NXT Championship - Who You Pulling For?

[Deleted]

Watching the tag match on this week's show right now, and I figured I'd ask since, as praised as NXT is around here, it doesn't seem to have many threads actively discussing it.

I'm hoping for Breeze, but I have a pretty strong feeling it's going to be Zayn to set up a one-on-one match between him and Neville. Which I'd also be good with I guess. Kind of my worst case scenario's Neville winning, I just don't find him that interesting and he doesn't really have any potential challengers left if he blows through these three other than maybe Bull Dempsey, which could be kind of disastrous.

Zayn. It's long overdue.

I like Tyson Kidd but I know that as a main roster guy, he's not gonna touch the NXT Title. They need to get Kidd away from the NXT Title and into a feud where he can go over because as long as he's chasing the belt, he looks more and more like a choke artist who can't get the job done against developmental talents.

Zayn for the matches. Breeze for his character work.

Adrian's great but his run has been underwhelming.

[Giul T.]

I think Zayn's winning because Adrian's going to be called up, that leaves 1 face and a bunch of heels on the top side.

Like outside of Adrian/Sami/Mojo I don't remember a lot of NXT men's singles faces.

[Bo Rida]

Zayn but on the condition that it doesn't lead to a heel turn, heel Sami wouldn't be right.

There's no reason he can't win the belt, it's not a case like Cesaro as he's not being used on the main roster.
They could also seem to be building to a power couple storyline with Natalya so at least one of them need gold for that to work.

Kidd being stupidly proud of a championship that should be below him would also fit his character, get heel heat for not being somebody on the way up and whoever beats him would get an extra rub.
Even if it's not Kidd I fully expect a main roster talent to win the NXT title at some point, if nothing else it'll add some jeopardy to the frequent NXT vs main roster title matches.

Neville, because it's about time Geordies had something to cheer for.

[Chiral]

As weird as it may sound, I want Kidd to win. They've been doing a nice slow build for Zayn, which I think would work better if a heel won the belt. I'm pulling for Kidd because he's a huge underdog right now. I really like all four, but Adrian's reign has been kind of eh and I'm ready for it to be over.

Breeze.
Why?
He's gorgeous.

[Instant Classic]

Looking back years down the road at NXT, it'd be a travesty to say Zayn never held the title.

What I wanted to say, far better than I could have ever said it.

[BlackoutCreature]

I'm going with Breeze because

1. He's gorgeous.
2. I get the impression the other three guys are gonna get called up to the main roster more sooner then later. I'd rather it be given to someone who can carry it for awhile and have a good reign out of it then someone who's just gonna have to drop it to someone else a few weeks later.

[Starshine]

I think Kidd's going to walk out with the title. FACT.
I think he's going to drop it to Zayn soon after. FACT.
I think this is the best scenario. FACT.

[the2ndevil]

I could see Kidd stealing a victory from Breeze, leading him to turn face. He's getting massive face pops as it is.

[Madagascar Fred]

all 3 challengers are worthy getting the strap

Zayn's overdue getting the title after so many great performances, Breeze deserves it as well and is pretty credible due to good booking (he's pretty small y'know), Kidd has put in great effort in the past months on NXT and has a nice new heel persona

ideally I'd say give Kidd the title and immediately (like 1 or 2 or 3 weeks later on NXT TV) put it on Zayn or Breeze afterwards, depending on who is getting called up to the main roster

[Deleted]

I just want Neville to drop it, I have negative interest in him. The problem is, I don't care about Kidd and I don't like Tyler Breeze. So hopefully Sami wins, but really, I just want this main event scene to turn over and move on.

[Emmet Russell]

Zayn will be a great underdog champion should he pick up the win. I fear whoever wins - either Neville or Zayn - will be challenged by the guy who destroys the hype in NXT: Bull Dempsey. And that's going to f***ing suck.

Don't say such things.

[Emmet Russell]

If there's anyone who can bring the best out in Bull though - I don't know what his best is, however - it's going to be Zayn or Neville. I think Zayn especially could wrestle the proverbial broom and carry it to three-star match.

[percymania]

Tyler. Makes the most sense to me. He's great. Then Sami Zayn can be chasing Breeze for the next few months.

[Dub H]

Breeze,for a champion that is not Ugoo
