NXT has become the hot bed for the hottest and best professional wrestling on the planet over the past few years, and as such, WWE continue to bring in the best talent from around the world, and their current batch of NXT Live performers are among the best.
From Australian standouts to well-traveled veterans to big monsters, there is so much talent waiting to make it to NXT TV, and with the likely call-ups that are going to happen after WrestleMania, we may be seeing some of them, sooner, rather than later.
So sit back and read along as we take a look at some of the Performance Center's best recruits; 5 current NXT signees that will be on TV in the months post-WrestleMania.
#5 Elliot Sexton
The WWE is frequently referred to as the 'Land of the Giants', and while Elliot Sexton isn't a monster the size of The Big Show or Braun Strowman, he's an athletic big man with all the charisma in the world, and it's going to serve him very well going forward.
Sexton came to prominence in Australia, but also on YouTube, as he was the star of his very own series 'Trophy Life'. It shows that not only is he creative, but he's entertaining and full of charisma.
Whether he comes to TV as a singles star or alongside Jonah Rock as their MCW tag team 'SexRock' (name obviously won't make it to TV), Sexton is a star, and will go a long way in the company.
His wrestling isn't at the level of some of the other guys on this show, but his presence and pure character work make up for it, and it's likely that we'll be seeing him in the NXT Championship picture a year or so from now.
#4 ACH
WWE have reportedly been interested in several indie stars for years, and one name that has popped up constantly over the last 24 months is former ROH and Impact star, Albert Christian Hardie Jr, better known as ACH.
He combines his natural personality with some of the most innovative high-flying moves in professional wrestling, and now that WWE have finally got their man, it wouldn't shock anyone if they pushed him to the moon straight off the bat.
Out of everyone on this list, ACH is probably the one who is truly ready for WWE TV, as he's performed with New Japan, ROH and Impact over his career, so he'll likely be arriving on TV within the next few months.
Sure, there's a lot of personalities in NXT right now, and a lot of them are set on the brand for the long haul, but ACH is a naturally likeable performer and will get over with the Full Sail Crowd quite quickly.
#3 Jonah Rock
As mentioned, the Australian wrestling scene is growing rapidly, and there are now plenty of Australians working in the WWE, but the one with perhaps the most potential is recent signee, Jonah Rock.
Despite his size, The King of Monsters is a fantastic athlete, and his move-set in the ring reflects this, but he also knows how to turn on the power and dominate any performer smaller than he is.
Jonah had just recently signed for WWE after impressive stints around Australia and in the standout indie promotion PWG. In just a short time, he's already begun working NXT live shows.
It remains to be seen whether the WWE book him as a good guy or a dominant heel, but Jonah is very capable of portraying either role, and when he gets to Full Sail, he'll get over with the NXT Universe straight away.
#2 Babatunde/Stokley Hathaway
We first saw Babatunde in the Greatest Royal Rumble a year ago, but he's been working the NXT Live circuit for quite some time now. With a new manager by his side, it seems he could become a real force in the near future.
It's clear why WWE signed him, but reports are that he's improving quite a lot as an in-ring performer over the past few months, and it's not just any manager by his side, it's one of the best indie managers of the past few years, Court Moore (formerly Evolve's Stokley Hathaway).
Hathaway is one of the most charismatic and naturally entertaining performers in the wrestling business today, and it's going to mean big things for the giant. Sure, the act is going to take some time to get over, but we've seen that managers have been incredibly effective down in NXT, so when they are ready to put these two on TV, get ready for some fireworks.
#1 Trevor Lee
In the past, WWE have stayed away from former TNA/Impact stars, but with the birth of NXT, they've become a valuable source for the company. The latest big name to come from Impact is the Carolina Caveman, Trevor Lee.
Like most working on the indies today, Lee's in-ring skill-set is incredible, with several of the most innovative moves in wrestling today. He blends this all with great character work, making him a future NXT Champion for sure.
Unlike others on this list, Lee doesn't have to change much about his game to become NXT ready, and given that he's competed against most of the current NXT roster already, WWE just need to bring him to TV straight away.
Trevor is already announced for Progress Wrestling's Super Strong Style 16, a tournament they sent Kassius Ohno to last year. Thus, it's clear they've got big plans for him, and given all of the tools that he has, they should just throw him straight in the deep end.
