5 NXT Superstars who are destined to be World Champions in the main roster

#1 Drew McIntryre

The Chosen One!

To be honest, McIntyre should've been world champion during his days as Vince McMahon's chosen one. He had the charisma and the in-ring ability to become a decent world champion but somehow he was overlooked during his first stint with the company.

He was one of the best heels the WWE had to offer during his initial stages with the company but he would eventually get lost in the shuffle and found himself on the lower mid card.

McIntyre was then added to the parody stable 3MB alongside Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater and that was the final nail in the coffin for his first tenure with the WWE and he was eventually released in June 2014.

McIntyre would go on to rejuvenate his career on the independent scenes as Drew Galloway and much like EC3, he found his break on TNA. Drew went on to capture the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the Impact Grand Championship in the process.

McIntyre returned to WWE at NXT TakeOver Orlando in April 2017 and since then he has held the NXT Championship once. He is now out of action due to injury and is expected to be cleared to compete after WrestleMania 34.

He is expected to be called up to the main roster on the draft which is rumored to happen after WrestleMania 34 and we can expect McIntyre to be drafted to SmackDown Live. It is highly possible that if McIntyre carries on the same momentum he is having right now, he is destined to become the WWE Champion very soon.
