10 WWE NXT Wrestlers Who Should Go To Raw Or SmackDown Next
6. Tommaso Ciampa
As much as it pains me to say this...Tommaso Ciampa's days as an in-ring talent may very well be numbered, and it would be heartbreaking if he had to hang the boots up before having a proper shot at main roster glory.
Over the past several years, Ciampa has embarked on one of the most admirable career renaissances ever seen in WWE. He went from babyface tag team wrestler, to the most hated heel in the company, to NXT Champion in just a year's time. Unfortunately for Ciampa, his time on top would be cut short by an untimely (and rather serious) neck injury, which forced him to relinquish his title in early 2019.
Thankfully, he returned later that year to one of the loudest pops I've ever heard on NXT programming. But alas, he hasn't had any key victories since returning to action, which leaves me to wonder whether there's anything left for him in NXT.
Right now, though he's a top babyface in NXT, he needs to reestablish himself on another brand following his quick loss to Karrion Kross at NXT TakeOver: In Your House. And given his recent Twitter spat with Randy Orton, perhaps he knows it's time for him to move on as well. So, WWE, if you're reading this - call Tommaso Ciampa up while you still can.
