Every NXT To WWE Call-Up Ranked From WORST To BEST 

the vid is 2 years old man :D

@@tobybll I know, so it’s really interesting to compare where she was then versus now. “In hindsight”

You ain't lying. Seth accomplished a lot in WWE.

Seth Rollins was the pinnacle of the former Black & Gold brand.

You are correct

@@JaimeD. cûhf yup

Has he ever won a main event mania match?

Or john cena

@@darianallenwilson I was thinking that too

Should have been Cena to come full circle

In all reality Chad Gable looks way more like Kurt angle’s son then Jason Jordan ever did

I was afraid of the Wyatt Family vignettes until the debut came up. Bray Wyatt, Eric Rowan and Luke Harper (R.I.P) were the best modern monster trio that I had the pleasure to see on their best days in WWE.

I think Bray was the last big Dusty Rhodes project.

Your crazy. Mankinds introduction promo's was the best

@@livingwithghost372 mankind was a nxt call up? Wow I honestly never knew that! Definitely something I should look into

One moment doesn't make it a good call up though

Alexa was a good heel was WAYYYYY to push on the main brand for my taste the way kelly kelly was pushed back in the late 2000's.

Alexa Bliss did a lot in NXT you trippin

Becky didn’t win any title on nxt either

Looks > Talent

@@gregoryfuller9736 but Bex at least had moments, her match with Sasha for the title was a standout and gave her more steam as more than just a sidekick

I get what you're saying.

Pacitti just has a magnetic personality and fantastic at narrating things

Yeah, I think a list vs a tier makes it more obvious which is the worse and the best. At least, imo

Well, her sloppiness gave us the best version of becky lynch, so that's something at least

The queen of botch.

I like nia

Tbf that 29 is very generous

@@gian9810 She has the look and the attitude to be a monster in the womens division without even the need of talking, however I am not sure if it was the time away or if she was really injured and couldn't practice but you can see a noticeable decline in her in ring performance the last couple years with moments of her shining. She hasn't "botched" anything to the point of causing serious injuries but the lack of selling and at times just lack of being in the right spot has been very bad. There were about 4-5 times during this years womens rumble that she completely messed up the flow of the match with her awful performance. She's had an awful lot of "off nights" where she didn't look very good in the ring over the last year or so.

That phrase is funny as hell. 😂👌

Everyone can't be a champion at the same time.

Way TOO soon. Thank me later.

Enzo is a certified bum

Breeze was nothing but a high class jobber in NXT, he was made to look like a threat but he was never winning anything big there.

@@theaccountant1522 He was usually in a good position on the card: a title contender, in the main event of Takeover, and the only guy to wrestle Jushin Thunder Liger. They seemed to think highly of him until he got to the main roster.

Vince got the ancension twerking on stardust

@@DanteJayce As he said in an interview. Breeze basically said that he knew/figured out his position as the person who would give everyone their best match but never be THAT guy. It worked out for him for over a decade in the WWE even with the main roster shenanigans

@@662chillin Oh for sure, he found a decent spot to fit into and did well there for his time in the company. I just think he was capable of so much more.

You get it, it’s not easy to get consistent amount of TV time

Right now there's a bunch of call ups working well on the main roster right now, having been called up years after Dusty's passing.... Most of them actually? He died in 2015.

@@jk6971 Idk if you're serious, but the top 10 were all talent that personally worked with Dusty. Even if he wasn't alive to see them explicitly touch Raw or Smackdown. And because every one of those lads and lassies that were in the same graduation class or later, aren't Charlotte Flair or Roman Reigns, they aren't pushed to the moon like those two are. Because Vince wants Charlotte to be the person to break Rick's 16 time world championship reign and the doggy dog big big dog tribal chief literally could, in Kayfabe, probably beat every single person that's ever walked through WWE's doors, going all the way back to when Bruno Sanmartino was still ruling the roost. So even if you think some of the more recent call ups have been treated well so far. Either they're going to be squandered and poached by AEW, or they're going to meet that Flair/Samoan shaped glass ceiling.

Yeah and a lot of it was due to very, very bad booking on WWE's part. See most of the earlier entries on this list.

Indie nxt had a lot of failures, but we've had a few good call-ups in recent time. Theory, Priest, Bianca and Bugez come to mind. I think the 2.0 prospects will do great, as well.

@@purpleheart9160 bronn for sure

@@purpleheart9160 yeah but none of these names are the typical smaller indie stars like Gargano, Ciampa or O'Reilly

@@purpleheart9160 bianca is a home grown talent

lmao

Have you seen him in NXT?

@@jmaxx7410 it’s ranking him on the main roster

One of the most boring guys I've ever seen

@@noahturtle3975 in NXT he was really good

I started watching wrestling at this period and he made me love it ^^

This is why fans need to stop getting so hung up on who's holding what title

His wwe championship run was great

@@darianallenwilson agrees

The man makes the title as they say. The IC title should feel like a big deal. If it doesn't, the bookers/writers, or the champion are doing something wrong.

