5 Superstars who could be the next NXT Champion     

#2. Pete Dunne - NXT 2.0

Pete Dunne has become an anchor for the NXT 2.0 roster. The Bruiserweight was introduced through NXT UK and had a record-breaking championship run. Upon moving to the North American version, he teamed with Riddle to win the NXT Tag Team Championships as The Broserweights. The pandemic put an end to their team before Dunne returned to the United States late last year.

Dunne has frequently been at the top of the card since his return. He headlined TakeOver: WarGames and TakeOver: Vengeance Day. He has taken Finn Balor to the limit for the NXT Championship in the past and has felt on the brink of that title victory for the past few months.

The Bruiserweight has so much going for him. He is still young at just 28 years old and just signed a new contract with WWE. Dunne is a premier in-ring worker and has greatly improved on the microphone. It feels like just a matter of time before he achieves his ultimate goal of winning the NXT Championship. It just seems like the likely next step in his evolution.

#1. Bron Breakker - NXT 2.0

It is exactly who most readers thought would be number one on this list. Since the beginning of the NXT 2.0 era, a massive spotlight has shone bright on Bron Breakker. Rick Steiner's son has been a jolt of energy. He is huge and has a powerful presence.

His extraordinary strength and unique promo style makes him a phenomenal prospect that should be in the main event of WrestleMania in the future.

Breakker almost immediately found himself in the line of fire with Tommaso Ciampa. He came up short to Ciampa at Halloween Havoc, but he has tried multiple times to insert himself back into the fold to get another title shot.

Many fans and pundits feel that the next time that Bron Breakker has a shot at the title he will walk out with the gold. He has remarkable speed, athleticism and an 'IT' factor that cannot be taught. That's why Breakker is the superstar who is most likely to be the next NXT Champion.
