#1.) Johnny Gargano
It may come as a surprise that Johnny Gargano is on this list, especially since he’s a better in-ring worker than 95% of the WWE main roster. While he does possess the qualities to be a top babyface, history has proven that superstars like Gargano slide down the card quite a bit on the main roster.
At NXT, he was the top babyface for a long time and has become a legend of the brand. If he stays, he will become the greatest superstar in NXT history. It’s obvious that it’s the perfect environment for him to thrive and he won’t get the time and freedom to wrestle the way he does at NXT. It’s best for him to stay put over there for the distant future.