Yeah, is unfortunate most of the NXT alumni got nothing but 💩 by the VKM brigade in the 2010s to this day. But, those who got released are doing way better elsewhere.

@@JaimeD. like who? Just curious

I'm glad Nakamura flamed out that dude sucked

@@dougjoestar1792 I think some of them wrestle on RU-vid now or something idk

@@gagejernigan5277 you're joking right?

Spot on 😂😂😂

Or simply, "goddam it".

You've got that right!

Right, I never referred to her as “the queen”. even if it’s KayFabe

@Dirk Platinum it's ONLY because she's a "Flair", she's gotten 13 title reigns in the first place!

Thus was before that lmao

@@kai.417 She's been stuck on Dark & Dark Elevation since January, with the exception of the TBS Title Tournament & her Owen Hart Foundation qualifier.

@@TAK1997 But but but aew uses talent the right way! It’s wwe’s fault my favorite mid card wrestler isn’t the world champion! 😂

In AEW's defence, Ruby's first few matches in AEW were rough. She was pretty clearly out of ring-shape and just didn't deliver. Now she's been on Dark and Elevation for a while getting herself back to her best she's starting to feature a lot more on Dynamite and Rampage, in programs with Toni Storm, Jamie Hayter and arguably the most over women's wrestler in the company Britt Baker, so I don't feel she's been that hard done by personally.

LMAO exactly

No Vince Mcmahan doesn't know how to build stars anymore because the rock and triple h were going be mid carders for life if not for The attitude era which was Vince Mcmahan actually making Stars

He a good big man with athletic skills and a pretty good promo too. He really had the blueprint if he'd have just kept him mouth shut.

@@ChubbyDaSage it was nothing to do with "his mouth" some neckbeard fuckwits dug up some homophobic comments he made *years ago* and likely doesn't agree with now. His other major problems were age (37 debuting on the main roster with 0 prior main event experience a-la KO or AJ Styles? Fuck off says Vince) and his numerous breaks for mental health issues, nothing wrong with him taking time off to get himself better in my eyes, but in Vince's eyes? There's no time for such weakness.

@@lilsunny7399 ummm just to correct you on 2 things: you can't compare KO and AJ to Lars, they both had over a decade of experience and both carried their respective companies so not only did they have the experience to get over they also had the mental strength to be a company cornerstone whereas Lars was scouted and groomed by wwe and had zero experience in wrestling until he was brought into NXT at 27 with KO and AJ having 32 years total in the business before reaching WWE. Btw that mental strength wasn't a knock on Lars just that you have guys that have all the tools but can't handle the pressure like when Eddie Guerrero legit said he couldn't handle it and asked to drop the belt. Second those things he posted on the internet was posted WHILE he was a wwe employee including the racist and homophobic remarks, that last one was especially hilarious since ironically Lars was involved in gay porn back in the day. So you have a guy who can't mentally perform, said homophobic and racist remarks while under contract he's done gay porn which is bad PR for a PG company and you've spent over 5 years trying to get him ready only for his anxiety issues and injuries setting the timetable back each time, you gotta do what makes sense and cut your losses and release the guy

You need the right partner to dance with to create magic in Pro Wrestling and ladder matched sell itself so yeah everybody made everybody look good at that ladder match

Yep. This list has changed a ton in just a year

Ciampa just beat the piss out of Miz because he never called or texted him while he was injured.

He's actually getting married soon, so he's pretty good

I can second this comment. 😺

@Chuck Buskee he was established as a good wrestler but not as a star. Not to mention Seth was young. Hunter was signing guys that were already in their prime when they got there. You cannot expect a lot of those mid 30s guy to be the future of the WWE

VEER still didn’t get here it’s 2022 already.

@@HCIbn he's lost in Ikea

Man you must be utterly seething right now lol

She may have to go bak bc she still is a background character on smackdown

For what, there’s been a lot of successes

@@ZYaKnoe249 it was more of a joke I wasn't discrediting the successes I was mainly talking about the ones they messed up like Keith Lee and Kross and Shinsuke etc

Shut up

She’s the triple h of womens wrestling

@@darianallenwilson no she is Roman of the women division she always get title

🔥😔 Rest in peace.

2012-2021*

Who said WWE took him from them 🤔 the word was he didn't want that schedule at the time he's also said that he was offered to come back in 2020

No

The order stinks

Should've been reversed lmao

@@greasy2007 i agree

carmella should be higher on list shes done alot since being called up

He doesn’t count because drew was in the main roster before nxt so technically he’s on the list of those that were in the main roster that went to nxt because they had nothing better to do at the time

Yeah it sucks they broke up American Alpha but I feel confident saying there was no Janetty of the team and in a perfect world would've both thrived alone or together

He had a long way to go his promos were awful

They’re the house of black

THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS
