Unlike other wrestlers on this list, who wont make it to the main roster because theyre lacking a certain attribute, Finn Balor is here because he has everything that Triple H wants in a star, and as such, should become the ace of NXT. With Vince planning on making NXT a touring brand like RAW and SmackDown, it stands to reason to have someone around whom you can build that brand. The main shows have Superstars like Cena, Rollins, and many others, while NXTs star power is fading because of injuries and an influx of NXT stars going to the main shows. Because of that, if theres any NXT wrestler who should stay in NXT, it should be Balor. Just as well, Balors role as the small-yet-energetic high-flyer has been taken by Neville. If Balor were to debut on the main roster, he wouldnt have anything separating him from Neville with the exception of his Demon Balor image, but that would only be saved for special occasions. Balor is arguably the most popular wrestler on NXT and can easily draw in a crowd with his appearance and matches. However, Balor shines in longer, more technical matches that are built around Triple Hs vision, and thats not something thats likely to be seen on Vinces RAW anytime soon. Because of that, Balor will stay in NXT as Triple Hs ace, the guy around whom the brand will grow and compete with the main roster. What do you think? Is there someone else in NXT right now who will never make it to the main roster? Let us know in the comments section below.
