#1. Velveteen Dream
Current Finisher: Purple Rainmaker
Velveteen Dream is one of the fastest growing performers in NXT today and the ever increasing reaction of the audience towards him suggests that he is one of the most over performers of the brand.

While Dream has had excellent matches with the likes of Aleister Black and Johnny Gargano, the one thing that has disappointed me is his Purple Rainmaker (diving elbow drop) finisher. Although there is nothing wrong with the way he executes the move (it is in fact quite impressive), there is always a question that lingers every time he hits the move - is it good enough to beat the top stars on the main roster? More often than not, the answer to that question is negative.
New Finisher: Swinging Reverse STO transitioned into DDT
The reverse STO transitioned into a DDT is the most jaw-dropping move in Velveteen Dream's armament and guarantees a pop from the crowd every time he uses it. Moreover, it looks way more impressive than a diving elbow drop.
Velveteen Dream has 'Future megastar' written all over him. But, the only thing missing is a finisher lethal enough to topple all the superstars standing in his way. But, maybe what he needs is already there in his bag of manoeuvres.
