Who should be the next NXT champion?

[Main Event Mark]

These seem like the likeliest currently, but it could be anyone really.

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

Hayes needs to ascend to the title scene. Have him beat down JD in a #1 contenders feud before the next PLE (because JD didn’t get pinned last match.)

Melo wins, Breaker leaves (hopefully to Smackdown), NXT thrives.

I’d take any of them though. Even Wagner.

[griti kitty]

Obviously Melo but if for whatever reason he gets called up soon, Tony D would be 2nd choice. He can truly be the Don of NXT and can continue his trend of exiling people to the main roster.

[asuka007]

Carmelo and it is not even close imo.

[jjohns828]

Unless he's being called up soon Carmelo is definitely the guy.

[Hypnosis]

Melo.  He's been ready.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

Even though he doesn't interest me much I would say Carmelo and that's who I think is going to win as well. Dragonuv, McDonagh, Grimes, and Bate have all had shots and lost. Apollo is basically NXT's Undertaker in that it seems like he's going to be in goofy spooky midcard feuds. Von Wagner.....I don't think I have to go into detail with that. Honestly I think Waller would be the most entertaining as champion but he doesn't strike as a World Title type guy. North American Championship would be more suited for him.

[Instant Classic]

Carmelo or Theory.

[Banjo Is Broken]

Why was Damon Kemp not included on this poll?

[PTBartman]

Dragunov. Halloween Havoc was the first NXT show I ever watched, but something about him just made me happy. Dude is a selling machine. And that ridiculous move, where he caught McDonough off the Frankensteiner and turned it into a power bomb. Definitely want to see more of him.

[Deleted]

Von Wagner for me. He has the most star potential in the casual fans eyes.

[canceled4truth]

I think Melo is a little overrated. I wanna see Ilja win it.

[Slammy Award-Winning Cannibal]

Melo. I wouldn’t count out a guy like Dijakovic though. I think this time he’s coming to secure some main event gold.

[King Devitt and the Woke Mob]

Anyone. f***ing ANYONE.

The title used to feel important.

At this rate give it to a random fan in the crowd, I don't care.





(officially I voted for Ilja b/c he's awesome, sexy, a cannibal maybe, and would make a great NXT champion)

[Bo Rida]

Bo Dallas.
The answer will always be Bo Dallas until he's reclaimed his championship.

Well, Dijakovic wasn't on the table when I answered, but I'd change my pick to him. That dude really deserves way more than what he's gotten

Theory isn't a bad idea... it really turned my thoughts about Mandy as a performer around with her going to NXT and getting the title.

The only thing he doesn’t deserve is his old first name back. No way we’re gonna have two Dominiks on the same roster.

[Error]

Gacy. I think they need a strong heel champ after this run and Melo should move to the main roster already. Outside of a month long run by Dolph it's been Faces for over a year.

Weird that they teased the possibility of Theory cashing in at Halloween Havoc, didn’t acknowledge him on the show, and just pretty much pretended it didn’t happen.
