5 current WWE Superstars that had a lacklustre run in NXT

#4 - Xavier Woods

Woods is almost unrecognisable from his NXT days

Xavier Woods arrived in WWE with a credible background after his run in TNA as Consequences Creed. However, he was never given anything to really sink his teeth into during his NXT run and was restricted to a number of intermittent, uninspiring appearances in his 12 months with the brand.

This was followed by a lacklustre main roster debut where Woods would form a tag team with R-Truth. This angle never went anywhere for either man and after failing to make an impact on the roster during is first six months or so, you'd be forgiven for fearing the worst for Woods.

Enter the New Day.

Forming a stable with Big E and Kofi Kingston undeniably saved Xavier Woods' WWE career and allowed him to showcase his undoubted charisma. As a unit, the three men have become one of WWE's most marketable acts and have achieved high levels of success along the way, most notably holding the record for the longest tag team championship reign in WWE history.

Woods is still a valuable member of the roster to this day, perhaps more now than ever after recently being given the opportunity to display his distinguished in-ring skills, something he doesn't always get credit for.
