NXT favourite Oney Lorcan sported the brand's now-iconic colour scheme for his first shot at the Cruiserweight Championship match on the SummerSlam pre-show. With yellow and black boots, kneepads and tights, he was flying the flag for his past while fighting for his future.

On a weird weekend in Toronto, Lorcan turned out to be on the better of the two shows hanging with the main roster than the black-and-gold favourites. Much like his efforts alongside parter Danny Burch on the developmental brand, Lorcan came up short in his big title match, but the nails Twitter nutter had at least dressed to impress.
