10 WWE NXT Matches We Absolutely Must See Right Now
4. Solomon Crowe v. Dean Ambrose
Though he has yet to debut on NXT television, Solomon Crowe's TV debut is likely hotly anticipated by fervent wrestling fans worldwide. Once known as Sami Callihan, Crowe's now in NXT and appearing on house shows with a an "evil cyber hacker" gimmick. Though it's not certain if the "evil cyber hacker" concept will be met with the same response as CJ Parker's "evil ecological advocate," there's one potential saving grace that could occur to give him an in-ring boost in WWE. When known as Jon Moxley, Dean Ambrose had a plethora of tremendous matches both teamed with and pitted against Solomon Crowe. Thus, Crowe debuting with some strong-worded promos and victories over enhancement talent only to call out Ambrose for a major NXT event makes sense. The two wrestlers have an established history, and in being able to get the most out of each other in-ring, the match would go far in legitimizing Crowe's talent to the WWE Universe.
