#2 Bronson Reed

Of all the former independent stars in the tournament, Bronson Reed was the least known by the Full Sail crowd, but after just one match in the tournament, it's clear that they're ready to get behind him. The King of Monsters is very intimidating, yet agile for his size, and given his ability within the ring and his likability, he's a main event player of the future on the Black and Gold brand.
The former Jonah Rock is looking to bring his brand of 'Australian Strong Style' to NXT, and if the impressive victory over Dexter Lumis doesn't make you excited, you're watching NXT wrong. Reed is a very marketable performer too, capable of working several different styles inside the NXT ring, and even though he came up short of the Finals for the Breakout Tournament, he'll have the entire NXT Universe putting their 'claws up' with him forebears to come.
