As noted, former TNA Champion Austin Aries made his NXT TV debut at Friday’s NXT TV tapings in Orlando, FL at the CFE Arena. Aries has since posted these tweets:
Wow. I was deeply touched and humbled by all the wonderful messages and comments I woke up to today from friends and fans. Thank you all.
