Former Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion Trevor Lee made his in-ring debut under the WWE NXT banner. He did so by taking on NXT UK star Luke Menzies in the opening match at the NXT live event on Friday in Dade City, FL at the Dade City Armory.
He lost to Menzies 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.
Outside of being an X-Division Champion, Lee was also an Impact World Tag Team Champion and OMEGA Heavyweight Champion and held titles in AAW, and PWG.
