Who should become the first NXT North American Champion?

#2 EC3

EC3 is hoping for better things having been overlooked during his first stint in NXT as Derrick Bateman

Why he should win: WWE did a good job of creating a bit of a story for EC3 in his segment that opened NXT last week. EC3 came down to the ring and expected the title to be awarded to him by William Regal, who announced he would have to win it in this match. As we've seen in Impact Wrestling, EC3 is a brilliant, arrogant heel who loves to remind every one of his superiority. What better way for him to do this than with the gold over his shoulder?

Why he should not: As with Ricochet, EC3 is still very new to the product. Having only appeared on the product on last week's NXT (excluding his previous run in the company as Derrick Bateman), it would be pretty surprising to see him win gold so fast. While his character would excel in the champion role, I just don't see WWE awarding the title to someone who has done little to prove himself to the NXT fans.
