On the April 9 episode of NXT, Evans made his television debut picking up a win against SCRYPTS. The following week on NXT, he fought then-NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov in a losing effort but was endorsed by Dragunov after as the two shook hands. Evans soon developed an on-screen friendship with Trick Williams, who had just defeated Dragunov to become the new NXT Champion, after Williams came to his defence against Noam Dar and Oro Mensah of The Meta-Four. Evans and Williams teamed up on the May 28 episode of NXT against Mark Coffey and Wolfgang of Gallus in a winning effort. On the June 18 episode of NXT, Evans won a 25-man battle royal to earn an NXT Championship match against Williams at NXT Heatwave. However, Evans was defeated by Ethan Page later in the night after Page challenged Evans to a match claiming that he was never eliminated from the battle royal after being attacked by Mensah.Show more
