8 WWE Superstars you forgot appeared on NXT

#2 Randy Orton

Randy Orton

‘The Viper’ Randy Orton is one of the most successful Superstars in modern WWE. A 13-time world champion and multiple time Royal Rumble winner, Orton is still one of the most popular Superstars on the roster. Orton has shown that he’s still at the top of his game when he wants to be, during his feud with Edge. 18 years into his WWE career, he’s still going strong. He was involved in a Twitter feud with NXT Superstar Tommaso Ciampa. After this, many are wondering if The Viper will indeed turn up on the Black & Gold brand.

Speaking of Orton’s WWE run, he’s also had one match in NXT in his career so far. Orton faced Damien Sandow on NXT in early 2013, beating the former WWE star decisively.

#1 John Cena

John Cena

We finish off our list with none other than John Cena. Unlike the other names on this list, Cena never wrestled in NXT but only made an appearance. Cena’s only appearance in NXT was actually in a dark segment and not televised. A small part of his segment can be seen in the video below:

John Cena came out to meet Damien Sandow in the ring. The duo were then interrupted by Enzo and Cass.
