WWE NXT: 10 Best Non-Indy Wrestlers

11. Honorary Mention: The Women

I can't talk about the best wrestlers in NXT without bringing up the women.

Since day one the likes of Paige, Emma and Summer Rae (she can work when they let her!) established a new generation of womens wrestling that put every Diva on the main roster to shame.

The division has only grown stronger with the evolution of Charlotte, Bayley, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks (quite possibly the best in-ring worker in WWE today). The womens match has deservedly taken Match of the Night honors from every TakeOver event - with the recent Bayley vs Banks match in Brooklyn considered WWEs best match of 2015.

All of NXTs women are home-grown. Sure Paige has been wrestling for half her life, and the rest have all wrestled elsewhere, but none of them gained any notable mainstream exposure that the rest of the roster enjoyed. Perhaps the best known womens wrestler outside of WWE is their trainer, Sara "Del Ray" Amato. 

The former Chikara, Shimmer and ROH star is one of the greatest female wrestlers of modern times, and a huge part of why the NXT Womens division is as good as it is.

It wouldn't be fair to include the women in this list as I'd end up giving them all the top spots.
