Mason Rook Signs NXT Contract
Robert Stone hypes NXT before introducing Mason Rook for his signing. Rook comes out confident, talks about his global experience, and calls himself a “flying human tank.” He says he’s here to prove he’s the best and anyone in his way will get run over.
Tony D’Angelo interrupts, saying Rook already crossed the line by attacking him before signing. He warns him about making enemies. Before it escalates, Kam Hendrix attacks Tony from behind. Rook takes advantage, hits a huge moonsault onto everyone outside, causing chaos.
Rook gets back in the ring, signs the contract, and makes it official.
