“The Dagger” Mik Drake Gets WWE Tryout, Rusev Supporting Drew Gulak, More

— During the NXT tapings, Jeet Rama defeated an enhancement talent. The wrestler’s identity is New York independent wrestler “The Dagger” Mik Drake. He wrote on Instagram:

Was going to keep it quiet but since the cat’s out of the bag, (thanks internet detectives) last night I wrestled at Full Sail for WWE NXT. And for a moment, I savored it, and I did appreciate it; just for a second. But it’s over. Done. More work to do. Next. #IndyWrestling #indiewrestling #FitFam #Gym #IndependentWrestling #ProWrestling #ProfessionalWrestling #wwe #nxt #roh #wwenetwork #goals #workout #work #relentless
