Cobb was brought in to be a lackey. He wrestles in street clothes and doesn't even have his own entrance theme. He's basically a stand in for the Tongas.

Ricky is mid carder IN NXT. Veterans WWE sees as stars don’t do that. Why can’t Ricky be the third guy in Seth’s group, or fight side by side with Punk against them? You think they signed SIX mid carders to the main roster after Ricky but they’re still high on him? Judge by actions
