Predicting the next 5 NXT Champions

Matt Riddle

WWE's latest big name signee could have a bright future

Riddle me this, who is going to beat a seasoned Lars Sullivan holding the NXT title hostage? Matt Riddle is set to debut next week on NXT, and while his first major feud is likely to be with Kassius Ohno, this is a look into the future where Matt Riddle is the biggest star in NXT.

Making a name for himself on the Independent scene, Riddle has a huge fan following and a lot of hype has surrounded his signing to NXT. When he does arrive in NXT he will need some time to adjust and develop before getting thrust into the title scene.

With an actual MMA background Riddle would be a realistic threat to the monster Lars Sullivan, and him winning the NXT Championship would put a lot of eyes on the yellow brand. So long as he stays out of trouble.
