10 Wrestlers Failed By NXT

10. Sylvester Lefort

Sylvester Lefort’s NXT career suggests that WWE never quite knew what to do with him. Probably best known for teaming with Marcus Louis and briefly feuding with Enzo and Big Cass, Lefort also had a brief alliance with Jason Jordan and spent time managing Rusev and Billie Kay before his release.

Unfortunately, it felt like Lefort was always there before the big break. When he and Rusev went their separate ways, Rusev moved on to form a relationship with Lana which would take him to the main roster. Not long after teaming with Lefort, Jordan would form one half of American Alpha and take the tag division by storm.

All of this led to Lefort eventually getting released from his contract earlier this year, and he has now – like many before him – crossed the line into TNA to join Al Snow’s JOB Squad… em, The Tribunal.

You can only hope that unlike WWE, TNA figures out the best way to utilise his obvious talents.
