10 NXT Gimmicks That Are Too Goofy For WWE's Main Roster

These guys will need a makeover if they are to get over on RAW and Smackdown.

NXT has been a great thing for WWE programming. It allows fans to get to know upcoming WWE Superstars long before they make their Raw and Smackdown debuts. The fan following these wrestlers receive will help them immensely when it comes to finding an identity that will keep fans interested in seeing them perform each week. Lately, WWE has hit the Greenlight on three wrestlers with pretty goofy gimmicks: Adam Rose, Emma, and Bo Dallas. Each wrestler is good in the ring, and while they still need time to develop their characters, the gimmicks they currently have will need to be fixed up by WWE€™s creative team in order to cater towards what the average WWE fan wants to see. Adam Rose can party up a storm, Emma can play with a bubble gun, and Bo Dallas can make a single pun last for months, but these are not gimmicks that are going to be well preserved for years to come. It€™s not just these guys either; a lot of NXT wrestlers have gimmicks that are too ridiculous to last long in WWE programming. Here are just ten NXT wrestlers with gimmicks that, while fun to watch on a small scale WWE Network show, won€™t work at all when the time comes to pick a new face of the company.
