Ranking Every Second Generation Wrestler In NXT

7. Cal Bloom

Cal Bloom made an unexpected appearance on a September episode of SmackDown, getting his head kicked off by a resurgent Sheamus. It wasn't much of a showcase, but the quick match was enough to impress Vince McMahon, who is reportedly high on the 26-year-old son of former WWE tag team wrestler Wayne Bloom.

The 6'5", 255-pound bruiser was trained by his father, who went by the name Beau Beverly in his short-lived days in WWF in the 1990s. Bloom was recruited in March 2019 after finishing up his football career at University of Central Florida. He's still a raw prospect, with a punishing style that befits his stature, but he has an explosiveness that, if harnessed correctly, could make him into a true phenom.

If this list was based on potential alone, Bloom would certainly rank higher, but that 1:43 he lasted with Sheamus is about all we've seen so far. Some regular reps in NXT's Wednesday night lineup could go a long way in showing the world what McMahon sees in the Minnesota-born second-gen wrestler.
