5-to-shine: Predicting the next 5 NXT Superstars to move up to the main roster

#3 Ricochet

Ricochet made his NXT debut as quite possibly one of the most hyped and anticipated free agents to ever sign a WWE contract. While he had been on WWE's radar for quite some time, there was still that doubt looming which suggested that Ricochet may very well be content as he was, which was a top-tier independent star.

Thankfully, Ricochet made his way to the table and signed his WWE contract. Once he made his in-ring debut, it appeared as if he was at home in NXT and that he had never missed a beat.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Ricochet is a 5-star caliber athlete who performs consistently at the very top. It is important that WWE officials do whatever they can, within means, to keep this guy happy as a WWE Superstar.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
