Many former WWE stars who make a comeback often return to the main roster, but some find a perfect fit in NXT. Several returning talents currently have active storylines in the Performance Center or hold status as fan favorites, making them valuable assets for developing the next generation in NXT. Here are six ex-WWE stars who might sign with NXT.
6. Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder)
After making his return to the main roster as Zack Ryder during the Last Time Is Now Tournament on SmackDown, Matt Cardona still has room to grow in NXT. Recently seen competing in a singles match on NXT, Cardona’s skills might be best showcased by joining the NXT roster full-time. He already has established chemistry within the brand through his fun, playful interactions with several on-screen characters. With his real-life wife Chelsea Green partnered on-screen with Ethan Page, a dramatic rivalry between Page and Cardona could be a compelling storyline.
Fan Take: This potential move is exciting for WWE fans because it signals a fresh chapter for talented stars like Matt Cardona to shine and grow within NXT. It also promises engaging storylines that could elevate the brand and keep the wrestling community invested in its evolving narratives.
