10 NXT Wrestlers Who Will Never Make It To WWE's Main Roster
7. Sylvester Lefort
Despite having been trained by Lance Storm, Sylvester Lefort came to WWE as a manager, which, in this day and age, doesnt seem like something that would succeed on the main roster. Very few managers truly succeed these days; Paul Heyman works so well because hes a unique figure who does things his own way and doesnt always follow WWEs promo style, and Lana used her incredible appearance to attract attention towards her former charge Rusev. As a manager, Lefort hasnt accomplished anything significant in NXT. While he was once Rusevs manager and enjoyed a decent tag team run with Marcus Louis, Lefort never managed to shine in either the managerial role or as an actual wrestler. It also doesnt help that he hasnt appeared on NXT programming in quite some time. Whether its due to an injury or a lack of creative direction for him, his absence can only be taken as a negative sign for his future. Despite trying different things on NXT, he hasnt found anything that works. As a result, dont expect to see the Frenchman anywhere other than the curtain-jerker position on NXT should he ever return and have a meaningful creative direction.
