Popular international indie wrestler Jonah Rock made his in-ring debut under the WWE NXT banner. He did so by taking on NXT star Riddick Moss in the opening match at the NXT live event on Saturday night in Crystal River, FL at the Crystal River Armory.
Rock lost to Moss in a singles match. He was among the twelve new recruits to start training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida last month. He’s best known for his time with both PWG and Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan.
Rock’s first match with NXT follows the recent NXT in-ring debuts of ROH/NJPW star ACH, and three-time Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion Trevor Lee.
