Skill, Honor and Heart are the three attributes that define Ember Moon. In NXT, Moon battled
her way to become NXT Women’s Champion putting away those who stood in her way with her devastating
but breath-taking Eclipse finisher.
However, she’s a prime example of a very talented NXT competitor who sadly floundered
when called up to the main roster. She suffered loss after loss as well as injuries which
kept her side-lined for months.
Moon made a surprise return to the yellow brand at NXT TakeOver 31 and went on to team
up with Shotzi Blackheart. It wasn’t long until the two captured the NXT Women’s Tag
Team Championships making Moon the first person to win both the NXT Women’s Championship
and the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships.
The narcissistic, selfie-loving model gimmick of Tyler Breeze looked to be an exciting prospect
during his days in NXT. Although he often came up short in matches, he had all the makings
of a top heel. However, like a lot of “homegrown” NXT talent, that all changed when he arrived
on the main roster.
That’s until the team of Breezango came along. The “Fashion Police” was born
and each week we were treated with weekly “Fashion Files” segments which were comedy gold.
Tyler Breeze was sent back to NXT where he became involved in a feud with The Velveteen Dream.
Shortly after, Breeze reunited with Fandango and the pair went on to win the NXT
Tag Team Championships, their first titles in the WWE believe it or not.
After competing on WWE Tough Enough, Mandy Rose made her in-ring televised singles debut
in NXT in September 2016 losing to Ember Moon. That would be her only singles match in NXT
before joining the main roster as part of Absolution.
Rose became involved in several storylines, most notably her romance storyline with Otis
which was a hit with the WWE Universe.
Rose went on team with Dana Brooke for a short while before making a surprise return to NXT
in July 2021. It is believed that Rose was traded from Raw to NXT in exchange for Aliyah.
When Samoa Joe arrived in NXT, you just knew that it spelled trouble for his opponents.
He bulldozed his way through competition and went on to become the first-ever two-time
NXT Champion.
Things could only go on the up from there, right? Wrong, as Joe never quite received
the same treatment when he was called up to the main roster. Injuries never helped his
cause either.
In a shocking turn of events, Samoa Joe was released from the WWE in April 2021 only to
be rehired a couple months later but in NXT, where he is now a history making three-time
NXT Champion.
They say that Finn Balor is an extra-ordinary man who can do extra-ordinary things and his
list of accomplishments prove that. In NXT, he achieved a record-setting run at the time
as NXT Champion and in his first pay-per-view match after getting called up to the main
roster, he became the first-ever Universal Champion… something he’s sure to remind
you of.
However, Balor had to sadly relinquish the Universal title due to injury less than 24
hours after winning it and from that point on, he was never was able to reach the top
of the ladder again.
Balor was able to revitalize his career by returning to NXT, where he went on to become
NXT Champion for a second-time before returning back to the main roster to challenge once
again for the title...
