Dijak made his name in Ring of Honor, where he won the promotion’s 2015 Top Prospects Tournament. He was also a member of the House of Truth stable, managed by Truth Martini. Dijak was also a member of Prince Nana’s embassy. He also wrestled for Chaotic Wrestling, and was their heavyweight champion in 2014.
Another new face, Mae Young Classic competitor Rhea Ripley, had her first singles match for NXT, facing fellow MYC participant, Bianca BelAir. Ripley had previously been a part of a 6-woman tag at an NXT Live Event in August, teaming with Ruby Riot and Zeda to face Mandy Rose, Vanessa Borne and Taynara Conti.
