5 WWE Superstars who were promoted from NXT too soon

#1. Current WWE Superstar Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans was recently forced to take leave from WWE programming after announcing that she was pregnant with her second child. The former NXT star was promoted alongside the likes of Lars Sullivan and Nikki Cross back in January 2019, making her debut on RAW.

Evans was one of the stars that WWE looked to push right away but it was clear that she wasn't ready for the spotlight. The "Sassy Southern Belle" began the 2019 Royal Rumble match alongside Natalya and botched several moves throughout the match, further proving that she wasn't ready for her push.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Luckily, in the years that have followed, Evans has been able to find her feet on both RAW and SmackDown and was finally set to win the RAW Women's Championship last month before she was forced to the sidelines.

Hopefully, when Evans makes her return to the company, she will be able to pick up where she left off in her feud with Charlotte Flair earlier this year.
