Football Player Makes WWE NXT Debut, Update On NXT's Shoot Nation Stable, Tag Team Division

WWE NXT star Diggs Rawlis, who played linebacker at the University of Minnesota, made his in-ring debut at last night's NXT live event in Tampa. He teamed with Cal Bishop and they lost to Shoot Nation's Angelo Dawkins and Sawyer Fulton. Our NXT correspondent noted that the team of Dawkins and Fulton is really impressive.

We noted before that the Shoot Nation stable now consists of five stars – leader Chad Gable, Dawkins, Fulton, Jason Jordan and Tucker Knight. It appears the two main teams will be Dawkins & Fulton and Gable & Jordan.

Gable's mouth was busted open at last night's live event after taking a big clothesline from Scott Dawson as Gable and Jordan lost to "The Mechanics" Dawson and Dash Wilder. Our correspondent noted that the future of the tag team division in NXT is very bright.
