CM Punk Names Six NXT Stars as WWE’s Future

A close-up of professional wrestler CM Punk standing in a wrestling ring, holding a WWE-branded microphone and looking off-camera with a serious expression. He has short dark hair, a salt-and-pepper beard, and extensive colorful tattoos covering both arms and his shoulders. He is wearing a black sleeveless shirt featuring his "Best in the World" logo.

CM Punk Predicts Future

CM Punk is peering into the future of the WWE and has a bright future and is created by the existing stars of NXT. The world champion has used a long time in WWE Performance Center to train the young talents. Punk was invited in a recent episode of the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast to give six NXT future stars that he believed that would be monumental successes in the main roster soon.

Future NXT Standouts

I think you are watching it live on TV, Punk, I said. The call-ups have been fairly well handled. One of them, you know we were talking of three of them, Oba Femi, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams. Probably those are the three best in case you take a look at the landscape of people who have been called up. A sneasy robber who has preceded them however, is Carmelo Hayes. There are four black athletes right there as you can see and I think I should mention that. In my opinion, it is those guys who hold the future of the world. In my opinion these men are quite unique.

These statements of Punk are reflective of the recent emphasis by WWE to elevate the NXT stars to greater heights. Oba Femi, Je’Von Evans and Trick Williams have gained momentum due to good performances. Carmelo Hayes has already demonstrated that he is the type of personalities that should not be left out of the elite. This is a sudden appearance that WWE is altering its approach towards how it develops new stars.

Rising NXT Talent

The veteran did not direct his actions towards the new call-ups. He also has several NXT names that are about to enjoy an imminent success. I think Sol Ruca… had you seen, Kelani in the Rumble. She’s amazing. Jacy? Amazing,” he said. I feel that, it is everybody who will clear the way and carry the torch. NXT is stacked. It really is. Ricky Saints is another one. I think that another guy who is in NXT is Ethan Page.

CM Punk Mediates Between Ethan Page and Trick Williams on WWE NXT

There is some merit in the recommendation of Punk, since it has been given ample attention by WWE. He is a person who is committed to the future generation by attending the Performance Center. This new breed of NXT stars could be the future of WWE in case his projections will come to pass.
