The NXT curse: 10 wrestlers who were stars in NXT but floundered on the main roster.

6. Dana Brooke

In NXT, Dana Brooke was seen as a young but promising novice in the world of wrestling. Under the tutelage of women like Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, she showed signs of becoming a good wrestler.

Then she was drafted to Raw--mostly because Vince McMahon thought her good looks made her instantly marketable--and has largely been unimpressive. He biggest career highlight to date is losing to Asuka in record time. And while in NXT her skills seemed to improve week by week, she has begun to stagnate.
