Former WWE NXT Superstar Parker Boudreaux (FKA Harland) made his MLW debut in the Battle Riot match, which is MLW's version of the Royal Rumble, during Thursday's Battle Riot IV event at the Melrose Ballroom in New York City.

Boudreaux entered at #40 but didn't last very long in the battle royal. The final four wrestlers in the match were Killer Kross, Real1 (Enzo Amore), Jacob Fatu and Sami Callihan. Fatu would eventually win the Battle Riot by eliminating Real1.

With the victory, Fatu secured a future title shot against MLW World Champion Alex Hammerstone.

Boudreaux was among the 10 NXT talents released by WWE in April. In the aftermath of his WWE exit, a report noted that NXT coaches and officials felt the former football player had not progressed in the ringΒ quite enough to their liking. There was a lot of hype around Boudreaux signing with WWE last year, with Paul Heyman and others comparing him to a young Brock Lesnar.
