Every WWE NXT Call-Up In 2017: Ranked From Worst To Best
6. Tye Dillinger
There was a time when Tye Dillinger's "10!" chants dominated arenas around the country, regardless of whether or not the former NXT man was even on the show. Sadly, those days are now long gone.
'The Perfect 10' has seen his interest levels nosedive through main roster inactivity, having barely been used since officially joining SmackDown in April. Dillinger drew a monster pop after entering the Royal Rumble at number 10. WWE should've called him up there and then, but they held off, and the buzz started cooling.
Regardless, he made a solid enough start after eventually going full-time. Tye embarked upon a textbook jobber-squashing spree, and drifted on and off television thereafter, occasionally flirting with United States Title contendership. His biggest moment came through facing Baron Corbin and AJ Styles, but their Triple Threat bout was also the last time Tye worked a televised match.
Absent since October 8th, it's clear WWE have no place for the multi-talented 'Perfect 10,' even on the midcard. A huge shame, as he's as skilled as anyone outside the company's top talent tier and people genuinely want to root for him.
