Assessing Future Of 10 WWE Stars Who Didn’t Make Royal Rumble 2017 Cut 

10. Tony Nese

Fans who tune into 205 Live will recall seeing Nese use a running knee strike in the aftermath of his loss to T.J Perkins. That move appears to be the Cruiserweight star's new finisher.

Once again, Nese used the knee successfully and pinned Ali within four minutes. At least for the next month or so, it looks likes Nese will benefit from some focus on Raw and 205 Live. Larger than many of his Cruiserweight peers, the man has clear potential, and could feasibly move up the ranks away from the high-flying division in the future.

In the immediate future, it looks like Nese is being built as a secondary heel to Neville in the Cruiserweight division. Then, once the Englishman loses the belt to a babyface, Nese will be poised to strike - and perhaps claim the title as his own.
