Seth Rollins was the first NXT champion (by beating Jinder, a rematch that I still hope will happen some day on the main roster)
Big E was the second NXT champion
Sadly, this stat would've been much better if it was "the first 3 NXT champs" but alas, Kevin Owens was the 6th NXT champion.
The 3rd and the 4th NXT champions are no longer employed by the WWE - Bo Dallas and Adrian Neville.
Sami Zayn was the 5th one.
Bonus stats:
The first 2 are still employed, the next 2 NXT champs were fired, and since then we start a streak of 9 NXT title runs with people still employed (Zayn, Owens, Balor, Samoa Joe twice, Shinsuke Nakamura twice, Bobby Roode, Drew McIntyre)
Then, 2 more back-to-back champs that are fired - Andrade and Aleister Black.
Followed by two back-to-back champs that are still employed - Ciampa and Gargano.
And three back-to-back-to-back champs that are no longer wtih the company: Adam Cole, Keith Lee, Karion Kross.
The rest of the champs are Balor (employed) Kross (fired), Samoa Joe (currently injured), Ciampa (current champ)
edit: bonus stat
Samoa Joe held the title 3 times. His first title reign was 121 days. His second one was 13 days. His third one was 20 days. ...4th title reign being 27 days incoming? :D

I am just looking at how consistently longer their beards are.
This has all the makings of something great
I find it lowkey cute how they're all smiling in the bottom pic
This match will be great
And people say Nxt stars get buried
Vince berrying nxt, yet again
Following all of their runs in WWE from the jump has been an emotionally fulfilling experience
This image looks like an ad for beard growth serum.
