4 WWE main roster Superstars who would do better in NXT

Ente
You know it's true!

WWE has a lot of talent on the main roster. Some of those are good and deserve more and some talent would do better if in a new environment. It will help build them up to major stars again. Look at the talent that has been released over the years and look at how good they are now in NXT.

A trip back isn't always a bad thing. The trip can help whoever so that when they come back to the main roster, they're better. The talent that comes to mind who's done this in the past is Emma and Zack Ryder. Their time in NXT helped them become better than before, even if that was for a short time. Sadly Emma is no longer with the company and Zack Ryder is back to doing what he knows best, Losing.

Let's look at four superstars who could benefit from taking a trip to NXT for a while.


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#1 Apollo Crews

<p>
He Should've stayed in NXT a bit longer to help him grow

Apollo was sadly called up from NXT way too early and he hasn't done anything worthwhile up until he teamed up with Titus O'Neal. His partnership in ''Titus Worldwide'' has helped him get more screen time lately, but that's about it.

NXT would've been a great place for Apollo if he stayed a little longer. He could've done a lot instead of doing nothing in his first year on the main roster. He could've been NXT Champion if he'd stayed.

The talent alone in NXT now would create plenty of memorable matches for Apollo to be a part of. Apollo vs Adam Cole or Johnny Gargano to name a few.

#2 Mike Kanellis

Ent
Let him do something instead of wrestling dark matches

Remember when Mike debuted last year? Well besides feuding with Sami Zayn for a few weeks, that's all the screen time he got. He hasn't been on TV since. His wife Maria is out pregnant with their first child, so she won't be back anytime soon. But let Mike do something in the meantime.

According to his Twitter, he has gotten into amazing shape compared to how he was last year. His matches have primarily been dark matches and house shows. A trip to NXT would be great for him, considering how NXT helps talent evolve and show off their talents, Mike would great. He was really good during his time in Ring of Honor and had a decent run in TNA.

#3 Luke Harper and Erick Rowan

Ent
Harper & Rowan vs Authors of Pain would be great

Harper and Rowan repackaged as the Bludgeon Brothers haven't done anything besides beating nobodies every week. They both were in NXT with Bray Wyatt before making the jump to the main roster. Since WWE isn't doing anything worthwhile with the two, it would be better if they went to NXT.

The great tag matches the two could have would be great. Imagine a match for Harper and Rowan vs the Authors of Pain or Sanity. Even the two facing Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish would be great.

#4 Dolph Ziggler

Ente
NXT would treat him better than his entire main roster run has

Ziggler seemed to be brought up a lot in these ''Top 10's'' lists. It's because he's worth writing for. 'The Show Off' going to NXT will seriously help his career, considering he signed a new deal with WWE and it could work, but the deal seems to benefit his run on the main roster.

Ziggler becoming NXT Champion is something that would likely happen and it would be a smart move. Once again, the talent down in NXT would create so many match combinations for him. Drew McIntyre, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O’Reilly are just a few he can have memorable matches and feuds with.
