10 Dream Opponents For Damian Priest's NXT North American Title Reign

10. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott

Isaiah “Swerve” Scott has been one of the most prominent members of the Cruiserweight division in the past few months, having a strong but badly-promoted feud with champion Santos Escobar.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the Cruiserweight division rarely gets a lot of time on NXT TV, Scott hasn’t been able to showcase his talents regularly. While he‘s had some good six-man tags with Breezango against Legado Del Fantasma and impressed in a singles match with Johnny Gargano, he hasn’t been pushed in the way that someone with his talents should be. He has outstanding agility, diverse offence and utter smoothness in the ring, and deserves the opportunity to showcase his vital skills in a major headlining match.

Having him face the North American Champion Damian Priest would fix that issue and would lend him the chance to finally break out as a big deal in WWE that he really needs. He would sell Priest’s offence like no one else on the roster and could easily convince audiences of a potential upset. It would give Priest an engaging title defence and elevate both men in the process.
