Ranking WWE's First Ever NXT Class - From Worst To Best
15. Judas Devlin
The somewhat unremarkable Judas Devlin gimmick couldn't be further apart from the persona that eventually brought the former developmental prospect to the fore in 2019.
His FCW/NXT stint between 2012 and 2013 didn't reveal a glimpse of the meteoric rise he'd experience in a mainstream national promotion, with most matches ending in defeat against the likes of Sawyer Fulton, Mike Dalton and Derrick Batemen. His black-and-gold was made extinct with a house show loss, further emphasising how little ground he'd been able to game within the WWE system.
It'd take seven more years across independents across the world and a drastic gimmick upgrade to help him reach his most prosperous destination.
As Luchasaurus and later Killswitch, he rocked the wrestling world in a cameo at All Elite Wrestling's inaugural Double Or Nothing pay-per-view, and has been a prominent and distinguishing feature of AEW ever since.
