Brian Pillman Jr., formerly of AEW, had his first WWE match on Tuesday’s NXT after his TV debut.
Pillman goes by the ring name Lexis King. He explained in a promo that aired this week that he doesn’t want to be known as the son of the late Brian Pillman because wrestling took his real father away. Lexis is short for Alexis, his late sister’s name, and King is his stepfather’s last name.
King won his WWE debut match against Brooks Jensen Friday’s NXT house show in Largo, FL.
