Every Wrestling Rookie Of The Year: Where Are They Now?
3. 2020: Pat McAfee
Pat McAfee was amazing in his debut match with Adam Cole. A flexing d*ckhead peacock who presented himself as the ultimate athlete, he then showed ass as the heel celebrity should. His personality was major league, so much so that it's no exaggeration to state that he was the highlight of the bleak, dank pit that was NXT in its pandemic era.
He was never quite as good on the main roster - he repeated the back flip spot as if nobody had seen it one too many times - but fared better as a commentator. WWE fans adored the bloke, anyway.
He got a more lucrative ESPN gig and left WWE last year.
