10 WWE NXT Stars Who Vanished Without A Trace

4. The Ealy Brothers

Of all of the names featured here, Gabriel and Uriel Ealy clearly had the least amount of TV time during their stint in NXT, yet the brothers are a duo that stick in the mind of many a fan of the black and gold brand.

A couple of shredded 300 lbs identical twins, it was hard not to be immediately wowed by the Ealy Brothers, if not at least purely from a visual standpoint.

It also helps that when this tandem was featured on NXT programming, they got to mix it up with some of the biggest tag teams that the brand has ever seen - such as the Street Profits, the Authors of Pain, SAnitY and TM-61.

All of those matches ended in defeat for Gabriel and Uriel, and they were in the NXT system for three years by the time the twins were split up in 2018. That break up came after Uriel Ealy was given his WWE release, reportedly due to a persistent injury issue.

Uriel's WWE exit came in June of that year, with Gabriel following him out of the exit door just four months later. Neither Ealy has wrestled since before their respective NXT releases, and it looks like the twins are completely done with the wrestling business.
