There are many stars who should have remained in NXT much longer

#1. Dana Brooke

Dana Brooke was pushed into a Women's Revolution when she wasn't ready

Dana Brooke has been struggling on the main roster for a number of years, she was promoted alongside Emma when the duo was still seen as two of the best female wrestlers in NXT, but the Women's Revolution on the main roster was too much for them to keep up with, but Dana has still been kept around.

The former fitness model has shown improvement in the ring over the past few months and has been able to slot into a number of gaps on Raw, but this doesn't change the fact that she could have benefited from remaining in NXT for a few months longer so that she could work on her ring awareness and some of her flare moves.

Brooke has been targetted by many members of the WWE Universe because of her lack of experience in the ring and if WWE didn't put her under a microscope so soon, then her career might have been different.
