10 WWE NXT Flops Who Should Have Been Huge

10. Raquel Diaz

Professional wrestling is built on the names of its greatest dynasties, and some of the sport’s most decorated performers have come from their family’s second or third generation. Guys like Terry Funk and Randy Orton have built outstanding careers on their pedigree, but while coming from a celebrated bloodline certainly helps a wrestler break into the business, staying there is a lot harder, as Raquel Diaz found out.

Born in El Paso, Texas, she is the eldest daughter of Vickie and Eddie Guerrero, making her a part of one of the sport’s most decorated ancestries. Her time in WWE developmental was full of ups and downs, however. Debuting in 2010, she starred in FCW, holding the territory’s Divas Championship for 197 days, and maintained a strong televised presence following the NXT re-branding in 2012.

Guerrero was granted her release to attend school that September, but returned the following year. The second run didn’t last, and she was gone by April 2014, having not made a single televised appearance. An eating disorder reportedly prompted her decision, and Diaz’s incredible pedigree has since gone to waste, as she hasn’t wrestled after leaving WWE.
