5 WWE Superstars who could win the vacant NXT Championship - Former Universal Champion to return?

#2. WALTER recently lost the WWE NXT UK Championship

WALTER has been one of the biggest forces in WWE NXT since 2019. WALTER defeated Pete Dunne to win the NXT UK Championship and held the title for over two years.

At TakeOver 36, Ilja Dragunov became the first man to defeat WALTER for his NXT UK title. The Ring General hasn’t been seen in WWE since his defeat. However, he could soon show up and set his sights on a brand new title.

WWE could look to move WALTER to NXT to build the brand’s ratings following its revamp. He could be in a match for the NXT Championship right away as he does not need to prove himself and his worth.

The Ring General could be allowed to become the new NXT Champion to surprise the fans and give them something to look forward to. His victory would allow the roster to work harder as he is one of the toughest men to beat.

NXT could build his story and reign until the return of Samoa Joe. The angle could lead to a massive dream match between The Samoan Submission Machine and The Ring General on a big stage.
