Bayley was a surprise omission from the Draft

1. Finn Balor

Not only was Finn Balor the first NXT draft pick, he was also in the top 5 overall draft picks for the company – ahead of the likes of John Cena, Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton.

It really shows the faith WWE has in the former Prince Devitt. Balor has earned it as well, with the fans clamouring for his elevation to the main roster ever since he lost the NXT Championship to Samoa Joe.

Balor’s elevation was a foregone conclusion in the Draft and he seems to be the best guy to make a smooth transition to the main roster. NXT audience were in awe of his spectacular Demon entrance and his finisher – ‘The Coupe de Grace’ is not something to be taken lightly.

It also presents the possibility of a feud exploring his Bullet Club roots. WWE already published a Finn Balor DVD last year, for crying out loud.

The stage is set for the Demon to succeed.

Verdict : Hit
