During recent tapings for WWE's NXT show, none other than Austin Aries made his official World Wrestling Entertainment debut. Announced and brought in front of fans by the brand's General Manager William Regal, Aries was then ambushed by Baron Corbin before he even made it to the ring. Aries is the latest former TNA talent to sign on the dotted line with the McMahon family, something which surely must be troubling to Dixie Carter and company. As brazen as Carter has been in media appearances, stating that it's a good thing WWE recognise their hard work, she must be concerned that even NXT is of greater appeal to talent than her own promotion. For many professional wrestlers, WWE is the promised land. At 37 years of age, Aries perhaps realised that the time was right to take the plunge and see what he could achieve in wrestling's biggest organisation. It makes sense that there will be WWE fans who have never seen Austin Aries perform before, so just what do those people need to know about the guy? His nicknames are numerous and he has won countless championships during his lengthy career in the industry, but just where might 'A Double' fit into the WWE system?
