10 Bizarre WWE NXT Feuds Fans Don’t Remember

Some NXT feuds just didn't land with audiences, mostly because they were odd and forgettable.

Seeing all the talent in NXT, it's impossible not to think about who will be next to get the call to the main roster. Surely, there will be some NXT wrestlers who will go to the main roster in 2024, but they can't all go, so other wrestlers will have to stay in NXT for a while longer.

After His Improvement, Baron Corbin Will Go Back To The Main Roster

After multiple failures on the main roster, Baron Corbin was sent back to NXT to reinvent himself, or just find a way to be entertaining and relevant. So far, he's done a good job in NXT, his matches have been good, and he's done good character work. So, if Corbin maintains his current level, there could be a place for him on the main roster in the second half of 2024.

Blair Davenport is very talented.
She has above-average in-ring skills.
Davenport needs to develop her character.

Blair Davenport is very talented, her in-ring skills are outstanding, and she is charismatic, which allows her to connect with the fans easily. However, she is not yet ready to go to the main roster. She needs to develop her character and her mic skills more, and she also needs to perfect her storytelling. But she has time to improve, as she is 27 years old. It's hard to see Davenport on the main roster in 2024, but maybe we'll see her make the jump in 2025.

7 Won't Go To The Main Roster In 2024: Trick Wlliams

Trick Williams Has The Potential To Be A Top Superstar, But He Is Not Ready For The Main Roster

Trick Williams is amazing.
He has the “It” Factor.
Williams needs more in-ring experience.

Trick Williams came to WWE in 2021 and, despite his little experience, he is already very good. He is extremely charismatic, has outstanding promo skills and has the “it” factor that makes him stand out. However, it is too early to call Williams to the main roster, as he is still green in some aspects, including in-ring skills. He has talent, but needs more in-ring experience before competing in the majors. But if Williams continues to improve at the rate he has so far, we could see him on the main roster in 2025.

6 Main Roster In 2024: Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker Is Main Roster-Bound Sooner Rather Than Later

Bron Breakker started his pro wrestling career in 2021.
His in-ring style is fun to watch.
He can play both a heel and a babyface.

Bron Breakker is one of the most impressive wrestlers in NXT. His intense and powerful in-ring style is a lot of fun to watch, and his Spear is one of the most lethal out there, but the most impressive thing about Breakker is how quickly he has adapted and how much he has improved. In case you forgot, he started his pro wrestling career in 2021, and he's already had several great matches and has proven he can play both a heel and a babyface. So, it would not be surprising if he receives the call-up in 2024.

5 Won't Go To The Main Roster In 2024: Lola Vice

Lola Vice Has Made an Impact in a Short Time

Lola Vice made her WWE debut in 2022.
Over a year later, she became popular.
She must improve her mic skills.

Lola Vice made her WWE debut in 2022, and over a year later she has already made an impact in NXT. In fact, fans talk a lot about her, not only about her physique, but also praise her work. Her in-ring skills are good, and her arsenal of moves is great because she capitalizes on her MMA and taekwondo background. Nevertheless, Vice is still green, she must improve her promo-cutting skills, and she still doesn’t know how to tell a story in the ring. That’s why Lola Vice won’t go to the main roster in 2024.

4 Main Roster In 2024: Ilja Dragunov

Ilja Dragunov Has Earned A Spot On The WWE Main Roster

He should go to the main roster as soon as he drops the NXT Title.

3 Won't Go To The Main Roster In 2024: Andre Chase

Andre Chase Still Doesn’t Have What It Takes To Be On The WWE Main Roster

Andre Chase has an entertaining gimmick.
His in-ring work is average.
He needs to improve his game in order to reach the major leagues in the future.

Andre Chase is a very entertaining character, and his segments are good most of the time, but his gimmick is something that perhaps doesn't fit the main roster. Also, Chase's in-ring work is nothing special, and he's never had a memorable match. So, Andre Chase doesn't have what it takes to move up to the main roster, at least not in 2024.

However, Henley is still green in many ways, and needs to stay in NXT to slowly develop.
