kick boxers, Black's kicks just look vicious. His gimmick is also really cool as he acts as the silent assassin who just likes to let his actions talk for him.

Black might be very soon called up to the main roster because he just has the look that WWE likes. But unfortunately, his gimmick might not work on the main roster. Baron Corbin used to have a similar gimmick while in NXT but we all saw how it fell flat when he made it to WWE television. Let's just hope it is different with Black.
