#4. Velveteen Dream

We'll admit that this is a situation that could go either way. We've learned by now that success in NXT doesn't always translate to success on the main roster. Velveteen Dream is the longest-reigning NXT North American Champion so far and has been a consistent presence in the brand's main event scene.
One of the things that the 24-year old Velveteen Dream has going for him is the fact that he's a homegrown talent for WWE. He's been one of the biggest success stories from Tough Enough and he didn't even win the competition.
WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!
He's been treated as a big deal in NXT and has caught the attention of Superstars like John Cena and Edge, both of whom stated their desire to face him. While there's a risk of Vince McMahon not "getting" his character and dubbing him as an enhancement talent early on, the fact that he's a more character-based wrestler (with incredible in-ring talent) could see him on the receiving end of a big push in the future.
