#8 and #7 WWE 205 Live regulars Ari Sterling and Asher Hale

Having just recently signed with WWE, Ari Sterling wrestled 10 matches for the company. Nine of them were on 205 Live. Sterling was known on the independent scene as Alex Zayne, which he confirmed through Twitter will be his in-ring name once again.

Ari Sterling's record in the company is nearly identical to Asher Hale's. He also primarily wrestled on 205 Live along with a couple of losses on NXT. Sterling and Hale even faced each other on 205 Live, with the former coming out on top.


#6 Tyler Rust

As seen with Aleister Black, WWE has not had any regard for ongoing storylines when releasing superstars. With that being said, Tyler Rust's situation was particularly frustrating. He had barely returned to NXT as a part of Diamond Mine, alongside Roderick Strong, Malcolm Bivens, and Hideki Suzuki.

Just as the stable was embedding itself in the title scene on the Black and Gold brand, Rust has been let go. He did not even last a year in WWE, although he did make several appearances for the company as an enhancement talent beforehand.
