Top 5 Babyfaces in NXT right now

As Triple H noted on the Steve Austin podcast, it is really difficult to book a babyface or rather make someone a babyface. Kayfabe is more or less dead. There are so many characters who get ambiguous reactions which WWE like to term as polarizing. Most of the babyfaces do encounter detractors who would do nothing but boo. But as NXT is making strides by leaps and bounds and getting a loyal fan following every week, it also houses some of the most popular babyfaces who are only cheered whenever they make their way in the NXT arena.Here are those top 5 babyfaces-

#5 Blue Pants

She’s only four matches old in NXT but she’s gained a very loyal following despite losing three of her four matches. The crowd has been overwhelmingly supportive. Her ring gear is different and nerdy and that’s what gives her the cool persona. Her appearance looks more inspired by comic book or video games and that’s part of why she’s charmed the NXT audience. Also, she’s from the Independent Circuit. That gets her the hardcore fans’ approval as well. A quirky entrance song and outfit has only made her more endearing.

#4 Enzo Amore and Big Cass

‘The Realest Guys in the room’ have always been a shoo-in whenever anyone wants to talk about the most popular stars on NXT. The audience knows all their lines by heart and it’s a delight to see them not miss a beat whenever Amore begins his usual monologue. Their funny, entertaining and engaging characters. They are arguably the most over tag team in NXT and it looks like for the first time in the longest time, they’re going to vye for the tag team championships. Bada Boom.

#3 Bayley

Charlotte and Sasha Banks are arguably the two women in NXT many pay a lot of attention to. They have been the faces of the womens division for sometime now. And as Charlotte’s move to the main roster seems apparent this year and so does Sasha Banks’, Bayley is the heir apparent to this division on NXT. While the crowd is always divided whenever Charlotte and Banks are in the ring with some cheering the former NXT Women’s Champion and some cheering for the new NXT Womens’ Champion, Bayley’s support has remained constant.

‘Bayley’s gonna hug you’ is one of the most unique chants of the show whenever she’s around. Her support is only rising and she is very well on her way to become a leading part in the burgeoning women’s division story in NXT.

#2 Finn Balor

There is no shadow of a doubt that Finn Balor has been a welcome addition to the NXT roster and made it even more credible than it was. He’s had a spectacular showing. His face paint is only gaining more and more relevance and because it’s NXT, even that has a lot of meaning and that exactly has been specified on the show. One thing that you won’t get while watching Finn balor is bored. He is a star in the making and grabs your curiousity and attention.

#1 Sami Zayn

Nobody in NXT can touch Sami Zayn when it comes to unwavering admiration and loyalty. He gets the best reactions from the crowd. His celebrated independent career only makes him more of a hero. His trademark chants of ‘Ole Ole Ole’ can be heard in the audience at the Raw after Wrestlemania. NXT is no different. The way he incited reactions from the crowd during his match against Owens was something only seen in the WWE when Undertaker lost The Streak.

And only he can sell the term ‘Zayniac’ and make it mean something cool.
