At the NXT live event in Largo, Florida on Thursday, a couple of notable things took place.
At the show, which emanated from Minnreg Hall last night, ACH made his NXT in-ring debut. ACH, who performed under his real name (Albert Hardie), lost to Raul Mendoza in the opening bout of the show.
Later in the evening, the WWE Women’s Tag-Team Champions — The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection — appeared and cut a promo. They also sat ringside for the match pitting Io Shirai & Kairi Sane vs. Aliyah & Vanessa Borne vs. Rhea Ripley & Reina Gonzalez.
The match finished in a No Contest when Aliyah & Borne and Ripley & Gonzalez refused to stop attacking Shirai and Sane. This led to Sasha Banks and Bayley helping them clear the ring.
Check out photos of ACH’s debut and all of the action involving Sasha Banks and Bayley below. Also included is a video of Banks and Bayley backstage at the show getting ready to make their surprise appearance.
