10 Wrestlers Who Could Win Their First World Championship In 2020

NXT’s King of Bros is what might happen if one fused The Dude with Filthy Tom Lawlor and filled him with hatred for ageing WCW stars. A hard hitting but humorous character, Riddle has quickly established a connection with the NXT crowds and picked up a surprise pinfall on Randy Orton at this year’s Survivor Series.

Booked strong week to week, Riddle has curiously lost all of his title challenges thus far. Perhaps the intention is to build up anticipation for when Papa Haitch finally pulls the trigger on his resident MMA guy.

Alternatively, they may not bother at all in NXT if rumblings of a main roster debut in the new year prove true, in which case Riddle would be a natural foil for WWE champ Brock Lesnar (Riddle’s number one dream opponent incidentally).

Provided Riddle behaves a tad better on social media moving forward and steers clear of those funny cigarettes he so loves, 2020 seems a likely time for him to ascend one of WWE’s three mounts. NXT is in need of newer faces at the top of the card in 2020 having been dominated by the DIY boys and The Undisputed Era for the past two years now and Riddle could be the one for the job.
