#3. Former WWE North American Champion Bronson Reed
Bronson Reed was recruited by WWE back in 2019 and joined several other big-name stars at the company's Performance Center. Reed made his official debut in NXT's Breakout Tournament in the summer of 2019 but was defeated by Cameron Grimes in the quarter-finals.
The Australian star went on to focus on the North American Championship and was unsuccessful a number of times, before defeating Johnny Gargano on an episode of NXT to become Champion.

This victory came less than three months before Reed's WWE release and made him the first Australian and non-American superstar to win the title.
After Reed dropped the Championship to Isaiah "Swerve" Scott the following month, there were rumors that the star was heading up the company's main roster.
This wasn't the case, since the former Champion was released from the company along with several other superstars on August 6th. Reed was easily one of the biggest shocks on the list of releases since many believed he was heading to SmackDown to join The Bloodline alongside Roman Reigns.
