Who should become the first NXT North American Champion?

#3 Velveteen Dream

Will WWE put their faith in the young star?

Why he should win: Velveteen has been a standout in WWE's developmental for some time now and so finally rewarding him with a title makes a degree of sense. He is a great advert for NXT and having him as a champion on the brand could lead to us seeing a different side to his character.

Why he should not: One of the aspects of Dream's character that is so compelling is his role as the plucky upstart. He is young and talented, and I feel a part of his appeal is seeing him try and earn respect and make a name for himself. While it's true that if he won we could see a different side to Dream that would likely be very good, I think he is more compelling as a challenger and so he is not my ideal choice for champion at this time.
