10 WWE NXT Superstars You Totally Don't Remember

4. Dan Matha

WWE drafted up a deal for big Dan Matha in late-2015, and he'd report to the Performance Center before hitting the NXT brand in 2016. You probably don't remember him for anything he achieved on the third brand. His claim to fame was getting smashed around the place by a fired up Samoa Joe. Yep, that's it.

Except for his totally random main roster run.

A lot of fans have surely forgotten all about that as well. Matha was handed a spot in 2018's 50-man Greatest Royal Rumble over in Saudi Arabia despite not doing anything of note on NXT. Admittedly, once Vince McMahon had taken a look at him in Saudi, Dan didn’t do anything after that either.

Matha entered the so-called "Greatest" Rumble as #40 and lasted just two minutes before being tossed over the top rope by eventual winner Braun Strowman. After that cameo, Dan went back to working the NXT live event circuit and hoped for another big break.

It didn't come. He left WWE in 2020.
