#5. Xyon Quinn and Trick Williams have been used differently in NXT 2.0.

While both have been featured in NXT 2.0, Trick Williams and Xyon Quinn have had different paths thus far.

Williams talks a lot and debuted as an ally of Carmelo Hayes. He has competed in a couple of matches alongside Hayes. His limited time has shown that his bark is a lot louder than his bite. Williams even helped Hayes win the NXT North American title.

His role in the Halloween Havoc Haunted House segment with Johnny Gargano and Dexter Lumis was his best work. Being scared in that segment showed his personality to the NXT Universe. It did more for him than his rambling promos.

Working alongside Hayes should only help Williams going forward. For now, he still needs a good deal of work. He has the athletic ability and should be able to put it all together in the near future.

Quinn, on the other hand, has been pushed as a singles star. He has a good look, is explosive, and could be a big player in the future. While he hasn't defeated many stars of note, he has battled Legado Del Fantasma. He lost, however, when Santos Escobar returned.

Elektra Lopez had tried to recruit Quinn to Legado Del Fantasma but he rebuffed her advances. His love/hate relationship with Lopez has been interesting. Could it lead to a face turn for La Madrina? Or will she continue to attack Quinn since he didn't accept her offer?

The Samoan Ghost also showed a comedic side when he had a dance-off with Robert Stone. Fans either loved it or hated it, but it was an interesting side to show of an otherwise ultra-serious person.

Quinn has potential but needs more seasoning. Most stars in NXT 2.0 need more seasoning, but Quinn's star power is evident.

Grade for Williams: C; Grade for Quinn: B-
