#5 Ethan Carter III
Let's just be honest with ourselves here - Derrick Bateman didn't work out in WWE. At all. It was a ridiculous character with no real noticeable charisma, and he should've been given another chance under a new gimmick. Instead, Ethan Carter III was born upon his release from the company as he made the switch over to Impact Wrestling.
It turned out to be a pretty good move for EC3, as he became one of the most well-rounded stars in professional wrestling. He's still relatively young, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him come back over to NXT, although he'd probably be forced into a name change - so let's just hope and pray that they pick something decent this time.
