Backstage Notes from 3/19 WWE NXT: Dijak’s “I’m White” Line, Main Event Segment Anxiety, William Regal Status

Here are some highlights from the recent episode of WWE NXT that aired on Tuesday night:

The show was titled “My mind’s playing Trick on me,” a clever play on words referencing Trick Williams, a rising star in WWE NXT who won the main event against Noam Dar.

Former WWE NXT General Manager William Regal, who recently returned to confront his son and others, was noticeably absent from this week’s taping.

During an in-ring segment, wrestler Dijak made an off-the-cuff remark that wasn’t scripted, drawing laughter from those backstage.

Axiom and Nathan Frazer, an unexpected tag-team, have been impressing behind the scenes with their agility and speed in the ring.

In the main event post-match segment, Carmelo Hayes surprised fans by revealing himself as one of the masked security guards surrounding Trick Williams. There was a lot of discussion about how to keep Hayes’ identity a secret, given his height and eyes, before the big reveal.

What implications do you think Carmelo Hayes revealing himself as one of the masked security guards could have for his character and future storylines in WWE NXT? Let us know in the comments below.
