Stevie Turner was an NXT UK wrestler, migrated to NXT US when UK ended, but never really wrestled much in NXT US. Most recently she was Ava's assistant (alongside Mr. Stone).

Jamar Hampton was Troy Yearwood in the first season of LFG before they changed his name. He was the one who called out tributes to known racist/human piece of shit/dead piece of shit Hulk Hogan. I'm pretty sure that Drake guy appeared in season 1 as well in a tag team match but wasn't an actual future great.

I hope Stevie lands on her feet somewhere

Was she the one that acted like a game streamer? I saw her like twice when i started rewatching nxt and liked her and then never saw her again.

They can call him Andre Andre and i wouldn't care but the thought of Tony Schiavone screaming its Wes Lee doesn't feel right but Dezmond Xavier or just Dez would be great
