One of NXT’s latest signees Trevor Lee has made his debut for the gold and yellow brand at a Live Event in Dade City, Florida. Lee competed for Impact Wrestling, formerly known as TNA, between 2015-2018, where he captured the Tag Team Championships and the X-Division title.

Lee squared off against Luke Menzies at the show, and NXT would follow this up with a tweet acknowledging Lee’s debut.

Trevor Lee was announced as part of the latest batch of recruits signed to the Performance Center and was one of the more recognised names announced.

Another of the more recognised names was ACH. The former NJPW wrestler made his debut the night prior to Lee at a Live Event in Largo, Florida, that also featured an appearance from WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, and former NXT standouts Bayley and Sasha Banks.

The arrival of more experienced stars such as ACH and Trevor Lee will come at a great time for NXT. The brand have just been gutted following the main roster debuts of Aleister Black, Ricochet, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. With the main event scene set to feel particularly empty after NXT Takeover: New York, Lee is likely licking his lips, awaiting the chance to impress when called upon.
