#2 Aleister Black
The current NXT Champion, Aleister Black is one of the best performers to exist. I can run out of superlatives describing how good he is. A tremendous in-ring worker with a character that is so cool, there is nothing in Black's way of being a superstar. His work so far has justified him being the NXT Champion and being the one to carry this brand forward.
Tommy End, as he used to be known as on the indies, is a 16-year veteran of the industry, but is still just 33. After becoming a big name through his work with PROGRESS, End was signed up by the WWE and sent to NXT. Since his debut, he has achieved more than most people would predict he would. He had a fantastic feud with Velveteen Dream, as has been mentioned earlier. Not only did he win the NXT Feud of the Year, but he also won Breakout Star of the Year and Male Competitor of the Year. He usurped Andrade "Cien' Almas to become NXT Champion and promises to live up to his very very high billing. Black promises to be one of the best wrestlers in a generation if he continues on this path.
