Corbin wrestled in WWE for 12 years, with his first five occurring in NXT before getting the call-up to the main roster. He made appearances again with NXT during his final couple years. His accolades include the WWE United States Championship, the NXT Tag Team Championship with Bron Breakker, the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal title (2016), the 2019 King of the Ring and the 2017 Money in the Bank.

Nox signed with WWE in 2017 and landed with NXT for the next four years. She suffered a serious knee injury at the 2018 Mae Young Classic and missed nearly a year of in-ring action. Another torn ACL two years later forced her out for nine months.

Nox was released in Nov. 2021 but returned after a year. Ultimately, injuries significantly hindered her WWE ceiling and potential, and it’s very possible she truly finds success elsewhere with better health and a greater chance.

Hartwell was a member of NXT from 2019-2023 before joining the main roster. She found much success in NXT, winning the Women’s Championship once and the Tag Team titles once with Candice LeRae. She and LeRae notably wrestled for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against The Kabuki Warriors at Elimination Chamber: Perth, falling in February.
