10 NXT Rookies WWE Called Up Too Early

There is little question that Dana Brooke, a former bodybuilder and fitness competitor, boasts the sort of raw athleticism you need to make a fist of things on WWE's main roster.

Having taken her first professional steps in the ring just four years ago, however, Dana has been thrust into the Monday Night Raw limelight before she has really had the chance to develop her skills between the ropes.

She's learning on the job, in other words, and while that isn't necessarily a recipe for disaster - Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar spring immediately to mind - female performers like Alicia Fox and Michelle McCool have in the past found it difficult to change minds after their rocky starts.

Dana now has to fight against the perception that she was called up on the basis of her looks, which simply seems unfair given that there were colleagues further along in their development who could have taken her now wasted spot as Charlotte's protege last year.
