Former WCW titleholder appears in backstage altercation between Bron Breakker and another WWE Superstar
Former WCW star and current NXT coach Norman Smiley made an appearance during a recent altercation involving Bron Breakker and Grayson Waller at the WWE Performance Center.
Smiley has been with WWE since 2007, which was the same year he wrestled his final match on an episode of Sunday Night Heat. A former two-time WCW Hardcore Champion, Smiley began making on-screen appearances for FCW in 2010, a promotion that would serve as the company's developmental before NXT.
In the video, Smiley can be seen berating Grayson Waller for throwing a water bottle at Breakker, a move that fell on deaf ears. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to stop the two men from clashing and joined several NXT recruits in trying to break up the brawl.

The feud apparently didn't end there, as their brawl at the WWE Performance Center took place yesterday and was trending on social media.
The brawl between Breakker and Waller has continued to send shockwaves through the NXT locker room.
Bronson Reed, who recently returned to WWE, stated in a tweet that someone ratted him out for having his cell phone at the Performance Center. The former NXT North American Champion later joked that times have changed.
The brawl has grabbed the eyeballs of wrestling fans around the world, as many seemed to enjoy the work-shoot nature of it. This has also escalated an already-heated rivalry between Bron Breakker and Grayson Waller.
With Vengeance Day around the corner, it remains to be seen whether Waller will manage to take the NXT Championship off Breakker.
