New faces dominate NXT on the CW after several main roster call ups

Shawn Michaels, Matt Bloom, and Robert Stone promised some fresh faces on NXT last night and by the time the show was over, six were prominently featured.

“Mr. England” Tristan Angels was the first one to show up, interrupting Myles Borne. He has been doing NXT non-televised live events and also appeared on WWE EVOLVE last month. He is part of the third season of WWE LFG.

Kam Hendrix also made his debut in the same segment. Hendrix is Anthony Luke and was part of the first two seasons of LFG under his real name and is part of the third season under his current name. He is the husband of WWE Superstar Maxxine Dupri.

Will Kroos showed up and delivered a top rope moonsault on Tony D’Angelo after he was attacked by the returning Tavion Heights. The 29-year-old Brit is a former Progress Atlas Champion with PROGRESS Wrestling. He has been wrestling lately for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan.

Tate Wilder saved Sean Legacy and EK Prosper from an attack by Birthright. Wilder has been wrestling on EVOLVE and also doing non-televised NXT live events. He is also part of season three of WWE LFG. He previously appeared on the first season of WWE LFG in a match under his name Case Hatch.

Lizzy Rain, who impressed with her finisher, made her NXT debut as well. Formerly known as Rayne Leverkusen, the third British star who debuted on NXT this week, signed with WWE recently and was the MVP of the WWE tryouts at SummerSlam last year.

All these are in addition to EVIL, who also made his debut by confronting NXT champion Tony D’Angelo.

These changes were necessary after several NXT stars were called up to the main roster following WrestleMania 42.
