As noted over the weekend here on eWn, Alex Shelley made his WWE NXT live event debut on Friday night in Pittsburgh, PA. On Saturday, Shelley took to Twitter to react to “fulfilling his dream” of being in WWE.
Shelley will be teaming with KUSHIDA in the Dusty Rhodes Tag-Team Classic. They’ll be going by the name of “The Time Splitters” and their first round match will take place on Wednesday night’s edition of WWE NXT.
I’ve more to say, but wrestling for @WWE and @WWENXT specifically has been a dream of mine for awhile. I have had to do a lot of hard things in life, especially the last few years. But so have you. If a single person can draw some inspiration and strength from this? Win. Thanks.

Broke down on the highway post @WWENXT in Warren, OH, studying for my CSCS exam, looking up chords to @TogetherPangea songs, reading Scott Pilgrim books. Not even mad. The high I experienced this weekend was immeasurable. Thank you, NXT, Kushi, everyone.

In short, I am the most punk rock wrestler currently active. No gimmick. Bet.
