10 WWE Prospects Who Caused Their Own Downfall
These WWE prospects failed because of their own actions
2. Nash Carter
After impressing for IMPACT, The Rascalz tag team were signed by WWE in December of 2020.
Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier became Nash Carter and Wes Lee, AKA MSK, and quickly set about establishing themselves as one of the top teams on the so-called third brand.
They won the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament, before going on to bag the vacant NXT Tag Team Titles.
Their first reign lasted a not-inconsiderable 201 days and they were just days into their second reign as champs when Carter was released.
He was dismissed after his ex-wife (and fellow professional wrestler) Kimber Lee publicly accused him of sustained domestic abuse during the course of their relationship.
Shortly after, a picture of Carter sporting a moustache and giving a certain salute was shared online which looked an awful lot like the one performed by supporters of the leader of the Third Reich.
MSK would have probably have continued to receive a push, with a possible main roster call-up in their future, had the photo and allegations not surfaced.
As for Lee, he has continued to wrestle for NXT, primarily as a singles competitor, but the WWE-TNA working relationship has seen Wentz and Trey Miguel reform The Rascalz with Wes Lee across NXT and TNA IMPACT.
