WWE News: WWE runs a poll asking the WWE Universe which NXT call-up has impressed the most
What's the story?
WWE.com ran a recent poll asking which former NXT Superstar has impressed the WWE Universe the most since their call-up to the main roster. For most of the call-ups, they have been on the main roster for nearly a month now.
In case you didn't know...
The WWE sees the point after WrestleMania as a reset period for the roster. This is a time where the most NXT call-ups are made, sometimes on the Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live right after WrestleMania, and some on the Superstar Shakeup that is typically the following week after.
The heart of the matter...
The poll options consisted of The IIconics (Peyton Royce and Billie Kay), The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar), Drew McIntyre, No Way Jose, and Andrade 'Cien' Almas.
Leading the way with an impressive 52% of the vote is Drew McIntyre who has made an impact along with Dolph Ziggler on Monday Night Raw in a group informally known as The Show.
The other four options were fairly close in the rest of the voting at the time of this writing. Second place was Andrade 'Cien' Almas at 16%, followed by No Way Jose (14%), Authors of Pain (10%), and The IIconics (8%).

What's next?
The WWE Superstars will return to the United States starting with the next edition of Monday Night Raw that takes place from the Times Union Center in Albany, New York. SmackDown Live will take place from the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Author's take...
I fully agree with the WWE Universe on having McIntyre leading the way on this poll. He's done an amazing job since being paired up with Dolph Ziggler.
I was surprised that the IIconics were last on the list because I think they have done a tremendous job as well. Maybe it's a testament to how annoying they are, but it is by design.
I was also surprised by Almas getting the second most votes when he just made his SmackDown Live debut this week.
