Many of WWE NXT’s most beloved champions have gone on to do big things on the main roster but there are some that ended up leaving the company.
From those who went to AEW a few years back but may re-consider now to others who have only recently departed but are still hotly demanded by fans, there are a plenty of names who could return to WWE one day.
Here are eight former NXT champions that could re-sign with WWE.
8. Dolph Ziggler
Dolph Ziggler had a notable run as NXT Champion back in 2022 when he had a stint on the brand despite being established on the main roster for so many years.
Capturing the title by beating Bron Breakker and Tommaso Ciampa in a triple-threat match in NXT, he would successfully defend it against Breakker and LA Knight in singles competition before Breakker captured the title on the post-WrestleMania episode of WWE Raw.
He is currently in TNA wrestling under his real name Nic Nemeth – and reigning as TNA World Tag Team Champion along with brother Ryan Nemeth – so his career certainly hasn’t stalled since departing WWE.
However, now that crossovers are possible given the partnership between WWE and TNA Wrestling, perhaps fans will see the return of Ziggler/Nemeth on WWE TV in the near future.
