Earlier this year, Fightful sought to publish some positive news amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
Around that time, we started reaching out to dozens of WWE sources to ask them who had been working hard to improve. Responses at that point were scattered, but in recent months have accelerated.

Dexter Lumis was one of a few NXT names that was mentioned as working hard to improve, based on our Brass Ring series. His name was actually brought up to us before his NXT push, but he was nominated based on his willingness to work to get on the show to begin with.
After he got the push, we asked several wrestlers about Lumis, all of whom agreed he'd delivered in the opportunity he was given. One told us "it would have been really easy for him to give up on himself or the gimmick because he wasn't on TV for five years. He did a lot of different stuff and people don't realize how multi-talented he is."
Lumis is an artist, and has also done voiceover work in the past for NWA.
