Shortly after being fired in storyline by Shane McMahon last week, Owens teased a move to NXT on Twitter.
Earlier today, he commented on his time in NXT ahead of the brand’s debut on the USA Network tonight.
“I didn’t get to spend as much time there as I would have liked to but @WWENXT will always feel like home for me. It’s full of good and very talented people, both in and out of the ring, and everyone there has worked so hard to get to this point. Tonight is going to be special,” Owens Tweeted.
