Brian Kendrick, who was trained by Shawn Michaels (who also trained Daniel Bryan in the same class) had a lengthy run in the WWE in the 2000’s where he displayed a multi-faceted skill set and was one half of the longest Smackdown World Tag Team Championship with Paul London.  When he went solo as “The Brian Kendrick” it was thought that he would breakout to the upper card but he was instead shortly released. 

Finally arriving to NXT a year shy of his 40th birthday, Bobby Roode immediately made an “impact” (pun intended) in his new home.  Roode had already proved for years in TNA that he was an incredible talent who deserved a main event spot there and could be a large fish in any bond.  If he keeps up this “glorious” pace, the WWE Hall of Fame is a distinct possibility.

Longtime wrestling fans knew that A.J. Styles was an incredible worker.  Styles was an original in TNA and regardless of what big name came in or what angle (good or bad) felt important in that realm.
