6. Alex Kane

Explosive, powerful wrestlers get over everywhere, and with the likes of Bron Breakker and The Creed Brothers standing amongst NXT 2.0's brightest lights at the moment, it's clear that this style is something WWE developmental crowds engage with and enjoy.

Alex Kane is a compact powerhouse at 5'11", 238lbs, and still only three years into his career. He is a performer beyond his years, however, and having already established himself amongst the most exciting up-and-coming stars on the rebuilding independent circuit, it can't be long before the big boys start taking note. It'd be a surprise if he wasn't included on the next AEW Dark: Elevation taping to roll through his native Georgia.

He would do well in either promotion, Kane. Trained by indie wrestling legend AR Fox, he calls himself 'The Suplex Assassin' and, like many others on this list, would likely benefit from a few more years touring wrestling's smaller stages. His potential is big-league, though, and Performance Center crowds would be into him immediately.
