WWE’s NXT brand featured two debuts over the last two weeks as Killer Kross made an appearance via a promo to close last week’s show and this week, Jake Atlas made his NXT TV in-ring debut in a match against Dexter Lumis. It was not a successful debut for Atlas as he fell in defeat to Lumis. On last week’s program, a promo to hype up Lumis’ return to NXT TV aired. Lumis last wrestled on NXT TV during the Breakout tournament that occurred during the Summer of 2019.
