NXT held four weeks of TV tapings tonight at Full Sail University. You can read the complete results here.
It was a pretty noteworthy set of tapings, with multiple in-ring debuts and returns.
Lio Rush
Former ROH / indie superstar Lio Rush made his NXT debut. He was set to face Aleister Black, but was attacked by Velveteen Dream during his entrance and the match never happened. At the next week’s tapings, Rush wrestled Velveteen Dream, but lost (via Dream’s big top rope elbow drop).
Rush and Dream were actually previously tag team partners in the indies.

Kairi Sane
Mae Young Classic winner Kairi Sane made her NXT debut, defeating Aliyah via her elbow drop finisher.
She’ll be wrestling in a four way match at NXT TakeOver Houston for the NXT Women’s Championship. Two of her opponents were also revealed during the tapings (after winning triple threat qualifying matches): Ember Moon and Peyton Royce. A fourth opponent will be determined at a later date.

Taynara Conti
Mae Young Classic competitor Taynara Conti made her NXT debut, interfering in a triple threat match between Peyton Royce, Nikki Cross and Liv Morgan. Taynara attacked Nikki Cross, costing her the match. She came down to the ring with Adam Cole’s “The Undisputed Era” stable, so she appears to be part of that group.

TM61
TM61 made their return in a dark match, defeating Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler. TM61’s Shane Thorne has been out since January with a knee injury. They were rumored to be in line for a push and possible “repackaging” before the injury.
