There has been no mention of the group or Knight on WWE television yet.
Mace proceeded to defeat Erik of the Viking Raiders.
Knight (Shaun Ricker) is 39-years old and has been on NXT for the past year. He lost to Gunther earlier this month at the Stand & Deliver special and has not appeared on NXT programming since.
In January, Knight wrestled a dark match at a SmackDown taping in Nashville and taped a match for WWE Main Event several days later.
