Ranking the Top 10 NXT Alumni of the decade

#10 Bray Wyatt

A lengthy run as Universal Champion and The Fiend could climb the Rankings

Bray Wyatt is the hottest act in professional wrestling right now, but it's a far cry from the first time we saw him. Wyatt joined NXT in 2010, but back then he was known as Husky Harris. Much of his early tenure was spent toiling in the group called Nexus, until Randy Orton punted him in the skull and figuratively back to FCW.

What makes Wyatt so successful though is his ability to reinvent himself. In 2012 he re-debuted as the demented cult leader the WWE Universe grew to love and sing along with. He had a fair amount of success, but never reached the heights many fans hoped he would. Wyatt worked programs with a number of the company's top stars including John Cena and The Undertaker. More often than not he would lose, and the mystique soon wore off.

Wyatt's biggest career achievement, prior to this year, came when he won the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber 2017. However, he lost the title just a few weeks later to Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33.

Career Highlights:

• Universal Champion
• WWE Champion
• SmackDown Tag Team Champion
• RAW Tag Team Champion

Despite reaching the top of the WWE mountain, Wyatt was not on track to make this list. That was until he went to his dark place and reinvented himself once again. He debuted earlier this year as The Fiend, a sick and twisted horror movie type career with unbelievable strength and drive to torture his enemies.

Wyatt defeated Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel to claim his first Universal Championship, and is reportedly set for a length run with the Title. Next up is his match Sunday against Daniel Bryan at Survivor Series.
