Lio Rush made his debut at tonight’s NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University in Orlando.
Rush was scheduled to compete against Aleister Black, but (Rush’s former MCW tag team partner Patrick Clark) The Velveteen Dream attacked him before the match, then dared Black to say his name.
Later in the tapings, Rush and Velveteen Dream faced off with each other, with Dream winning with a pop-up elbow drop:
