After arriving at the WWE Performance Center last week, Robert Strauss (formerly known as Robbie E in IMPACT Wrestling) made his WWE NXT debut at tonight’s live event in Sanford, Florida. However, it was not as a wrestler.
Dressed in business attire, Strauss led Indian wrestlers Rinku Singh and Saurav Gurjar to the ring and introduced himself as their advocate. Strauss then announced that he’s creating a brand consisting of elite athletes from all over the world.
