Bobby Lashley left WWE after his first spell in the company before NXT was established and has only been back for around three years.
The former WWE Champion has been part of some main event level storylines over the past few years alongside MVP and The Hurt Business. Whilst the NXT brand has been making headlines over the past few years and there have been some hard-hitting stars coming out of NXT, Lashley has never felt the need to go the other way.

Instead, Lashley is one of very few current WWE Superstars who haven't made any appearances in NXT in his career. Many stars made early appearances between 2010 and 2014, but Lashley left WWE for the first time in 2008 and didn't make his return for a decade, so he wasn't able to be part of this class of stars.
Lashley was surprisingly one of the stars that were called back to the company in 2018 and able to return to the main roster, rather than coming through NXT, like Drew McIntyre once did.
