#2 Tommaso Ciampa

The self-proclaimed "greatest sports entertainer of all time" stagnated somewhat following NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4, but he's back to the forefront hot off his match of the year candidate against Velveteen Dream a couple of weeks ago.
As the champ now looks ahead to the New Year, he needs to realize that the former champion, Aleister Black, is going to be waiting for him. We should all get excited about that potentiality. Johnny Gargano, in all his pitiful derangement, isn't going to go away either.

Ciampa is going to be at the epicentre of some intense angles for a long time still to come. We can rely on his ability to troll throughout his tenure to make them even hotter. It's likely indeed that he's going to get the top spot back in the next iteration of our rankings after the Royal Rumble.
