Every Champion In WWE (And Who Should Beat Them)

18. NXT Cruiserweight Title

Roman Reigns Big E
WWE

Champion: Kushida

Who Should Beat Him: Roderick Strong

Kushida's recent issues with Roddy Strong's 'Diamond Mine' group are a dream come true for anybody who wants to see the reigning NXT Cruiserweight Champ mix it with more veterans. Strong fits that bill, and WWE must know by now that he's capable of getting a good match out of anybody.

Come bell time, it's Strong who should come out on top.

That title just feels like it belongs over the shoulder of a heel. Santos Escobar was cracking in the role, and Roderick (now his own man post-Undisputed Era and backed by his own minions) could be the right follow-up to supplant place-holding temp Kushida.
