#2 Drew McIntyre
The big Scottish native had to effectively give up his title to Almas back at TakeOver: WarGames and so will be on the warpath once he returns to regain his title. If Almas still has the title by this point, it will be a fitting return to the ring for Drew, however, if Gargano or Black have the title by this point, it could set the stage for a heel turn if Drew eventually does beat either of the two popular superstars. His return to NXT, however, may hinge on if the original plan was to have him on the main roster by now, so may become surplus to requirements in NXT itself.
