5 Former NXT Superstars Who Might Get A Push And 5 Who Won't

There's no denying that one day WWE will be entirely dependent on Triple H's incredible vision, and the work he has done in creating the future through NXT.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

While many superstars have already made their transition to the main roster from NXT, a lot of them have failed miserably under Vince McMahon's wing.

Superstars that embodied everything that made NXT an excellent show are struggling to find their footing on the main roster, with Vince McMahon continuing to push the Roman Reigns Experiment.

Since superstars like Braun Strowman have been highly successful despite not competing in NXT, other talented competitors are finding it difficult to impress the Chairman and make a name for themselves.

With Roman Reigns dominating Monday Night Raw every single week, is there any way Vince McMahon will push anyone else to his level? Does the Boss really trust the stars that have been recruited from NXT? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 NXT superstars that Vince McMahon likes and 5 he might not give a good push.

#10 Likes - Elias

The Drifter is garnering tremendous attention

Ever since he stepped up to the main roster, a significant proportion of the WWE audience understood that Elias had everything in him to become a major star on Raw.

While he has been pushed tremendously, the Drifter is yet to be involved in a major feud that could legitimately boost his career and ascend him to a different level.

In case you didn't know, Vince McMahon sees a future world champion in Elias, and is considered to be one of his biggest fans.

The Chairman is delighted with the magnetic presence of the former NXT sensation and appreciates the vicious heat he receives wherever he cuts a promo.

Despite achieving less success under Triple H's wing, the Drifter was immediately brought up to the main roster and became a heel magnet. Significant altercations with John Cena, Finn Balor, Trish Stratus, and Seth Rollins have been remarkable.

There were also plans of him having a monumental concert with the Rock at WrestleMania, and while the plans fell through, Mr. McMahon still continues to 'Walk with Elias'.

#9 Might Not Give A Push - Tye Dillinger

Can you imagine a superstar who scratched and clawed to get his way to the top under Triple H merely playing second fiddle to R-Truth, a guy who WWE never actually pushed in the first place?

Well, under Vince McMahon's wing, organic babyfaces with stale characterization do not stand. Perhaps it is the 'Ruthless Aggression' that works for Mr. McMahon, and this is where Dillinger failed to impress the Boss.

He debuted on the main roster at Royal Rumble 2017 and blew the roof of the place with a loud crowd chanting 'Ten Ten'. However, it was all downhill from there.

The Chairman was never too pleased with his performance and thought he was not ready to become a significant element in his plans on the main roster.

He was literally buried at Royal Rumble 2018 when he was annihilated by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn before he could even make his entry into the Royal Rumble match.

Since that did hurt Dillinger's credibility, the man still roams directionless giving cameo appearances with R-Truth and Carmella. He might be the 'Perfect Ten' but his time under Vince McMahon's umbrella won't be perfect at all.

#8 Likes - Alexa Bliss

Despite being an average competitor between the ropes, there's no denying that Alexa Bliss possesses all the ingredients that have turned her into one of the biggest heels in the women's division.

A more significant reason for her incredible push is due to her outstanding mannerisms as a heel, and antics that could invoke any crowd to boo her.

Her feuds with Ronda Rousey, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax. and Bayley has been successful in portraying her as a chicken heel who continues to bash their opponents through her words.

Considering that she is the only superstar in the WWE to hold both Raw and SmackDown Women's Championship, she stands as a tough act to follow on both brands.

She definitely garners a lot of attention from the crowd and has pleased Vince McMahon and the entire management through her terrific characterization.

Since she's achieved such tremendous attention from the management, Vince McMahon certainly sees future in her and would continue to push her as a vicious heel.

#7 Might Not Give A Push - Sasha Banks

If there's a female competitor on the main roster that could produce a terrific encounter by being a heel against Ronda Rousey, it is Sasha Banks.

Perhaps the most talented yet underappreciated competitors in the entire industry, Sasha Banks never really grabbed the brass ring under Mr. McMahon's supervision.

The Chairman has never been really impressed with Banks and finds her too 'injury prone'. This could be a significant reason why Sasha Banks has not been part of any major storyline since 2017.

While a lot of the fans were wishing her to feud with Bayley last year, nothing of such sort happened, and they ended up teaming again.

There have also been speculations that Vince McMahon sees more money in Bayley than he does in Sasha, and that only justifies why the Boss is not a pivotal element on Monday Night Raw.

It's a damn shame that Banks has not been booked for any significant match at WWE's All Women PPV, Evolution.

Since the Boss has always been extremely versatile in the ring, it seems like she might not be a superstar that Vince McMahon would really push in the upcoming future.

#6 Likes - Kevin Owens

The Boss understands how valuable his Prizefighter is

While a majority of the WWE fans believe that Vince McMahon doesn't really believe in Kevin Owens, and would probably never consider him a major attraction on both brands.

