24 Then & Now Pics Of WWE Stars In NXT
Long live Baron Corbin's hair, Bray Wyatt's Hawaiian shirts and Nikki Cross' weirdness...
It's amazing to look at WWE's current roster ranks and count just how many men and women cut their teeth in NXT first.
Forget the lengthy list of promotional failures for now, because there are loads of names who did find success on the main roster (if it's still called that with NXT's move to the USA Network), and a lot more who are still rocking it on both Raw and SmackDown today.
This gallery is comprised of 'Before & After' images of those talents, including Becky Lynch, Bayley, Roman Reigns, Baron Corbin, Bray Wyatt and more. It's fascinating to see how these people have changed over the years, often for the better.
Prepare for dodgy ring attires, under-confident stares, complete overhauls and new gimmicks. Triple H would be proud of these guys, both for catching everyone's attention during early years in NXT and putting up with Vince McMahon's quirks after leaving the brand behind.
Who knows, maybe another gallery like this will pop up in a few years for current NXT stars like Velveteen Dream, Shayna Baszler, Adam Cole, Candice LeRae and Bianca Belair...
