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.

#7 The Wyatt Family

It's pretty
It's actually pretty impressive how WWE has managed to completely mishandle these three superstars in different ways.

It's hard to call Bray Wyatt a complete failure, as he is a former WWE Champion. Still, it's pertinent to note that he went from being one of the most compelling characters in recent memory to being a glorified punchline. But it's not just him - it's the whole original Wyatt Family.

Needless to say, WWE's booking of the Wyatt Family has been...disjointed. They started off imposing enough but were soon fed to bigger stars such as CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. But Bray's three consecutive pay-per-view losses to John Cena were the first nails in the coffin for the group. Suddenly, this ominous and supernatural group of bearded Southerners seemed like pushovers.

Then Bray "set them free," leaving all three of them directionless. Luke Harper had a forgettable run with the Intercontinental Title, Erick Rowan became a lacklustre babyface with Spyro the Dragon-esque entrance music, and Bray inexplicably lost to The Undertaker at WrestleMania 31, despite repeatedly implying that he would usurp his throne. Months later, they were back together, only this time they added Braun Strowman. They were then buried by The Rock at WrestleMania 32, and a series of injuries killed Wyatt's momentum.

Now, Harper and Rowan ditched their first names and became the hammer-wielding Bludgeon Brothers, while Bray is still struggling in directionless feuds and cutting increasingly nonsensical promos. How did we get here?
