Top 5 NXT Stars Who Can Replace Bobby Roode As The NXT Champion

The trend of NXT right now is someone carrying the NXT title on his shoulder, someone challenges him, wins the title, and the former the champion joins the main roster. It is happening since quite a long time.

As Bobby Roode is carrying the title right now, who is up to challenge him for the title? And the biggest question is, who are the best options to replace him as the next NXT champion?

Here are the five NXT wrestlers who can replace Bobby Roode as the NXT champion. These wrestlers can lead NXT as a future NXT champion too if not next;

1 – Eric Young

The leader of Sanity, a former TNA World Heavyweight champion is a serious deal for the NXT championship. Eric Young and Bobby Roode have given some great performances back in their TNA days, fans would be delighted to see them wrestling again in WWE.

If Eric Young becomes the NXT champion, it will be a great boost for his stable too. We do not see things like some stable leader winning a world championship very often these days in WWE.

WWE is lacking stable based wrestling badly nowadays. So Eric Young winning the title would be a great idea.

2 – Kassius Ohno –

Kassius Ohno had a match with Bobby Roode for the NXT championship two weeks ago at NXT, but he failed to win.

He is currently involved in a feud with Sanity. But we would be delighted to see him feuding with Roode again.

Kassius Ohno winning the NXT championship will definitely be a good choice. He had a great time on the independent circuit under the name of Chris Hero.

Having him as the NXT champion will be a good boost for the title of course.

3 – Aleister Black –

One of the newest members of the NXT roster; Aleister Black joined NXT at the NXT Takeover Orlando.

He made an instant impact by beating Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas.

Black is carrying a cool dark gimmick. It is pretty interesting and can be a good deal if used well. Aleister Black aka Tommy End had an excellent career on the Independent Circuit.

It would be pretty nice to see him carrying his legacy through the NXT championship.

4 – Elias Samson – 

Elias Samson is being treated mid card jobber in the NXT. But it is not really fair for someone like him. Samson is a really talented athlete. He deserves a better treatment.

Samson lost to Kassius Ohno in a ‘Loser Lives NXT’ match. We all thought he might be up on his way towards the main roster. But after he came out under a mask last week, it is pretty clear he will stay in the NXT for quite a while.

Last week, Samson wore a mask, carried his signature guitar in his hand and came out to the arena under the new name; El Vagabundo.

Even though he lost to Oney Lorcan and been revealed by his real face, his tremendous act was really loved by the fans. He showed that he is too good to be a jobber or even a mid-card.

So pushing Samson for the NXT championship would be a great choice.

5 – Drew McIntyre –

Drew McIntyre made his WWE return at the NXT Takeover Orlando. He was among the crowds. This week on NXT, it has been announced that Drew will be in action next week.

It is already been leaked that he faced Oney Lorcan upon his return. And he is also carrying a new entrance theme. It will be telecasted next on NXT.

Drew McIntyre is possibly the one to challenge Bobby Roode for the NXT championship next. It is also been speculated by the NXT commentators.

Having Drew McIntyre as the next NXT champion will definitely be a great choice and Bobby Roode vs. Drew McIntyre can be an excellent feud as well.
