NXT Power Rankings: Corbin Rising, Neville and Zayn Ready for Showdown?

A decent card and the continued domination of Charlotte Flair and Baron Corbin set the scene for a solid episode of NXT that entertained, but never surprised or shocked.

Check out this week’s NXT Power Rankings to see who’s quickly climbing up the NXT ranks and who may be due for a promotion to the main roster.

Honorable Mention: Lucha Dragons: They are a fun tag team to watch, but over the last five weeks, they’ve established themselves as a dominant force in the tag team division. Rather than fight newcomers however, this team needs some real competition.

5: Charlotte Flair: While her win over Becky Lynch this week was a solid one, Flair is sure to have her hands full over the next few weeks from Sasha Banks. That’s when we’ll see the best of Flair. Right now, you’re just seeing NXT kill time by having Flair maintain her reputation as the most dominant woman in NXT.

4: Colin Cassady and Enzo Amore: These guys were solid on the mic once again and their newest addition, Carmella is just as charismatic. With plenty of fan support and room to grow, Amore and Cassady just need more ring time and it’s only a matter of looking on your calendar- these guys deserve to be on RAW and Smackdown.

3: Baron Corbin: He’s got one move, but damn is it an effective one. Add in a level of charisma and presence and this guy has the ability to one day be an NXT Champion.

2: Sami Zayn: Another win over Tyson Kidd continues to add another notch to the credibility belt of Zayn, a future NXT Champion and WWE superstar. Beloved by the fans, Zayn is something special.

1: Adrian Nevlle: His upcoming match with Titus O’Neil is one we’re particularly excited about, but it’s another test for Neville, who will undoubtedly be a WWE superstar- and soon.
