Naraku, the former IWGP Heavyweight champion known as EVIL in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, made his in-ring debut on NXT last night.

Naraku defeated Lince Dorado in his first match, a match which has to be considered a squash match to get the former NJPW star over with the crowd and the television audience.

Dorado serves as one of the WWE Performance Center trainers so he was the perfect opponent to work with Naraku in a WWE-style match.

Naraku is expected to be one of the top players in NXT as the brand undergoes a change after so many of its talent were moved to the main roster this year.
