Former Impact Wrestling stars such as AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode have been finding a lot of success on the WWE main roster, and the company recently added some more familiar names from Impact to the ranks of NXT.
Former Impact World Champion EC3 appeared at TakeOver: Philadelphia, and the company also announced that they’ve signed Mahabali Shera.
Shera made his in ring debut for the NXT brand Thursday night during the live event in Ocala, Florida, and according to a fan in attendance he wrestled Dan Matha and won his debut match.
