Former NXT Star Wrestles On AEW: Dynamite

Former NXT Wrestler and Cruiserweight Classic Competitor Sean Maluta appeared on AEW: Dynamite. He wasn’t on for long and sure didn’t get much of a showcase.

Maluta faced Lance Archer. Facing Archer is not a fun appearance.

Maluta took some brutal offense. He took The Black Out and then took the Claw and multiple head slams.

There’s no word on if Maluta will be a regular on AEW or not. We’ll have to see if he appeared on AEW: Dark tapings.

We’ve seen AEW showcase talents on Dynamite only to have them become regulars on the show. Alan Angels, Ricky Starks, Griff Garrison, and Eddie Kingston all turned one-off appearances into full-time gigs.

Maluta is technically related to the famous Samoan family. He is the nephew of Afa one-half of the Wild Samoans.

Maluta last appeared for NXT in 2018 in a loss to Adam Cole. He’s certainly a talented wrestler and did a great job selling for Archer. We’ll just have to see what his future holds.
