Lexis King's journey begins at NXT Halloween Havoc 2023.
Lexis King (formerly Brian Pillman Jr.) was featured in another vignette on the October 17 episode of WWE NXT. This time, he spoke about how WWE Legends would tell him stories about his father, "Flyin'" Brian Pillman, claiming that he would lie to them and say that he also loved his father. However, at the age of four when he lost his dad, he had no idea what love was.
King then went on to say that he would be debuting at NXT Halloween Havoc and it would be the start of his journey which would go on to make the name Lexis King mean more than Brian Pillman.

Halloween Havoc has some significance for Brian Pillman Sr.'s career. At the very first Halloween Havoc in 1989, Pillman challenged Lex Luger for the United States Championship. In 1995, Pillman would also officially form The Horseman at Halloween Havoc along with Ric Flair and Arn Anderson by beating down Sting.
Lexis King was formerly a member of the AEW roster.
