From @Donners82: Who does Balor pass the NXT torch to: Breeze, Joe, Itami, Nation (Crews) or Zayn?
There are so many good performers there that that it's not something to really worry about because NXT is such a well booked show that they could build up so many people to be in that spot and it would be believable. Samoa Joe is very possible just because there may be a reluctance to use him on the main roster (even though they should), so perhaps he'll be in NXT for a while. Tyler Breeze has been there so long, so it would be nice to see him get to that top NXT spot. Apollo Crews is a guy they are really high on, which means he could get that big push very soon too. When guys like Hideo Itami and Sami Zayn get back, they could be in the mix too. In Zayn's case, he should be a full timer on the main roster that shows up to NXT once in a while. Itami could have a great feud with Balor if one of them turned heel. Out of all of them, Joe is the one that stands out the most just because of his name power. However, it will really be a team effort.
