Top 5 Most Underutilized NXT Superstars

#2 Deonna Purrazzo

Purrazzo is known as a Fujiwara armbar specialist

One of the most respected indie women wrestlers today, New Jersey native Deonna Purrazzo had already been on WWE's radar long before being signed to NXT. Unfortunately, the attention she initially received from the company was limited and she only scored gigs in short NXT and Smackdown squash matches, and as a second-string alternate in the first Mae Young Classic.

However, with the rise in attention paid to Japan's World of Stardom promotion and the relaunch of Ring of Honor's women's division, Purrazzo increased her profile in just one year, giving WWE the incentive to sign her up ahead of the second MYC, which she was prominently featured in.

In recent months, she has unfortunately been relegated to obscurity as the NXT women's division has gotten crowded. Whilst The Virtuoso Purrazzo is a very good in-ring technician and has a pleasing look for television, she seems to possess a fairly quiet demeanor and lacks the larger-than-life charisma that helps other stars stand out. This may be the reason for her unexplained absence as of late, but it's likely she could overcome this shortcoming if given the opportunity.
