WWE’s NXT brand featured two debuts over the last two weeks as Killer Kross made an appearance via a promo to close last week’s show and this week, Jake Atlas made his NXT TV in-ring debut in a match against Dexter Lumis. It was not a successful debut for Atlas as he fell in defeat to Lumis. On last week’s program, a promo to hype up Lumis’ return to NXT TV aired. Lumis last wrestled on NXT TV during the Breakout tournament that occurred during the Summer of 2019.

Jake Atlas was announced as a part of the WWE Performance Center Class that included Mercedes Martinez. The 25-year old Atlas made the rounds on the independent scene in Southern California and competed for the likes of PWG, PCW ULTRA and was a trainer at Santino Bros. Wrestling Academy. Atlas has been working NXT house shows since January.

A review of tonight’s episode of NXT will be up on the site and can be found at this link.
