With a constant funnel of talent coming from NXT after every WrestleMania, some superstars thrive while others struggle to find their place on the main roster. With WrestleMania 34 around the corner, and a new batch of NXT superstars poised to make their main roster debut, let’s take a look at last year’s crop.
9) Singh Brothers
Main Roster Moment: Helping Jinder Mahal Capture the WWE World Championship at BackLash
The Singh Brothers were signed to compete in the Cruiserweight Classic, where they were both eliminated in the first round. However, WWE saw enough potential to sign them to NXT. There, they were rebranded as the Bollywood Boyz. They competed in the Dusty Rhodes Classic, but was once again saw themselves eliminated in the first round.
On the April, 18 episode of SmackDown Live the Singh Brothers made their debut. Immediately the made an impact, helping the newly acquired Jinder Mahal win the Six-Pack Challenge for the #1 contendership for the WWE Championship.
Their most notable moments may have been the bumps they have taken at the hands of Randy Orton, including one in which Samir Singh nearly broke his neck on an announcers table. However, it seems as though WWE has yet to scratch the surface of the Singh Brother’s talent. They have yet to wrestle, except for a squash match against AJ Styles. If they are separated from Jinder during this year’s Superstar Shake-Up, they may have a chance to shine.
8) Sarah Logan, Liv Morgan, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville
Main Event Moment: Participating in the First-Ever Women’s Royal Rumble
I hate to lump the women of Absolution and the Riott Squad together, but since being called up, they’ve all filled the same role. As lackeys, they have helped propel their faction leaders towards the top of the card. However, a career ending injury to Paige has given the women of AB solution a chance to step out from her shadow to attempt to forge their own path.The most exciting prospect for these women, is to see what happen after the superstar shakeup.
Having fulfilled their role, dissolving each faction could do wonders for their individual careers. Each of them have pretty good talent, and with a few more years under their belt, could become staples of the brands they represent.
