Drew McIntyre Makes His In Ring NXT Debut
A busy set of TV tapings for the former Intercontinental Champion.
Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre made a surprise return to the company during last Saturday's NXT TakeOver: Orlando. Appearing in the crowd during the live broadcast, McIntyre later announced that he had re-signed with the company, and has his sights set on Bobby Roode's NXT Championship.
McIntyre made his official in-ring return during last night's NXT TV tapings, defeating Oney Lorcan in a match that will air on April 12th, and Andrade "Cien" Almas for the April 26th show. Drew also debuted a new theme song featuring bagpipes during the tapings.
As per the spoilers, Drew received a massive pop and "welcome back" chants at Full Sail University. When the match airs, it'll be his first televised WWE bout since June 2014.
Aside from McIntyre, next week's episode will see Aleister Black and Dylan Miley make their TV debuts. Black defeated Andrade Almas in his first NXT appearance at TakeOver: Orlando and will face Corey Hollis on April 12th, while Miley, a former bodybuilder, will team with an unknown wrestler to face DIY.
