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

47. Garrett Dylan

NXT Roster 2012

A familiar story for many at the wrong end of a list like this, Garrett Dylan's wrestling career has more meat on the bone outside of WWE's walls than within them. 

He found a serviceable run across the North American independent scene between 2008 and 2019 as Jody Kristofferson, but his 2012-2013 FCW/NXT run was made up of tag teams win that got him nowhere and 50/50 singles booking that held him back further than that.

Of note, he traded wins with future Revival/FTR man Scott Dawson/Dax Harwood, though their growth as a team was stunted when they lost a Tag Team Title #1 Contendership match to Corey Graves and Kassius Ohno on a May edition of the NXT telecast.

He was released just weeks later, and outside of a handful of 2014 enhancement duties right as the black-and-gold brand was becoming the most celebrated show in wrestling, he didn't trouble the market leader again.
