Coming off an unforgettable performance at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, Ricochet made his long-awaited debut at Full Sail University, taking on the endlessly athletic Fabian Aichner. The NXT LVL tried to rain on Ricochet’s parade, as he used his incredible strength to toss Ricochet around the ring before clamping on a ferocious bearhug.
Aichner’s forceful attack, however, couldn’t ground the preeminent high-flyer for long. Ricochet soared through the air with a springboard uppercut and flattened the Italian Superstar with a standing shooting star press before putting Aichner away with a breathtaking 630 Splash. Afterward, Ricochet told Kayla Braxton that it felt great to compete in the same venue where Superstars like Sami Zayn and Bayley made a name for themselves and indicated that he plans to do just the same for himself now that he's in NXT.
