10 Wrestlers Who Could Win Their First World Title In 2022

WWE is about to get "Steinerized"!

The NXT Championship absolutely counts for this list, and that's why Bron Breakker is here. He's about to become the top star on Vince's reimagined 2.0 brand, and there's nothing anybody can do about it. The WWE boss clearly views Bron as NXT's long-term solution, not Tommaso Ciampa.

So, don't be surprised if Breakker wins the NXT Title in early-2022 and dominates the show Roman Reigns-on-SmackDown style all year long. Then, once Bron is a little more seasoned, he can hopefully make the leap to Raw or SmackDown and avoid the crummy booking trap so many ex-NXT stars have fallen into.

A heel turn also makes sense. Bron already has some of the same swaggering confidence that his uncle Scott did back in the WCW days; if he can match that bluster with in-ring development, then WWE could have one hell of a worker on their hands.

The NXT summit awaits you, Mr. Breakker.
