#9 Tye Dillinger
I'm not sure if most fans truly understand just how long Tye Dillinger has been clawing his way towards an eye-catching position on the NXT roster. Dillinger actually got his first break in the WWE in 2006, when he was assigned to the then developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling.
He eventually got a little work on the watered down ECW roster in 2008, but soon after took his talents back to the indie scene. In 2013, Tye found his way back into the good books of the WWE when he was signed to an NXT contract.
Since returning, Dillinger has been a workhorse for the yellow brand. He's taken any and all matches and angles thrown his way. This guy is ready to go now, he just needs that small window of opportunity. At 35 years old, he needs a break sooner, rather than later.
