Eli Drake Makes NXT Debut Under New Name

Former IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Eli Drake has made his debut in WWE NXT under a brand new ring name.

Drake appeared in front of the live crowd at the Capitol Wrestling Center ahead of TakeOver: Vengeance Day and announced he is now LA Knight.

The signing of Drake was reported by PWInsider just a little while earlier along with Taya Valkyrie and Harlem Bravado.

The segment aired on the TakeOver pre-show shortly after videos did the rounds from people in attendance.
