This was actually a tough one for me, but I ended up going with Sami Zayn. When I think of all of my favorite moments from NXT he is in a lot of them:

Sami Zayn vs. Neville
Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens
Sami Zayn vs. Nakamura

Even his match with Cesaro was amazing. I also considered Finn Balor but his title run was actually pretty boring to me. Zayn's run to the title and Zayn vs. Owens were some of the best storytelling in wrestling in a long time.

Zayn was Mr NXT, he had the best title win, the best NXT title match in history, and had a couple of great feuds with Owens and Neville among others, and capped it off with a bang with an absolute classic vs Nakamura.

Sasha and Bayley deserve a mention too.

Mainstream attention to womens wrestling? Wrestling isn't even mainstream now let alone NXT my dude. Your other opinions are fine my man but the only mainstream thing about wrestling is then the Rock is making a movie.

Has to be Sami Zayn for me. I could rave about how many amazing matches he had there, but of course some "alpha male" muscle mark will tell me that he is only good as a wrestler and he doesn't belong in the business. The truth is, while Sami is amazing in the ring, his story in NXT was the most perfect one they've ever told. I really think it is one of the all time great underdog stories in the WWE altogether. They understood his character and played perfectly to all of his strengths, and his story in 2014 was perfect. He was great in the ring, but his being a nice guy and such always seemed to make him finish last. When he won the NXT title, it felt like a huge moment. He had a great run and easily the best sendoff of any NXT wrestler.

I'd go with Bayley. Her chase for the title and eventual win was the most emotionally compelling and gripping story WWE has told in years. Her two Takeover matches against Sasha were phenomenal.

Then she got called up and it all turned to shit.

Neville had my favorite title reign...

Sami Zayn's title win and then feud with Owens was great. Plus his match with Nakamura, and all the things he did in NXT.

Balor is a good choice as well.


Hmm I don't know who to pick between Neville and Zayn.. I guess Zayn, but Neville's reign as champ and him acting heelish towards the end of run, made Zayn's win much sweeter.

If anyones answer isnt Sami Zayn, then they are wrong. Only exception would be Owens but the problem is that Owens wasnt there too long.

Sami put NxT on the map.

Hello I think it has to be either Sami Zayn or Neville . Sami Zayn had some best NXT matches with Cesaro match of the year Michael cole said that.

Also Neville as he has taken skills from NXT to being entertaining on RAW. Not many NXT stars have transitioned to the main roster and gotten over like him.

Lastly Seth Rawlins as he managed to get to top of WWE and be champion , the 1st NXT person to do so.

Yours

Farhan
