Which "Big Belt" wrestling champion had the best summer of 2018?

<p>

#4 Tommaso Ciampa: NXT Champion (NXT brand.)

<p>

The Sicilian Psychopath is perhaps WWE's most compelling heel wrestler today. His feud with Gargano has put him on the wrestling map due to their insane performances.

Ciampa's grades:

Dominance: Ciampa won the belt midsummer from Aleistair Black, and has defended it five times--above and beyond the 30 day requirement. Grade: A+

Contenders: Ciampa has defeated Velveteen Dream, EC3, Black, and Gargano to retain his gold. Grade: A+

Talent: Ciampa has been nominated for match of the year twice just in 2018, and his technical game is second to none save, perhaps, Gargano. Grade: A+

Popularity/Marketability: Ciampa is quite over with the NXT Universe, and wrestling fandom in general. However, he is not well known outside of wrestling. Grade: B

Overall Grade: A+ Ciampa's dominance, top tier performances against worthy talent, and popularity with the wrestling fan shove him into the stratosphere.
