8 WWE Stars Who Need To Go Back To NXT

7. Dana Brooke

A simple case of a wrestler being called up to the main roster too quickly.

While her peers Alexa Bliss, Carmella and Nia Jax were given the time to learn and improve in NXT, meaning all three are now killing it on the main roster, Dana was very much just thrown to the wolves.

Brought in as Charlotte's sidekick to help her cheat to beat Natalya, Dana has a great look and plays the irritating heel heater role brilliantly.

However, in the ring, she still has a way to go.

Her brief feud with Bayley should have helped to bring out the best in her but the matches were dull and lifeless, with the finish to one of their Raw bouts completely screwed up when Dana failed to put her feet on the ropes for the dirty pin as planned.

It also doesn't help matters that, much like all of the female wrestlers outside of Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Bayley on the Raw roster, Dana is pretty lost in the shuffle on the big show.

During her time in NXT, Dana played the heel sidekick role to a tee alongside Emma and always came across as a threat at ringside. On Raw, sadly, she's lost her shine.

More time in NXT to improve her ring work and character would benefit Dana greatly.
