#2 Tomasso Ciampa
Trending
This year, NXT has seen some amazing heel work by men such as Lars Sullivan, The Undisputed Era, and Shayna Baszler. However, Ciampa has been the man who has made the biggest statement thus far to close out the year.
After returning on NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia on January 27, 2018, and attacking Johnny Gargano with a crutch to close the show, Ciampa has become the most formidable heel on NXT.
He won his first singles NXT Championship in 2018, and his attack on his former best friend and teammate Gargano will remain one of the highlights of the year.
Ciampa has left no stone unturned and no tactic unventured to ensure that he retains his most prized possession, which is the NXT Championship.
Becoming one of the most talked about wrestlers in the WWE in no time even after being from the developmental brand requires a lot of hard work, and his heelish tactics have ensured that he has put his mind to becoming the best.
