6 WWE Superstars you didn't know were NXT rookies

#1 Bray Wyatt

The single biggest WWE star who was a part of the game show version of NXT, aside from the first season, is Bray Wyatt. He, like Curtis Axel, is a third-generation Superstar who's identity in WWE was drifted away from his family's legacy. Being described as an army tank with a Ferrari engine, Husky Harris was the name he was given back then.

Harris was mentored by 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes but finished in fourth place out of eight on NXT Season 2. He joined the Nexus shortly afterward, staying in the group for four months. Harris returned to FCW in 2011 and ended up turning into Bray Wyatt by the time NXT became WWE's developmental brand.

Wyatt founded his faction in NXT, eventually moving on to the WWE main roster along with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper. Over the next few years, the Wyatt Family would see multiple changes until it all came crashing down when Randy Orton infiltrated and destroyed the faction, as well as the Wyatt Family Compound.

Two years later, the world was introduced to Bray Wyatt's new creation, the Firefly Fun House. It has been one of the best and most fulfilling parts of WWE programming in the past year, along with the rise of The Fiend, Wyatt's terrifying alter-ego.
