10 Potential NXT Champions When Tommaso Ciampa Vacates

10. Dominik Dijakovic or Keith Lee

The match between Donovan Dijak and Keith Lee at PWG’s BOLA in September 2017 was rated 5 stars by Dave Meltzer and was truly a game-changer when it comes to big-man matches. The newly named Dominik Dijakovic and the ‘Limitless’ Lee would do battle on the latest episode of NXT TV. The match would go to a double count-out and was the perfect tease for the crowd. The pair seemed to be holding back for a future match, and the indecisive result of the bound would certainly support that claim.

This is just speculation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if NXT planned for Dijakovic and Lee to do battle at NXT Takeover: New York. With Ciampa now likely relinquishing the NXT Championship, why not give Keith and Dominik the prestigious NXT Championship to fight over?

Dijakovic tweeted a picture of him holding the NXT Championship once the news broke. Whilst this might merely be the big man trolling fans, it could be a subtle hint of what’s to come.

Both men are extremely agile and quick, especially given their larger frames. If they are to be given a solid amount of time, their match at Takeover will be fantastic, there is no doubt about that. Having the vacant NXT Championship on the line would only go to add greater stakes to the match and give it a big fight feel. Moreover, both men have performed well in their runs so far in NXT, but have by no means reached their potential. A clash over the championship could propel them to the top of the card. A place that both they do truly belong.
