Top name breaks silence following major WWE debut

WWE Superstar Brian Pillman Jr. made his in-ring debut during this week's special NXT episode of 'Halloween Havoc.'

The son of wrestling legend Brian Pillman had recently signed with the Stamford-based company a few months back. Pillman Jr. has since been featured on NXT television through several vignettes where the former AEW star denounced his last name and wanted to be known as 'Lexis King' moving forward.

King made his in-ring debut this week as he faced Dante Chen in a singles competition. The 30-year-old star had an impressive showing as he defeated Chen in a quick back-and-forth bout. King has now sent an emotional message after his victory.

"That's how you do it. You wanna know how to make it in this business? You got to go outside the box, step outside of the shadow. I was never going to be a better version of that man. But, I can be the best version of myself. And that is 'Lexis King'," King shared.
