EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory made his NXT in-ring debut at a house show in Daytona, FL Thursday night.

Theory lost a “good back and forth match” to Bronson Reed, according to JJ Williams.

Before the match, Theory, who plays a cocky heel character in EVOLVE, cut a promo “running down” the previous match (Cameron Grimes vs. Tehuti Miles).

WWE announced the signing of the 22 year old Theory last month.
