9 NXT Stars That Would Make A Huge Impact On WWE's Main Roster

8. Baron Corbin

Fans are kind of split on whether they like Baron Corbin or not, but one thing you can€™t deny is that he€™s an interesting character. It€™s hard to judge a talent based on endless squash matches alone, but his entrance and persona are definitely enough to catch your eye. And that End of Days finisher may just be another variation on the Sister Abigail or Little Jimmy, but the strength of Corbin certainly adds a hint of versatility to it. A tall, powerful guy with a hint of mystery in his character is something that has been very popular in WWE in the past, so Baron Corbin wouldn€™t have much of a problem fitting in on Raw or Smackdown. When he is brought in, expect him to carry over the squash match gimmick where he walks to the ring, nails the End of Days and finishes his opponent in less than ten seconds. After this, a rivalry between Corbin and Ryback, who had basically the same re-introduction to the fans three years ago, would be an intriguing one. Corbin may not be have a rich background in pro wrestling, with NXT being his very first stop after a stint with the NFL and experience with other sports, but he€™s doing something right. He has a great look for one thing, and it€™s one that will most definitely translate well to the main roster.
