Top 10 NXT call-ups who failed on the main roster

Just because you were a star in developmental doesn't mean you'll shine on the main roster.

#8 Enzo Amore and Big Cass (but mostly Enzo)

Neither of them is "doin'" well on the main roster...hell, one of them isn't "doin'" anything on the main roster.

When Enzo Amore was signed to the WWE, he had no wrestling experience. When Big Cass was signed to the WWE, he had minimal wrestling experience. So we're off to a bad start.

Luckily, Enzo and Cass got majorly over in NXT because of their colorful personalities. The two had a wide array of catchphrases in their arsenal, which somewhat helped mask their lack of in-ring ability. While the duo never won the NXT Tag Team Championships, they came awfully close on a few occasions, and it seemed as if they would finally hold championship gold on the main roster once they debuted.

While the two were still not main-roster-ready from an in-ring perspective, they once again got by on how entertaining they were. Still, they once again failed to capture the Tag Team Championships on multiple occasions. To make matters worse for them, reports of Enzo's obnoxious backstage antics began to surface, so WWE started making Enzo look more and more foolish on television every week. Then, the duo was inexplicably split up and Cass began an incredibly bland heel run that saw him wrestle absolute stinkers against Enzo (which made Enzo look even MORE foolish) and The Big Show. Then Cass tore his ACL and Enzo was moved to the floundering Cruiserweight Division because...why not?

While Enzo did end up capturing two Cruiserweight Championships, his still-problematic backstage behavior and his still-terrible in-ring ability earned him no friends in that division. When WWE learned that he was being investigated for a possible sexual assault and that he had kept it under wraps, he was released without any good wishes.

So now Cass is set to come back with seemingly no direction. Hopefully, he spent some time improving his mediocre in-ring work, else he ends up being just another bland big man who couldn't hang.
