Predicting the next 5 NXT North American Champions

#1 Matt Riddle

Despite not having made his official debut for NXT TV, Matt Riddle is already on the road to becoming the next big superstar in WWE's black and yellow brand. And with a couple of big wins under his belt, after making his debut, the former UFC star could eventually earn his way towards a shot at the NXT North American Championship.

However, for doing so, Riddle will have to compile a few big wins for himself and expect 'The King of Bros' to subsequently get his shot at EC3's NXT North American Title by mid-2019. A bout between EC3 and Riddle is surely going to be an outstanding bout and will definitely be another classic coming out of NXT.

And having Riddle win the North American Title at some big NXT TakeOver event, will be the eventual icing on the cake for the former Independent superstar.
