9. NXT Title

NXT Vengeance Day 2023 Bron Breakker

Champion: Bron Breakker

Who Should Beat Him: Carmelo Hayes

This seems like a certainty.

Bron Breakker is surely one of the names on Shawn Michaels' lips when he's feeding his old pal Triple H recommendations for Raw/SmackDown promotion. Rick Steiner's lad has reigned supreme on NXT for long enough now, and it's starting to get just a little stale.

Carmelo Hayes is the future of NXT, then the same thing will happen to him before he moves up to the main roster. The pair's staredown at the end of Vengeance Day, and HBK talking about potential post-WrestleMania call-ups in the media, suggests that a title switch is coming soon-ish.
