Former ROH (Ring of Honor) star ACH made his in-ring debut under the WWE NXT banner. He did so by taking on Raul Mendoza in the opening match at the NXT live event on Thursday in Largo, FL at the Minnreg Hall.
ACH, who is going by his real name Albert Hardie, lost to Raul Mendoza in a singles match.
He was part of the recently announced Performance Center recruiting class and has been training at the facility since then in Orlando, Florida in order to get used to the WWE style that Triple H implements to all new talent.
