10 NXT Stars That Have Been Squandered

10. Blue Pants

Leva Bates has long been an in-demand performer from independent promotions that found it beneficial to feature women's wrestling as an entree instead of a novelty act. Her simplistic 'Blue Pants' name was borne out of an impromptu joke from Enzo and Cass, and Full Sail crowds immediately recognized the prolific and quirky Bates from her comprehensive indy career.

Initially used as something of an enhancement trainer for Carmella, Bates was receiving 'Blue Pants' chants from the vociferous crowds at the tapings, and was more popular than a number of the showcase performers.

Sadly, Bates never really outgrew her initial intention as a supplement, and found herself on the outs with WWE after reports of public misconduct on the weekend of SummerSlam 2015.
