Darren Young going was no surprise. Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater could be sleepers, in my opinion. Wade Barrett seems like the favourite, but I dunno, I just can't see him winning. I don't think he needs it. Otunga won't need it, and probably isn't ready. For some reason, I'm thinking Heath Slater actually wins the whole thing and cashes in for a Unified WWE Tag Team Title Match with Christian. I get the vibe the WWE likes him, and he probably needs the most help.
Slater will shine as a heel, in my opinion, but the WWE seems to want to see how he'll go as a face for some reason. I see Slater & Christian as champs later this year, only for Slater to turn on Christian once they lose the titles. Then it's mid-card city for a while, until the next guy wins NXT, and Slater feuds with him over territory (Kaval?).
