10 Great WWE NXT Storylines You Don't Remember
10. Juice Eats "Crowe"
Juice Robinson and Sami Callihan are well-known for their exploits outside of WWE. However, both were in the NXT system in 2015, and they had a memorable segment that doubled as Callihan's on-screen NXT debut.
Playing his CJ Parker character, the man better known as Robinson stormed to the ring and staged a protest over not being booked on the recent TakeOver: Arrival. As he hung "caution" tape around the ring, a vignette aired advertising Solomon Crowe (Callihan), who was set to finally make his NXT TV debut after previous injury setbacks.
Crowe stormed the ring and destroyed Parker, and he did well enough to genuinely fire up the Full Sail crowd. He grabbed a microphone, said, "and now, we return to your regularly scheduled broadcast," and marched off.
If you're a historical completionist, you'll absolutely love watching this back. These are two guys who have drawn a fair bit of money in their careers, used in different ways that, as it turned out, neither was overly crazy about. There was never a payoff to this, but the Crowe buildup and debut were both well done and provided a solid introduction to a new character.
