Brian Pillman Jr. To Appear On NXT? – According to a new report, there are more indications that Brian Pillman Jr. is likely headed to WWE.

Last month, after his contract with AEW expired, Pillman Jr. had a tryout at the WWE Performance Center, which caught the attention of WWE officials.

However, Dave Meltzer previously noted that while Pillman is on WWE’s radar, the timing of him joining the company might be impacted by the ongoing acquisition of WWE by The Endeavor Group, which is expected to be completed this year.

Now, Pwinsider reports that the former AEW star, who recently left the rival promotion, is expected to appear at this week’s WWE NXT TV event. Furthermore, there are strong indications that Pillman Jr. has indeed signed with WWE.

While nothing is official until confirmed by WWE or Pillman Jr. himself, these developments suggest that his WWE debut could be on the horizon.

Here is the card for Tuesday’s WWE NXT:

• NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio with Rhea Ripley vs. Dragon Lee with Rey Mysterio.
• Bron Breakker vs. Von Wagner
• “Heritage Cup” Match: Noam Dar vs. Tyler Bate
• Mustafa Ali vs. Axiom, with the winner getting a future WWE NXT North American Championship match.
• Ilja Dragunov vows retribution against Trick Williams
• WWE NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton will appear.
