Mason Rook Returns On WWE NXT, Attacks Grayson Waller

Mason Rook is back on WWE NXT, making his return on this week’s show and putting Grayson Waller back in his sights. Tuesday night’s episode saw Rook make his return to TV as he attacked Waller in the opening segment, while the NXT Champion was confronted by Shiloh Hill.

Waller came down to open the show and crow about his win over CM Punk on last week’s show. Hill soon came down to the ring to try and lay claim to a title shot. Waller told Hill that he wasn’t ready and turned to leave before Rook showed up and attacked him. Rook hit a backpack cannonball and shared words with Hill to close the segment.

Rook had been scheduled to challenge Waller for the NXT Championship on the September 29th episode of WWE NXT but was pulled due to medical reasons. He appeared in a segment later in tonight’s show and said that he worked hard to get back ahead of schedule and that Waller escaped others but won’t escape him.

You can see the clips from the segment below.
