WWE: 10 Shocking Moments From Raw Which Have Changed Everything
3. Young And Golden
The NXT Generation have arrived and wasted little time in claiming most of the gold in the WWE. From Season 1 Rookie Daniel Bryan's rise to the WWE Championship to Paige's debut Diva's success - following Raw all four of the single's titles in the WWE are held by NXT graduates. When Batista returned and won the Royal Rumble, the WWE Universe restlessly scolded the locker room veterans for blocking the road to success for the next generation. But less than a few months later the title scene is made up of four 28 year olds, one 21 year old rookie and a 32 year old WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Add in Cesaro - another of sorts NXT graduate - the 33 year old relative newcomer who won the Andre the Giant Battle Royale, and the WWE title holders truly are collection of wrestling's bright young things. The young talent have arrived and have found success quick. What is shocking is the dominance those young superstars have showcased as champions, from long reigns to beating multiple opponents en route to glory. Young stars usually rise in time - the current crop of new talent have exploded onto the scene and snatched all the spoils along the way.
