Last Match: vs. Grayson Waller (8 October 2021 205 Live)

Former Impact man Trey Baxter made his WWE debut by answering KUSHIDA's 'Open Challenge' for a Cruiserweight Title match on the 15 June episode of NXT. He then entered the brand's 'Breakout Tournament' and eliminated Joe Gacy before succumbing to Odyssey Jones in the semi finals.

That was about as good as it got for Baxter.

He was also squashed in less than a minute by Dante Chen on the 21 September episode of NXT 2.0, but WWE used him more as a utility player on 205 Live following the 'Breakout' tourney. Things never really got going for the guy.
