5 WWE Superstars who need to revitalize their careers on NXT

Modified Jul 18, 2020 14:27 GMT

WWE could send some of its underutilized main-roster Superstars to NXT.

#1 Ricochet

Ricochet was one of the biggest signings in the history of NXT. Prior to coming to WWE, he was already a big star for Evolve, Dragon Gate, Pro Wrestling Guerilla, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and Lucha Underground. He is undoubtedly one of the most athletic Superstars in WWE history. Ricochet spent only a year in NXT before being called up to the main roster last year.

After just four months on the main roster, Ricochet won the United States Championship by defeating Samoa Joe. He went on to lose the title to A.J. Styles and they began a feud. Ricochet also scored huge wins over Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Seth Rollins. He earned a WWE title shot against Brock Lesnar at WWE Super ShowDown earlier this year but lost in just two minutes.

Since then, Ricochet's credibility has been on a downward spiral and he has become a regular fixture on WWE Main Event. Even teaming up with Cedric Alexander hasn't done him any wonders so far. If given the chance to return to NXT, Ricochet can have a Finn Balor-like impact on the brand. Ricochet is too talented to not succeed in WWE.
