10 NXT stars who were brought up to the main roster before they were ready 

#9 Tye Dillinger

Tye Dillinger could have benefitted from a few more months in NXT

"The Perfect 10" was able to become a firm fan favourite with the NXT Universe before he made his main roster debut at The Royal Rumble main event back in January. Rather than capitalizing on this, WWE decided to sent Tye back to NXT and then have him debut on the SmackDown Live brand a few months later instead.

Tye was fantastic as an addition to The Royal Rumble match, but it seems that he has failed to continue what he started at the beginning of the year. It isn't all Dillinger's fault, he hasn't been given the opportunity he deserves on the main roster since his debut, but it seems that he isn't pushing hard enough for these opportunities either. There is nothing about Dillinger that makes him stand out above anyone else on the SmackDown roster, so why should WWE push him?

If he remained in NXT for a few more months then he could have worked on ways to ensure that he was a cut above the rest, but much like every other star down there, Dillinger just wanted to make it to the main roster and now he's been lost amongst the shuffle.
