Lately we've seen a few starts head back to WWE NXT to try and get a reboot on their careers. Starts like Curtis Axel, Tyson Kidd, Sin Cara, Zack Ryder, Alex Riley, Eva Marie, and Emma have made the jump back to NXT to show the world that they can really shine.
But which starts on the main roster could really benefit from making the trip back to NXT? Here's a list of superstarts and divas that could really use a trip down to Florida:
10. Adam Rose
It's party time, all the time! Sucking on a lollipop and skipping around really hasn't done much for Adam Rose since he joined the main roster. Since his debut, his real claim to fame is that he got to do a segment with Kathy Lee and Hoda...God that was horror to watch. Adam has made a few appearances in NXT since his main roster bump. Here's hoping that a change is coming. And hey, maybe he'll bring Rosa Mendes along with him!
9. Cameron
The former Funkadactyl has been put on the back-burner ever since she split from Naomi. Without really building a feud around their separation, Naomi went on to become a jumpier version of Jazz, while Cameron was left doing...well, a lot of nothing. She's recently been cut from E's Total Divas, so maybe she can find her way to NXT to really establish who Cameron is and practice her craft.
8. Erick Rowan
He's the man that has a beard and wears a goat mask. Erick Rowan really hasn't found an identity since being released from The Wyatt Family. He was a part of The Authority/John Cena storyline, but never really stood out as someone to remember. NXT might be the perfect place to give Rowan a fresh start and maybe get him out of the sheep's pen.
7. Heath Slater
The one man band and WWE's resident jobber. Heath Slater has lost to everybody from John Cena to Lita. Slater has smooth mic skills and I have to say that I really like the one man band gimmick personally. I feel if Slater went back to NXT, that he'd get a nice push and get to see some wins on his record. And let's face it, anything is better than Slater-Gator.
6. Los Matadores
Ole! The flying bull fighters and their tiny bull El Torito have been in the Tag Division for some time now and have really just been filler. The crowd gives them a warm reception, but it's unclear if it's for them or more because they have El Torito being flippy and awesome. The Matadores have a fun gimmick and I see it as something that would flourish next to NXT teams such as Enzo & Big Cass or The Vaudvillians.
5. Bo Dallas
Do you Bolieve? Well during his time in NXT, where he was a former NXT Champion, you really couldn't help but love or hate Bo Dallas cause he was in your face and awesome at annoying the piss out of you. In NXT that really garnered a reaction and got the fans to pay attention to Bo, since being on the main roster, he's still annoying, but it's not really correlating. Maybe a trip back home could bring Bo back into the lime-light.
4. Tamina
Tamina is being built up as the powerhouse of the Divas Division now since, in all reality, her and Nattie are the biggest girls there. Tamina looks like a powerhouse, but in the ring, she's been less than stellar. Her recent match with Paige since returning from injury was brutal. Maybe NXT could breathe some new life into Tamina?
3. The Ascension
One of the most perplexing main roster debuts in the world...The Ascension went from a dominant and sinister tag team in NXT to an awkward Road Warriors rip off and the world didn't gravitate towards them at all. The shoulder pads are weird and why on Gods green Earth do you have giant red triangles on your forhead? The Ascension needs to travel back in time and get rid of the shoulder pads. Please get rid of the shoulder pads...
2. Fandango
The ruler of the Cha-La-La, the savior of salsa, the dancer from...I'm out of words. But Fandango made his debut at Wrestlemania, defeating Chris Jericho, one of the most decorated champions of all time and then...Poor Fandango. His gimmick has always been something that he can do well and his wrestling skills are definitely up to par. A return to NXT and a feud with Tyler Breeze (or an alliance?) would be something to see!
1. Jack Swagger
The All-American American went with Zeb Colter and really found a gimmick that made him a guaranteed merchandise seller, We The People, was great at its peak, but now Swagger has been left with nothing and looks as though he's just waiting for Zeb to make a return. Swagger is a natural athlete and in the ring could bring something different to the NXT ring. NXT has the power to breath new life into Swagger and really give him the push he needs to jumpstart his career again.
So those are my pics! What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Who do you think should be on this list? Leave a reply in the comments!
