5 WWE Superstars who should return to NXT

#1 The Ascension

Konnor and Viktor could do with a return to NXT

There was simply no other choice here. It's two for the price of one in the top spot.

NXT's longest reigning Tag Team Champions and one of the most dominant forces in NXT history simply can't buy a win right now - and it's been like that for quite a long time. Whenever the Ascension are in the ring, you can almost guarantee their opposition is going to win, and most likely in super-quick time.

In NXT, The Ascension destroyed everything in their path, including legendary WWE tag team Too Cool and the Lucha Dragons, before eventually losing the titles to the Lucha Dragons one day short of a one-year reign, and then had another rare loss to an impressive pair of Finn Balor and Hideo Itami.

Well, on the main roster, the losses have not been quite so rare. The pair has found themselves getting scraps of TV time alongside Breeze and Fandango in the Fashion Files segments, but their time on SmackDown saw them lose incredibly quickly to Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin just weeks after suffering a similar fate to the Bludgeon Brothers before moving to Raw, where they had an impressive match against the Deleters of Worlds - again in a losing effort.

The Ascension had a great start on the main roster, but it was just that. The pair fell to nWo's Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and X Pac, before being laid out by the APA and the New Age Outlaws. While The Ascension got a win over Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, things quickly went downhill for The Ascension.

In 2015, The Ascension returned to NXT for one night only to answer the challenge of American Alpha in a match that saw the crowd show their appreciation to the former champs.

If this match showed anything, its that the Ascension could do with a return to NXT, particularly with the Undisputed Era ruling the roost on the yellow brand right now - although that time may also have passed with the War Raiders looking like the future of the brand.

The Ascension are probably the most underutilised Superstars on WWE television right now, and I can only hope their luck changes soon - although it doesn't look likely.
