NXT Teases Arrival of a Familiar Legacy: A Nod to the Pillmans?

Published on

A mysterious vignette on NXT hints at the debut of a second-generation superstar, echoing the legacy of Brian Pillman.

In a captivating moment during the September 26 episode of WWE NXT, viewers were treated to a cryptic vignette. The scene depicted a man engrossed in watching the news, only to switch his attention to a Cincinnati Bengals football game, and subsequently, to WCW wrestling. For those well-versed in wrestling history, this sequence might not seem random. The vignette is a nod to Brian Pillman, a former WCW standout who was part of the iconic Hollywood Blondes tag team with Steve Austin. Pillman also had ties to the Cincinnati Bengals, having played for them.

Adding fuel to the speculative fire, Brian Pillman Jr., the son of the late wrestler, has reportedly inked a deal with NXT. While the company has yet to confirm his signing or debut officially, the vignette is a clear hint towards introducing the young Pillman to the NXT universe.
