Legacy has been wrestling for a decade and joined the WWE ID program in late 2024, and has been performing on episodes of EVOLVE. Last year, he was featured on several episodes of NXT and challenged Ethan Page for the North American title last June.
Legacy will face Eli Knight in tonight’s qualifying match to determine who advances to the multi-man ladder match on February 3 to determine the new NXT champion.
