5 Stars who could win the rumored NXT UK European Championship

#4 Alexander Wolfe

Alexander Wolfe

When you look back at the Triple H-led Evolution stable, their peak was hit in late 2003. It was at this point where each of the four members held championships. The Game held the World Heavyweight Title, Randy Orton was Intercontinental Champion and Ric Flair and Batista reigned supreme over the tag division.

Imperium is arguably NXT UK’s most dominant faction, led by UK Champion WALTER. If Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel are primed for a tag title shot, it would only be natural that the fourth man goes for the brand’s newest piece of gold.

Wolfe has main roster exposure through his run with Sanity. He’s also a talented worker who's yet to show his full potential in WWE. A run as European Champion would allow him to do just that.

#3 Joe Coffey

Joe Coffey

Speaking of stables, the other major group in NXT UK is Gallus. In their de facto leader Joe Coffey, they have a man who came within a whisker of dethroning Pete Dunne at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool.

In fact, Coffey's body of work in the last year has been some of his best in a long time. This coming from a man who defeated Kurt Angle in one of his final non-WWE matches.

Despite an impressive recent win over Dave Mastiff, it’s too soon for Joe to challenge for the main gold just now. NXT UK already has one Scottish Champion in Kay Lee Ray. A second would surely ensure that it’s not just an English and European dominated brand.

Plus, it can give Joe and Mastiff something to battle over if their feud was to continue.
