Mason Rook Says ‘Only A Select Few’ Know The Severity Of What He Has Come Back From Following WWE NXT Return

Mason Rook says that ‘only a select few’ are aware of the severity of what caused him to miss time off NXT television.

Prior to the September 29th edition of WWE NXT, it would be announced that Rook was not medically cleared to compete, beginning a stretch of time where he would be off NXT television until the November 10th edition of WWE’s developmental program. Rook would return on last night’s show by attacking NXT Champion Grayson Waller alongside Shiloh Hill, leaving the NXT Champion down and out. Mason had been originally scheduled to challenge for the NXT title before his absence.

In a new social media post following his return to NXT programming on November 10th, Mason Rook would note that ‘only a select few’ know the severity of what he has come back from.

“Only a select few know the severity of what I’ve come back from. I worked my ass off to get back ahead of schedule. Strap in, because I’m gonna cause a Rookus”
