They say that anything can happen in the world of professional wrestling, and this week’s episode of NXT featured a big surprise. During the show Mason Rook returned and he made it clear that he still has his sights set on the NXT Championship when he confronted Grayson Waller.
Originally Mason Rook was set to challenge Grayson Waller for the NXT Championship back in September, but the title match was canceled after it was revealed that Rook was not medically cleared to compete.
Following the show it was reported that Rook was dealing with something very serious, and the belief was that he could be out of action for a very long time.
Mason Rook recently confirmed that he was sidelined due a severe issue when he posted the following:
“Only a select few know the severity of what I’ve come back from. I worked my a** off to get back ahead of schedule.
Strap in, because I’m gonna cause a Rookus🤟🏼
#WWENXT”
As of this writing it has yet to be confirmed when Mason Rook will be getting a shot at the NXT Championship, but he is on the hunt and back in the title picture for now.
Stay tuned for updates.
