#1 Rusev

Earlier this week, I mentioned in a feature regarding NXT on USA Network that it would be a mistake for WWE to load NXT up with main roster talents for its move to USA Network, but the names I mentioned in this piece are NXT favorites or "legends", and a return to the brand would be akin to the talents "returning home", so to speak.

Formerly known as Alexander Rusev in NXT, fans might perceive Rusev as too big of a star to return to NXT, but the fan-favorite has been all but banished from main roster television along with his wife and manager, Lana.

Rusev recently teased on Twitter that he knows what his next move is going to be as it pertains to his career, and a surprise return to NXT could be great for the big man and the former US champion.

Rusev carries with him veteran knowledge, star power, and the type of persona which could really help diversify the characters on NXT TV. As a bonus, Lana could return with Rusev, offering a winning combination for the Wednesday night brand.

Who else would you like to see move to NXT for its debut on USA Network? Let us know in the comment section!
