NXT graduates dominate WrestleMania 33 card

17 WWE Superstars on the card tonight for WrestleMania have all graduated from NXT over the past several years, an impressive number that is even more impressive when adding participants from the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, a number that shoots up to nearly 30.

Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, Alexa Bliss, and Bayley are all champions walking into the show as well, with many of their opponents, including Baron Corbin, Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, and Carmella also NXT graduates.

For those former NXT stars such as Carmella, Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, Neville, Enzo Amore and Big Cass, this is also their first WrestleMania.

With stars in NXT like Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, The Revival, #DIY, Ember Moon, Asuka, SAnitY, Cassuis Ohno, Roderick Strong, and many others, it will be interesting to see how next year’s WrestleMania shapes up!
