Mason Rook Comments On WWE TV Return ‘Ahead of Schedule’

Mason Rook made his return to WWE NXT on last night’s show, and he took to social media afterward to comment on being back. As noted, Rook returned in the opening segment of Tuesday night’s episode and laid out Grayson Waller. His return comes a month and a half after he was pulled from an NXT Championship match with Waller on the September 29th episode.

Rook posted to Twitter after his return to react to his return. He wrote:

“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

#WWENXT”

It was announced when Rook was pulled from the September 29th episode that he was not medically cleared to compete. No further details were given at that time.

Rook said on last night’s WWE NXT that he was continuing his quest to challenge Waller for the NXT Championship and that while the current champion had managed to escape others that he’s faced, he won’t be able to escape Rook.

There’s no word as of yet on whether Mason Rook will get the NXT Championship match that he lost out on.

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🤟🏼#WWENXT https://t.co/SmdwUGwS6T
