No the reason why he obviously wasnt on NXT was because a week later he was getting called up to be Kidd's enforcer.
I doubt they've given up on him already. They dont need to stick him in matches for the time being if they dont feel he's ready. Build Kidd up with Andrews at his side, helping him to gain cheap wins and do some pre/ post match beat downs and keep him in FCW to improve if he's really that bad which i dont think he is. He is by no means worse than O'niel, Otunga and Cottonwood and they all got on NXT.
