Ranking The Only Remaining Main Roster Stars From WWE’s FIRST EVER Performance Centre Class

One of the many to fail hard in the catastrophic original NXT, Byron's switch to the announce booth had afforded him a second life on the main roster despite only being marginally better at calling matches than he was having them.

Byron's suffered less in recent months thanks partly to the return of Jonathan Coachman on Monday Night Raw. Corey Graves' oppressive bully treatment of 'The Coach' on Monday leaves him spent the following night - both Tom Phillips and Saxton are subsequently saved a McMahon-mandated roasting as a result.
