10 WWE NXT Superstars You Totally Don't Remember

10. Bailey Pierce

Don't worry, Seth Rollins isn't the focal point of this entry! Check the fella next to him. That's current TNA and ex-AEW man Ryan Nemeth on the left. He scored a WWE developmental deal in 2011, then debuted on an early episode of NXT TV in June 2012. His role? Backstage interviewer extraordinaire.

Nemeth's WWE-ified name was Bailey Pierce. Yep, another one from the developmental name generator there. Pierce asked the easy questions of emerging stars like Rollins, but would find his way into the ring eventually. Like buses, all of his matches came along at once - Pierce worked three bouts on the same set of NXT tapings in May 2013.

Poor lad must've been knackered, but excited.

Dolph Ziggler/Nic Nemeth's brother didn't really get any higher than that in WWE's system though. He was released in late-May (before some of his taped bouts had aired). Ryan was surely hoping he'd turn the announcer job into something bigger. That kinda happened, but only for a cup of coffee.
