10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Feb 9)
4. Who Will Be NXT's Breakout Star Of 2017?
This one's tricky, as NXT is looking a little sparse as of late. Once the next batch of main roster call-ups are sent to Raw and SmackDown, it's hard to see where the brand's future leading lights will come from. However, a pretty safe bet in my view is DIY - or, more accurately, Gargano and Ciampa individually.
The pair are surely destined for a break up at some point, and as amazing a tag team as they are, they're more than capable of proving themselves as singles competitors. If such a break were to occur in NXT, we'd immediately have a programme with Match of the Year potential (without getting swamped by the cluttered main roster).
Also, Roderick Strong has immense experience and pedigree, and you get the sense that he just knows what he's doing - even if he hasn't been given the juiciest storylines quite yet. Andrade Almas also seems to be turning a corner, despite a slow start to NXT life.
Elsewhere, I think the brand's other big potential breakout star lies in the women's division - and we'll talk about her a little more now...
