15 WWE Breaking Ground stars: What happened next (2015 to 2020)

#9 Aliyah (current WWE Superstar)

In 2015, new Performance Center recruit Nhooph was still trying to create a persona that would work on WWE NXT television.

Nowadays, Nhooph is known as Aliyah in WWE NXT.

The 25-year-old aligned with Robert Stone earlier in 2020 and she has recently been involved in her first meaningful storylines as a member of the WWE NXT roster.

#8 Devin Taylor

Like Aliyah, Devin Taylor’s in-ring work and lack of experience was highlighted by Performance Center coach Matt Bloom throughout the Breaking Ground series.

Taylor, who also worked as a backstage interviewer in WWE NXT, was given her release by WWE’s Senior Director of Talent Development, Canyon Ceman, in front of the Breaking Ground cameras.

#7 Zamariah ZZ Loupe

WWE Superstars do not get much more eccentric than Zamariah ZZ Loupe.

The 2015 Tough Enough contestant made up for his lack of in-ring ability with his personality and skills as an alligator wrestler.

WWE signed ZZ after he finished as the male runner-up in Tough Enough. However, things did not work out and he received his release from WWE in July 2016.

ZZ is now a wildlife conservationist and he works as a swamp tour guide in Louisiana.
