Ranking Every NXT Call-Up From Worst To Best

Except you can, by one. Just how do you measure Roman Reigns' success? Until the sobering realities of his leukaemia recurrence intervened to put everything into context, Reigns was arguably the least popular WWE superstar since John Cena at his pomp.

The victim of Dave Meltzer outing him as Vince McMahon's chosen one, absolutely nothing the company has tried has succeeded in getting the majority of fans on board the Roman Express. Headlining four consecutive WrestleManias only engendered resentment, not respect.

Fact is, no NXT graduate can be more 'successful' than Roman; if WWE has learned anything from the fiasco, they'll think twice about pushing his successor quite so hard, and quite so uncompromisingly. Maybe.
