Tye Dillinger had such a long run within WWE developmental that he predates NXT. Within his two Royal Rumble appearances, Dillinger has proven to be a popular WWE Superstar, given the massive response that comes in the form of "the 10 chant."

During the WrestleMania 34 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, he was involved with a memorable "10 spot," even if he was eliminated by its winner Matt Hardy.
Within the past year, Dillinger has found himself challenging for the United States Championship, but in recent months he has not been doing much. There have not been any major feud or title matches for Dillinger, who remains part of the SmackDown roster.
As with the aforementioned Kanellis, Dillinger is undoubtedly someone that could fill a variety of roles. He would work out well within 205 Live -- who knows how legitimate the stated weights of WWE Superstars are -- or a new tag team, just as he would a singles feud that played off of him being "the perfect 10." In fact, with a gimmick like that, the creative pretty much writes itself.
