8 NXT Wrestlers Too Good To Fail On WWE's Main Roster

'The EST of NXT' is far from the finished article. Barely two years into her wrestling education, her ring work, in particular, has a long way to go before reaching the level of sheen and polish needed for Raw or SmackDown. She's still building the skills required to hold a match together and keep things compelling without relying on big spots and character work. These aspects of her performance will come with time though, and focusing on her occasional moments of greenness is almost pointless, because Belair has several traits that can't be taught.

Carrying herself like the biggest star in the room, Belair swaggers down to the ring like prime heel Sasha Banks, commanding the audience's attention from the moment her music hits. She knows how to keep them in the palm of her hand from bell-to-bell, too. Everything from her signature hair whip to that torture rack/facebuster finisher is designed for pops, and her act is coming together nicely.

Her inevitable big TakeOver feuds and NXT Women's Title reign are going to be fantastic. By that point, Belair should be utterly Vince-proof.
