The independent star made his presence felt in the crowd at NXT TakeOver Toronto, which has become a tradition for high profile indie signings. He started training at the Performance Center a month ago. The new star will likely work the live event circuit for several months before making a debut on NXT TV, although the shift to a two-hour broadcast could change that pattern.

Austin Theory isn’t quite done with EVOLVE, especially since he’s their current champion. Upcoming EVOLVE events will see Theory go up against NXT star Babatunde.