However, this is not true. The Prizefighter has built a reputation for himself as the most uniquely gifted athletes that ever graced the world of professional wrestling.

Despite struggling to get to the WWE, Kevin Owens was allowed to make an immediate impact on Monday Night Raw when the former Universal Champion destroyed John Cena.

There's no denying that Mr. McMahon sees a genuine competitor in Kevin Owens, and also gave his character more edge when he allowed Owens to headbutt him and brutally assault him.

Things like this only justify how impressed Mr. McMahon really is from the former Universal Champion. While he has not been part of a major storyline this year, there are still rumors that WWE is literally considering pairing Owens with Paul Heyman.

If that's the case, then this could certainly turn a vicious heel into Kevin Owens into one of the biggest stars this industry has seen in a long, long time.

#5 Might Not Give A Push - Apollo Crews

Since Apollo Crews carries an agility that is touch to match between the ropes, the fans expected him to be a regular competitor on the main roster.

However, something like this never happened. Apollo Crews has always been positioned as a very confused competitor with no character, at all.

The Chairman doesn't see any benefit in pushing Apollo Crews and believes that he might never get over with the fans, due to his stale characterization and lack of personality.

WWE even removed his last name and turned him into Apollo but it's a damn shame that he has never been pushed on the main roster.

While the B-Team has got their hands on the Raw Tag-Team Championships, Titus O'Neil and Apollo Crews are merely used as jobbers to get over their opponents.

Despite being a gifted performer, there's no denying that Apollo Crews' time to grab Vince's imaginary brass ring might never come.

#4 Likes - Seth Rollins

Ever since Seth Rollins made his entry in the big leagues' with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, he was destined to achieve tremendous things in the business.

Being part of the most popular faction in recent memory, the Architect has literally dominated the company ever since turning on his brothers and delivering fantastic performances.

He is currently the strongest babyface on the main roster and has done so by pulling out all the stops and producing some of the finest matches in WWE recently.

His Gauntlet Match performance before Elimination Chamber 2018 remains one of the most special moments in his career, and the Architect continues to burn it down every week.

Being Triple H's guy since day one, Mr. McMahon legitimately sees money in Seth Rollins and would continue to push him to the top of the mountain.

Already a Grand-Slam Champion, it's hard to deny that Seth Rollins is the most successful superstar that transitioned from NXT under Triple H's radar.

#3 Might Not Give A Push - Bray Wyatt

The Dme — The Demented Cult Leader will never get his moment in the sun

After making a promising entry in the world of WWE, Bray Wyatt instantly made an impact by becoming one of the darkest characters to step foot in the WWE in a long, long time.

He was instantly compared with the likes of the Undertaker, Kane, and Mankind. However, despite carrying such tremendous potential, WWE never considered using him in the first place.

Triple H's admiration for Bray Wyatt and his character got him to the main roster, and while he did influence fans to care about his enigmatic behavior, Vince McMahon never really saw a star in him.

The Chairman has criticized the Eater of Worlds as being a bit sloppy in the ring, and also considers him 'out of shape'. The fact that Braun Strowman is heavily pushed than Bray Wyatt today only justifies what the Boss thinks of the former WWE Champion.

His excellent mic-work and madness got him to face John Cena and the Undertaker at WrestleMania, but Bray Wyatt eventually lost it and turned into a joke.

Whether Vince McMahon publicly admits it or not, Bray Wyatt remains one of the most underappreciated talents in the WWE today.

#2 Likes - Drew Mcintyre

Drew Mcintyre is becoming one of the most dominating men on the main roster despite failing to achieve his full potential during his initial tenure under Vince McMahon.

The Scottish Psychopath possesses all the ingredients to become the next big thing on Monday Night Raw, and Vince McMahon is genuinely pushing to the top, this time.

The rumor mill is constantly swirling with reports suggesting that Vince McMahon and Triple H are keen on being heavily involved with everything that Mcintyre does on the main roster.

Since he is dominating WWE's flagship show with Braun Strowman and Dolph Ziggler, he could certainly break out as a more compelling heel, and become a legitimate contender to dethrone Roman Reigns.

If there's a momentous time to push Drew Mcintyre to the top of the mountain, it is now, and it seems like Mr. McMahon will push the envelope with him as a future world champion.

#1 Might Not Give A Push - Bobby Roode

Perhaps being one of the most compelling heels down in NXT, Bobby Roode has been completely neglected on the main roster, as far as booking is concerned.

His heelish mannerisms earned him a substantial role under Triple H's radar but the same cannot be said about his main roster transition.

The Glorious One has struggled to make an impact ever since he entered the blue brand, with the hopes of becoming a main-event attraction.

Despite possessing all the ingredients to be a top star, Vince McMahon certainly does not believe in Roode's talent, and might never push him in the main-event picture.

Currently teaming up with Chad Gable on the main roster, the fans are genuinely disappointed with Bobby Roode's direction, and have lost all faith in his credibility.
