10 Best Ever NXT To WWE Call-Ups

As with The Wyatt Family, there are good reasons to classify The Shield as a single call-up. Roman, Seth and Dean all made the jump from NXT at exactly the same time, and remained a three-piece long into their main roster run.

Besides, even with each of them since capturing the world title individually (some, it must be said, with greater success than others), many of their most memorable main roster moments still arguably came before the split.

Take, for instance, their brilliant debut at Survivor Series 2012, where they emerged through the crowd as CM Punk's group of turtle-neck-wearing mercenaries, decimating Ryback and John Cena to help their boy retain his belt.

Over the months that followed, they arguably came closer than any WWE stable in history to replicating (if only slightly) the success of the nWo. When their entrance music sounded, you knew something big was about to go down - and that can't be said of many.
