Mason Rook Returns To NXT & Attacks Grayson Waller

Mason Rook is back in the mix.

CM Punk’s theme music hit to start the 11/10 WWE NXT on The CW. Coming out was the current NXT Champion Grayson Waller, who defeated Punk on the 11/4 NXT to retain the NXT Championship after Kevin Owens distracted Punk.

Waller said people can say whatever they want about Punk, but he will go down as one of the greats, and he beat one of the greats.

Waller was looking for his next opponent, and out came Shiloh Hill. After Hill’s fiery words to Waller, the champion told Hill that he was not ready for a title shot. As Waller was exiting, he was ambushed by the returning Mason Rook.

Rook had been removed from in-ring action in late September. He was supposed to challenge Waller for the NXT Championship.
