5. Baron Corbin
A former offensive lineman for the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals, Baron Corbin is an intimidating presence in NXT. He was squashing guys left and right both as a heel and face, and if you want an indicator as to Corbin's future, consider that he was one of the first NXT talents to have his merch featured in the WWE shop. He has feuded with the likes of Rhyno, and broke the undefeated streak of Bull Dempsey. At thirty, Corbin is another case of a guy being right in his prime, and having spent nearly two years in NXT, the time seems right to move him up to the main roster. The big question may wind up being his ability to work longer matches: to date, his longest has been against Rhyno, at just over seven minutes.
