#2 Aleister Black
The man from Holland came in quietly and laid waste to everyone and anyone in his path. Since his arrival in NXT, Black has beaten all comers, up to and including the current NXT champion Andrade ‘Cien' Almas. Whether it was Hideo Itami or the impressive and promising Velveteen Dream, Black has beat down his opposition and left them laying as a result of his spin heel kick. With each and every time he has hit his ‘Black Mass' finisher, Aleister Black has continued to build a name for himself.
During the tournament to determine a number one contender for the NXT championship, Black knocked out Adam Cole with his finisher, and in the process advanced to the finals. While he may not have been successful in the subsequent fatal four-way to determine the number one contender that doesn't mean that Black won't see a championship run in his future. He is considered among the top NXT superstars of 2017, if not the most successful one.
