LA Knight's In Ring Debut Set For Next Week's WWE NXT

LA Knight will compete in the ring for the first time since joining WWE next week on NXT. 

The former Eli Drake made his debut on WWE programming on the NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day pre-show, and has cropped up in different promo segments on the black-and-gold brand over the last few weeks. 

LA Knight will now show the WWE Universe what he can do inside the ring when he makes his debut on next Wednesday's NXT show. 

There is, as of writing, no word as to who the 38-year-old may be facing, but Knight has begun a feud with Bronson Reed after costing him a match with Cameron Grimes last week. Reed responded this past week by physically attacking LA Knight during the backstage segment in which he confirmed his match on NXT

It remains to be seen if Knight's first taste of in-ring competition in NXT will be against Reed, or if the feud is building towards a match at the recently announced NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver two-night event.
