Looking at the cast after a few weeks and getting to see a little bit of people's physical talents/skills and promo skills, here's my rough guesses that can be mocked mercilessly in a few years.
Patrick seems to have a good chance of winning, or probably getting a development deal if he doesn't. I'm not sure what his long term prospects are, because being a "smart mark" may work well for him from a voting / WWE UNIVERSE angle, but it will probably get him destroyed in the locker room. He seems to really love the business, and being a fan can help, but we'll see.
Josh isn't going to win, but I would be stunned if he doesn't get a developmental deal. He's got the size and look that certain people in the company love, and supposedly he's Vince's favorite. Unless he nearly kills someone fucking up in training, I can't imagine he won't find his way into the company. If he can become passable in the ring, I'd be stunned if he didn't make his way to at least NXT TV just based on his size/look.
ZZ is kind of a toss-up. People love him and he can lift/toss people apparently and cardio can be improved, but will a guy in his shape get a shot? Hogan compared him to Dusty, but would a dude like Dusty get a shot nowadays? If he ever makes it to the roster, I think we're looking at more Santino than Bray Wyatt.
Mada has a decent shot at getting a developmental deal too, I would think. He's got the look/size, and he was able to cut at least one pretty decent intense promo. He choked on Tough Talk, but if he has time to think, he can put something together, based on the challenge. I don't know what his in-ring aptitude is like, but he has presence.
I don't think that any of the women will get very far, at least from what I've seen. Predictions that Sara Lee will win based on what Vito says are probably right, but she would have a long way to go to be roster ready at some point.
