5 stars who struggled in NXT but are soaring on the main roster

#3 Carmella

Carmella has been one of the biggest shocks to come from NXT

So, when Carmella arrived on the main roster, there were a lot of question marks over her head.

Although she did have her fair share of singles matches in NXT and even had a shot at the NXT Women's Championship, Carmella never quite reached the top and was often seen as just being the eye candy for Enzo Amore and Big Cass - so the WWE Universe was pretty shocked when Carmella was drafted to SmackDown when Enzo and Cass had been drafted to RAW.

If anything, though, Carmella has been the most successful of the three. While Enzo had his share of success, he's no longer with the company, and Cass is currently on the sidelines with an injury. Carmella looks better than ever before, though.

Carmella has established herself as one of SmackDown's top female talents, she currently holds the Money In The Bank briefcase and has proven she can hang with the likes of Nikki Bella in the ring, not to mention having a very entertaining run with a certain James Ellsworth.

In fact, The Princess of Staten Island could very well be the next SmackDown Women's Champion if she can cash in her contract successfully - in a move that would undoubtedly eclipse anything she achieved in her NXT career.
