10 Bold WWE Predictions Before 2024 Ends

10. Ricky Starks Becomes NXT Champion

Guessing who's about to jump between companies is part of the fun when it comes to being a pro wrestling fan. Who saw Ethan Page leaping from AEW to WWE in May and becoming NXT Champion at the turn of the year? Did anyone think Jade Cargill would make the move so soon into her career? To quote Goldberg, who's next?

Slicky Ricky, that's who.

Starks' AEW future remains a mystery to all but a few, but he does seem destined to wave goodbye to Tony Khan and say hello to Shawn Michaels and Triple H. If so, then Ricky will make a huge impact on the NXT scene. He's talented, and there's so much more to come from him than fans saw on Dynamite, Rampage or Collision.

This fan wouldn't be too shocked if WWE liked Ricky so much they put the NXT Title on him within weeks of his debut. That's not impossible, because they did the same with Page. How does Halloween Havoc sound for a debut, if contractually possible? That whole side of things is part of the mystery, admittedly.
