NXT Power Rankings: Bo-Lieve in Adrian

Even though it wasn’t the most eventful week of NXT, the drama between Adrian Neville and Bo Dallas seems to just be getting started. That’s definitely good for business.

Check out this week’s NXT Power Rankings to which WWE young kings could be the next Superstar.

Honorable Mention: Alexander Rusev: He has yet to wrestle a match with anyone his own size or comparable skill. This week on NXT, he fought an injured Xavier Woods and naturally had his way with him. While we’re still excited about him, he hasn’t proved much yet.

5: Mason Ryan: Holy crap, this guy has managed to do the impossible. A muscular monster during his tenure in WWE, Ryan is leaner and in even better shape than he was before. With a squash win over Lesley Blake this week on NXT, Ryan has to be one of the next NXT performers to get the call up to the big leagues.

4: The Ascension: Colin and Viktor are the lead dogs in NXT’s tag team division and they added another dominating victory to their resume with a squash over poor Travis Tyler and Cal Bishop. Much like Paige, these guys could survive in the WWE, but it makes little sense to bring them up to waste away in the mid-card. For now, if anything, they should enjoy their time on top of NXT.

3: Paige: Another solid win this week on NXT courtesy of the Scorpion Crosslock, Paige continues to prove she has it all. The best young female wrestler on NXT, Paige is WWE ready, right now. At the same time, with such a weak Divas Division in the WWE, it’s probably best for her to continue and polish her skills in NXT.

2: Bo Dallas: The former NXT Champion had his hands full with the big Colin Cassady. Anything but “sawft,” Dallas was able to defeat the mammoth this week on NXT. With his NXTtitle rematch in two weeks, Dallas has momentum on his side and looks to regain the title he lost without being pinned.

1: Adrian Neville: The NXT Champion has his hands full with Bo Dallas, but he’s handling it in stride. After Dallas cut a promo that made fun of his looks and in-ring maneuvers, Neville responded like a champ and slapped the Bo-man across the mouth.
