Best NXT Imports In WWE History
Over the past few years, NXT has evolved into a major unit of WWE with budding talent using it as a launch pad for further success in the business and veteran wrestlers using NXT to transition into the mainstream business of WWE. Photos of Triple H, widely recognized as the brains behind NXT along with NXT imports-turned champions on the main rosters being prevalent over the past few years, it is fair to say that WWE depends on the NXT.
A number of superstars and tag-teams have competed in the developmental rosters with the likes of Samoa Joe and Bayley gathering a huge following due to their efforts there. Even superstars like Cesaro, Rusev, colour commentator Corey Graves and former Smackdown Live GM Paige were all part of NXT during their careers. We take a look at the best NXT imports taking into account their success in terms of championships and fan following.
#5 Becky Lynch
The Man" has taken WWE by storm since turning heel and hasn't looked back since. She is arguably the hottest talent on both RAW and Smackdown Live but she was a prodigy in NXT when she was considered to be one of the four women dubbed as "Four Horsewomen", who were acknowledged with bringing about a change in women's wrestling with quality matches.
Becky Lynch was Smackdown Live's first female pick in the 2016 draft and subsequently was the first ever Smackdown Women's Champion as well. Since then, Becky has been ever present in the Smackdown Live roster along with Carmella and Naomi.
While she has endured her fair share of ups and downs during the last couple of years, 2018 saw her winning her second Smackdown Women's Championship and revel in the spotlight with career-defining matches against the likes of Charlotte Flair and Asuka along with a supposed feud with Ronda Rousey that could see her take on "The Baddest Woman on the Planet" at Wrestlemania 35.
