7 times WWE Superstars stole the show on their debut

#3. Sting - Debuted at WWE Survivor Series 2014

Sting was considered the greatest wrestler to never compete in WWE. When WWE bought out WCW in the early 2000s, Sting was a name who refused to jump ship - stating that WWE's treatment of Booker T made him close the door.

Vince McMahon vowed that the two would do business someday, but it happened over a decade after he said it. Sting became a legend for TNA instead, and in 2014, he finally made his WWE debut at Survivor Series 2014.

His debut match for WWE was against Triple H, and he lost, for some reason. While he stated that he thought it would be his final match, many felt that it was the incorrect decision.

But his Survivor Series WWE debut remains one where he stole the show in an otherwise-incredible match. He helped Team Cena beat Team Authority and disband them, albeit temporarily.

#2. The Nexus

The Nexus

It's hard to believe that 10-and-a-half years have passed since the Nexus invasion angle. It was a group of NXT "rookies" from when it was a game show and not a developmental territory.

The group led by Wade Barrett stormed the main event of RAW and took out everyone present - including John Cena. Ultimately, they lost momentum, and the faction disbanded after a decent run - even having spinoffs such as The New Nexus and The Corre (with considerably lesser members).
