Ranking WWE's First Ever NXT Class - From Worst To Best

40. Memo Montenegro

NXT Roster 2012

As El Hijo de Dos Caras, Memo Montenegro has worked frequently for a host of promotions since his 2013 WWE release. 

Now 12 years deep into his career, his time with NXT scans more as introduction into the industry rather than a period he'd associate as integral to his development. 

The run really didn't even have a chance to leave a mark on his career in the longterm - the son of Dos Caras and brother of Alberto Del Rio wrestled just eight times for the black and gold brand, lost all of the matches, and was officially an on-screen character for less than six months. 

This stands in stark contrast to the 350+ matches he's had since, including contests across the world for independents including WhatCulture Pro Wrestling.
