#5 Byron Saxton
It may come as a surprise to learn that current RAW commentator Byron Saxton was a wrestler on NXT. He was a part of Season 4, having spent a few months as a commentator on ECW before NXT took its place. Saxton was mentored by Chris Masters before Dolph Ziggler became his new pro by winning a battle royal to earn the chance to choose a new rookie.
However, Saxton would end up being the third competitor out of six to be eliminated. That did not spell the end of his in-ring days, as Saxton was a part of the following season as well, named NXT Redemption, this time being mentored by Yoshi Tatsu. He was eliminated from the show fairly quickly though.
Byron Saxton eventually transitioned back into an announcing role, contributing as the play-by-play commentator on the relaunched NXT in 2012. He gradually made his way to RAW and SmackDown, having been a part of the commentary teams on all three WWE brands.
Despite being the butt of several jokes among his colleagues, Saxton is an underrated and valuable member of WWE's broadcast team.
