Today, Michael Crowley, the Commissioner of NXT, sat beside the Owner of WWE, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, and The Head of Talent Development, Paul Levesque, at the WWE Headquarters at Stamford, Connecticut, where he announced the newest member of the WWE: NXT Roster. Crowley revealed his newest acquisition as Austin Jenkins, one of the hottest free agents on the Independent Circuit today, where he competed under the name Adam Cole. He wriggled his way out of many questions asked by the press, and said that all their questions would be answered by this video.
Crowley said that Jenkins' ring name has yet to be decided, but he will debut at NXT: Ryse. Vince said that having Austin on the WWE Roster further helps the talent that Michael Crowley is in charge of, and he hopes that Jenkins can help other superstars as well as learn himself. Levesque answered many questions, but the most important one was that he said he was in charge of Jenkins' storylines. He would pitch in to help here and there, but mostly he would work from behind the scenes.
Everyone at World Wrestling Entertainment and NXT would like to welcome Austin to the roster.
