5 Current WWE Superstars' NXT Win/Loss record: How many matches did Roman Reigns and Otis lose in NXT?

Around a decade ago, NXT was born, and the landscape of WWE changed forever. Initially a talent hunt show similar to WWE Tough Enough, NXT quickly became a mainstay in WWE and turned into a developmental brand.

The rise of NXT is an intriguing story, to say the least, and it's amazing how far NXT has come over the past 10 years. Now, it goes head to head with WWE's top two brands, RAW and SmackDown. Over the years, several top WWE Superstars honed their craft in NXT, before making their way to the big leagues. Most of today's WWE talent on RAW and SmackDown once had stints in NXT. In this list, we will take a look at five of WWE's biggest current Superstars and how they fared in NXT in terms of win/loss record.

#5 WWE Superstar Otis (121-89-2)

WWE SmackDown Superstar Otis has had quite a fulfilling 2020 so far. He kicked off a storyline with Mandy Rose, and things only blossomed between them as time passed. Sonya Deville and Dolph Ziggler tried to keep them apart, but the plan failed courtesy the SmackDown Mystery Hacker. Otis and Rose have been together since WrestleMania 36. Otis went on to win the Money in the Bank briefcase at the namesake pay-per-view, soon after WrestleMania.

Otis and Mandy Rose, unfortunately, are currently on separate brands. Back when Otis was in NXT, he was still in a tag team with Tucker, with the duo dubbing themselves Heavy Machinery. Now that Tucker is on RAW, Heavy Machinery is history. In NXT, Otis had quite a mix of wins and losses in his bag. The heavyweight won 121 matches, and lost 89, with two bouts ending in a draw. Otis' winning percentage stood at 57.08, which is pretty good considering he was not a main event act back in NXT.

#4 WWE Superstar Asuka (187-3-5)

Asuka wasn't handled well after her move from NXT, and her loss to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34 kicked off a bad patch that hurt her standing in WWE. Thankfully, WWE somehow managed to make Asuka relevant again, and she is currently holding the RAW Women's title on the Red brand. She has faced a string of top women Superstars on both RAW and SmackDown, and has scored impressive wins over most of them. If we talk about her NXT stint, things only get more impressive.

Back in NXT, Asuka kicked off her legendary winning streak, which eventually solidified her as one of the best Superstars in recent memory. Asuka kept running roughshod over a string of NXT female Superstars, and held on to her NXT Women's title belt for a long time. With a mind-blowing winning percentage of 95.9, Asuka lost only three matches back in NXT, and five were draws. She didn't manage to replicate the same success upon her NXT exit, but Asuka is still going quite well.

#3 WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre (63-11-1)

WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is one of the biggest Superstars in the industry today, and his road to success wasn't an easy one. McIntyre's first stint in WWE ended badly, as he spent his final years as a lower-card Superstar. He parted ways with WWE in 2014 and improved himself drastically over the next three years. Upon his return to WWE in 2017, Drew McIntyre was sent to NXT initially.

In NXT, McIntyre soon won the brand's top title, and fans were behind him like never before. In NXT, Drew McIntyre's win/loss record is certainly something to be proud of. The Scottish Psychopath won a grand total of 63 matches in NXT, while he lost only 11, with one match ending in a draw. His winning rate is 84%. Upon his move to RAW, McIntyre didn't do much of note for the next year or so. It all changed when he won the 2020 Royal Rumble match, earlier this year. McIntyre put down Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania to bag the WWE title and hasn't been defeated for the same ever since.

#2 WWE Superstar The Fiend (12-9-0)

The Fiend, or Bray Wyatt, is one of the most intriguing entities the WWE Universe has ever witnessed. Wyatt spent a long time in FCW and NXT, after his failed stint on the main roster as Husky Harris. Back then, The Wyatt Family was born, and the trio eventually made their way to RAW in 2013. Somehow, WWE didn't do justice to the character and his star soon began fizzling out. In 2019, Wyatt was repackaged as The Fiend, and the rest is history. He soon won the Universal title by defeating Seth Rollins in Saudi Arabia.

Back in NXT, Bray Wyatt surprisingly didn't have much of an impressive record. His NXT run didn't last long and he won a total of 12 matches during his stint. He also registered nine losses, with zero draws. In contrast, The Fiend is one of the most protected Superstars in WWE today. He was recently drafted to WWE RAW and is all set to instill fear into the mind of whoever comes in his way on the Red brand.

#1 WWE Superstar Roman Reigns (14-1-0)

'The Tribal Chief' Roman Reigns is currently the biggest heel in all of WWE. He worked as Leakee in Florida Championship Westling and later formed The Shield with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. The trio had a short stint in NXT before they were moved to the main roster in late 2012. The Shield soon became the biggest faction in WWE and was incredibly popular among the fans despite being heels. Following The Shield's implosion in 2014, all members won World titles at some point in the careers.

Much like Asuka, Roman Reigns had an incredible record in NXT. The key difference between the win/loss record of both Superstars is that Reigns wrestled a handful of matches, contrary to Asuka who wrestled almost 200 bouts. Reigns wrestled only 15 matches in NXT and won 14 of those. He would go on to become one of the most protected Superstars in WWE and would headline four consecutive WrestleMania shows against WWE's biggest Superstars. Now that he is a ruthless heel, things are only going to get better for Reigns in the near future.
