10 Independent Stars WWE Should Sign To NXT

Triple H, get your cheque book out.

Kyle2 NXT has become a breeding ground for future WWE main event level talent. Over the past two years, WWE has developed talent that are now competing in main events all over the world. Performers like Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt, Paige and AJ Lee have all come through the NXT development system and are on their respective ways to huge, long-term careers in WWE. As talent continues to move up to the main roster, WWE must look to various outlets to refill their developmental system with up and coming talent. Not every performer that comes out of NXT will be a main event level player on the roster. There needs to be a balance. They need to develop talent for every level of the card. For every Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, there is an Adam Rose, Xavier Woods and Bo Dallas. With that being said, the following list consists of independent pro wrestlers who WWE should sign to an NXT contract. Remember, NXT means developmental. Some of the top independent stars in the world like Chris Hero, Colt Cabana and AJ Styles have been excluded on purpose because we frankly will never see any of those three in NXT developmental again. This list will give you an opportunity to check out some of these up and coming talent before they make it to the main stage. I was lucky to have watched Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn & Kevin Steen countless times at small Ring of Honor shows in the tristate area. This is your opportunity to check out some of these extraordinary talents before they make their move to the biggest sports entertainment company in the world.
