#2 WWE Hall of Famer Edge has praised Finn Balor, Keith Lee, The Velveteen Dream, and Adam Cole
WWE Hall of Famer Edge’s wife Beth Pheonix is one of the finest commentators on WWE NXT. This pushes the legend to tune into NXT every Wednesday and watch what goes down on the Black and Gold Brand.
Since his return to the ring, Edge has been very vocal about which Superstars he sees as the future of WWE. Speaking during a WWE telephone conference call, Edge revealed some NXT stars who he thinks are extremely good in the ring.
“To me, 'the guy' who is dialed in and completely found what it is that he's supposed to do is Finn Balor. It's exciting to watch him right now. To me, he and Gargano set the template for what an NXT match should be going forward. You got your workhorses like Adam Cole who's just out there week-in, week-out, night after night in the grind and you just got to tip your hat to that guy.
"Keith Lee is so impressive - I'd love to be able to get in the ring with that guy and just show him exactly what he is and how he can be. Velveteen Dream to me is just this raw, completely natural character - he has just found his character and that's so exciting to watch. It's not just all about moves, about 84 superkicks. He has tapped into his character and it's really fun to watch and to see where he takes that - the future is good.”
While Edge seems to have a close relationship with Tommaso Ciampa, he believes Finn Balor, Keith Lee, The Velveteen Dream, and Adam Cole are the top guys on the brand.
The Rated-R Superstar has always kept an eye out and praised those who he believes are hard workers. This has given fans a cool perspective of what a WWE legend thinks about their favorite budding stars.
