As seen on tonight’s WWE NXT Takeover: Orlando event, the cameras spotted former WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre at ringside before Nakamura faced Bobby Roode for the NXT Title in the main event.
Moments after the sighting, McIntyre confirmed to ESPN that he has signed a full-time deal NXT. He said:
“Well the answer’s pretty simple,” said McIntyre. “I’ve won championships all across the world, I’ve helped build brands. So what’s the next logical thing for me to do? It’s to come here and win the NXT title.”
He continued, “If that’s not clear enough for everybody, Drew McIntyre has signed with NXT.”
WWE posted this video of Galloway backstage after Takeover. He talks about how he’s grown brands and become a franchise player since leaving WWE before but now he’s back for the next step, the NXT Title.
