NXT Underdogs: 5 Names You Need To Remember

#4 TYE DILLINGER

Can Dillinger get the attention of the NXT decision makers?

A lot of fans don't realize this, but Tye Dillinger is no stranger to WWE's developmental system. Back in 2006, Dillinger was paired with an up and coming Cody Rhodes at Ohio Valley Wrestling, which was then a part of the WWE Developmental territory.

Together with Cody, the duo had a pretty significant run in OVW, winning the Southern Tag Titles.

After leaving OVW, Tye went on to work for several indie promotions, including Ring of Honor. He also had a stint at TNA before finding his way back to a WWE contract in 2013.

Dillinger is an incredibly hard worker, full of energy and charisma. Unfortunately for him, he's not getting any younger. While 35 years old isn't exactly considered senior citizenship, it is definitely not a common age in NXT, where most of the talent is still in their 20's.

Regardless of his age, Dillinger is determined to make it to the main roster and now the fans are getting behind him in a major way, with his perfect 10 gimmick.

Tye Dillinger is absolutely capable of making a surge in NXT towards the top. Time will be the ultimate determining factor for this developmental veteran.
