WrestleMania 35: 5 NXT superstars who could be called up to the main roster after WrestleMania

Modified Apr 04, 2019 09:57 GMT

#1. Either Johnny Gargano or Adam Cole

A new NXT Champion will be crowned this week

When I say "either Johnny Gargano or Adam Cole" I mean the loser of the NXT Championship match this week at NXT TakeOver: New York. Both Gargano and Cole have been a part of the NXT roster for a very, very long time now and come TakeOver: New York, both men will collide against each other in a highly awaited singles match with the vacant NXT Title on the line.

The winner of the match will not only crown himself the new NXT Champion but will also officially dethrone the injured Tommaso Ciampa as the main man in NXT. However, as for the loser of the match, there could be only one direction and that direction is a call-up to the main roster.

Gargano has already competed on the main roster in recent months, teaming up with his DIY tag team partner Ciampa, before he was sidelined with an injury. As for Adam Cole, the former North American Champion has everything it takes to succeed on the main roster and more importantly, the WWE Universe will witness not one but four call-ups in Cole's expense.

If 'The Panama City Playboy' does end up on the losing side in Brooklyn, then expect The Undisputed Era to Shock The System either on Raw or SmackDown Live right after WrestleMania 35.
