Tonight, WWE held a new edition of NXT, which featured great matches and standout segments. In one of the most important moments of the evening, EVIL, now known as Naraku, made his debut in the ring and managed to secure his first victory on the brand by defeating Lince Dorado.

The match started with Naraku slowing down Lince Dorado's agility with a solid shoulder tackle. Although the masked wrestler managed to hit a springboard crossbody, the Japanese wrestler quickly recovered to immobilize him and kick him in the head. Naraku continued with an exploder suplex, a body drop, and a powerslam, also punishing Lince's collarbone with a flurry of elbows before trapping him in a painful submission hold.

Dorado managed to break free to surprise with several kicks and a handspring cutter, but Naraku cut the momentum with a precise kick. Without losing control, the Japanese wrestler executed two consecutive Fisherman Busters and finished off the masked wrestler with his signature move, The Abyss. After the three count, Naraku secured a resounding victory in his debut.

After the match, the Japanese wrestler approached the camera directly to announce his arrival on the brand. Far from showing respect for his opponent, he issued a clear warning about his new identity: "Naraku is not a man of honor. I AM PURE EVIL." With these words, the wrestler concluded his first appearance in NXT.
