Earlier this month, it was announced that former NJPW star Karl Fredericks had signed with WWE.
Fredericks departed NJPW back in August 2022 due to a contract expiration, and he reportedly signed with WWE earlier this month.
Fredericks was set to report to the NXT brand following his signing, but he has yet to appear on either the main NXT show or on Level Up.
Well, Fredericks did make his first WWE appearance last night (January 20) at an NXT Live Event.
Fredericks confronted Axiom after his match on the show. You can see the video of Fredericks’ debut below:

It is not known what name WWE will be using for Fredericks, or when he will make his debut on NXT TV.
Another former NJPW star who recently signed with WWE is Dragon Lee (Ryu Lee in NJPW), who has also not yet shown up on NXT TV.
