Top 5 Current major champions in pro-wrestling

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura: NXT Champion

Some may not agree that the NXT title is worthy of being called a "major title." To anyone who believes that notion, I would like to encourage you, to take a look at what's been accomplished down in the ranks of the Yellow brand over the past couple of years.

NXT is no longer just the stepping stone to the WWE. In fact, NXT has grown into a destination for aspiring talent.

Shinsuke Nakamura is arguably the greatest NXT talent signed to date. With him as current champion, it only validates that title even greater. With all the other great talent in the NXT system, the future of that very title is indeed in great hands.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.

Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.

When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
