15 Best WWE Debuts For NXT Stars

6. Neville

Another recent call-up to the main roster, Neville came in red hot starting on the Raw after WrestleMania. The Man that Gravity Forgot has spent his first two months on the roster dazzling crowds with his aerial assaults, but he also has gotten a chance to compete in a couple longer matches to show he€™s got more than just flashy moves. The high points in Neville€™s brief WWE career includes a 15-minute bout where he went toe-to-toe with John Cena for the United States Championship, almost beating him with the Red Arrow before Rusev interfered (more on the Bulgarian Brute in a bit). Neville also made it to the finals of the abbreviated King of the Ring tournament, showing that WWE has some confidence in him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0QN0YAQYWk Recently, Neville was saddled with a mini-feud with fellow NXT alumnus Bo Dallas (whom Neville beat for the NXT Championship), but The Man That Gravity Forgot won that feud handily. It really is a shame that both secondary titles are held by faces (Cena and IC champ Ryback), because that would be a good chase for Neville right now. Hopefully, WWE won€™t have him drifting from one aimless feud to another. Neville has a ton of talent and potential, and if WWE uses him properly, he could be a fixture on Raw for some time.
