Rumored Matches for NXT Takeover: New Orleans
…
Kyle O’Reilly made his WWE debut last week at the NXT tapings on July 12th in a losing effort to Aleister Black. Originally O’Reilly was scheduled to make a surprise debut back in January of this year, however legal issues between WWE and Ring of Honor derailed those plans.
Speaking of debuts, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Adam Cole is expected to debut shortly with the company.
WWE taped the following tonight for next week’s episode of NXT that will air on the WWE Network:
* Patrick Clark debuted as “The Velveteen Dream” and defeated Robert Anthony.
* Drew McIntyre defeated Wesley Blake with a running kick.
* Aleister Black defeated Curt Hawkins.
We noted over the weekend that company officials are extremely high on Aleister Black and it would be only a matter of time before he is called up to the main roster.
PWInsider reports that Aleister Black is now being scheduled for this week’s WWE television tapings. He toured with the RAW brand in Europe last week and also wrestled on Main Event. This is a strong indication that he could be next in line to be called up.
