The former AEW star makes his WWE NXT debut as Lexis King at NXT Halloween Havoc
While WWE NXT's Halloween Havoc boasted an impressive card, it also featured an anticipated debut. After several weeks of vignettes, former AEW star Brian Pillman Jr. delivered a compelling first promo since signing with WWE. That set the stage for his in-ring WWE NXT debut at Halloween Havoc, and the newly named Lexis King delivered a strong showing for his first televised match.
After the match started, King got a lock on Chen's arm and wrist. Chen tried to get out of it and eventually did, turning the tables. King then hit Chen with a big headbutt and then kicked Chen right in the stomach. A punch to the face followed and the strike knocked Chen down, and then King went to work on Chen's face and neck.Welcome to #WWENXT, @LexisKingWWE!#HalloweenHavoc pic.twitter.
— WWE October 25, 2023 Chen blocked a suplex and then countered another. Chen hit a combo of punches and a big dropkick that turned the tables, but then a vicious double heel kick from the ground rocked Chen, knocking him over. King then clotheslined Chen and hit a big chop before pressing his boot against Chen's face.— WWE October 25, 2023 King went back and forth with the referee and Chen punched King in the stomach and the face.
An Atomic Drop followed and then a boot to the face knocked the newcomer down to the mat. King hit Chen out of nowhere with a vicious punch to the side of the head, and then King put Chen's feet on the ropes and hit the swinging DDT. That seemed to be his finisher but the commentary team didn't know what to call it.
Regardless, the move won the match, giving King his first official win in WWE NXT and getting the star off to a positive start. You can find the official card and the updated results for Halloween Havoc below.NXT Tag Team Championships Match: Chase U def.
