WWE NXT has truly featured the pro wrestling stars of tomorrow and it’s been evident over the last year just how fast some of the talents are thrust into the main title picture.
On Monday, Lola Vice made her WWE main roster debut and earned a shot in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match in October. Sol Ruca held the Women’s Intercontinental Championship for 57 days this year. Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia, who got a cup of coffee in NXT, each held titles when they were called up. Je’Von Evans is in the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, Bron Breakker is a tag team champion and Oba Femi feuded with and likely ended the career of Brock Lesnar.

Former WWE star Mosh, who spoke to OutKick Dropkick last week and opened up about his Live Fortunate premium lifestyle brand, said he’s gotten to spend some time with the NXT stars and named a few wrestlers to watch and a tag team he’d like to see The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher) possibly get into the ring with one day.
“Well, the obvious is the guys on top. Kelani (Jordan) is amazing. Jaida (Parker) is amazing. Then you have Kam Hendricks, who’s going to be another great superstar,” he said. “And then, you’ve got Grayson Waller, who came in and made a huge impact by calling out the locker room.
“Tag teams, I love Hank and Tank. If there’s ever an opportunity for us, for The Headbangers, to wrestle Hank and Tank, I would absolutely love that. Birthright is a great group. They all have the wrestling gene in their blood. There’s so many. You have Harlem Lewis and Harley Riggins who are in Evolve. I get the names crisscrossed. There’s so many guys there that are coming up that are ready.”

Mosh said that’s one of the things he enjoys about NXT – the environment that’s being built around the up-and-coming talent.
“That’s one of the things I love about NXT is that the culture they’ve built there is unbelievable and the environment is crazy great,” he added. “As soon as they start plucking people from the NXT roster and put them on the main roster, the next person steps right in and there’s no lull. They step right in, they know what’s coming up, and they know what’s going on.
“And then the other part I love too is guys from the main roster still go down to NXT to work out and train. Then they get in there with these kids and they talk to them and go, ‘This is what you’ve got to expect when you come up here. This is kind of what you need to do to be next in line for it.’ That’s one of the things that I love about it.”
