10 NXT Stars Who Could Feature In The 2015 Royal Rumble

1. Sami Zayn

If anyone has a legitimate shot at representing NXT in this Sunday€™s Royal Rumble, it is NXT Champion Sami Zayn. Giving exposure to the leader of your brand would be the absolute best possible call. The guy can€™t have a bad match either. His ability to fight from underneath to gain sympathy from the crowd is second to none in wrestling right now €“ a skill developed from years of wrestling under mask as €œThe Generic Luchador€ El Generico. A strong performance out of him at The Royal Rumble would be all but guaranteed. In a situation similar to that of Baron Corbin and Bull Dempsey, Zayn could also have his current feud with Kevin Owens built into the match. Whether both are announced as competitors or just Zayn, there could be an interaction leading to an elimination that adds another layer to their story. Either way, Philadelphia would welcome both guys with open arms. It€™s a win/win! If I had to predict any single NXT Superstar€™s inclusion in the 2015 Royal Rumble, I have to say€ I like Sami Zayn.
