#2 Keith Lee

Keith Lee has had no problem at all adapting to the NXT environment and has already gotten over with Full Fail. We've yet to see all that he's capable of, but we'll no doubt be basking in his glory throughout 2019.
While it seems unlikely that he'll become NXT Champion next year, the North American Championship is well within his reach. Ricochet won't hold onto it forever, especially if the yellow brand decides to follow up last year's ladder match with another one on WrestleMania weekend. Why not make it a yearly tradition? The North American title might change hands several times next year, particularly given that some call-ups are going to be inevitable.

Keith Lee is certainly going to be in the mix for that title throughout, and one has to think that he'll eventually be able to find gold.
