Former NXT Star Makes Impact Wrestling Debut, Joins oVe

Former WWE NXT star Sawyer Fulton made his Impact Wrestling debut on last night’s show, going by new ring name Madman Fulton, and joining the Ohio Versus Everything faction alongside Sami Callihan, and Dave and Jake Crist.

As you can see below, Fulton ambushed Rich Swann and Willie Mack, aligning himself with Sami Callihan and oVe in the process:

Fulton was released from WWE in November of 2017, having signed with the promotion in in September 2012.

He is best known for being part of the SAnitY stable, but shortly after the group’s first TV appearance in late 2016, he suffered a torn pectoral muscle, and was thus replaced by Killian Dain.He wouldn’t appear on TV again following the injury before his release a year later.

Fulton actually wrestled on Impact/OWV’s One Night Only: Clash in the Bluegrass show on March 2. He, the Crists and Ace Austin lost out to Dustin Jackson, Melvin Maximus, Sam Thompson and Shiloh Jonze in an eight-man tag match.
