WWE NXT NEWS AND NOTES [UPDATED]

By Mike Johnson on 2016-05-05 12:01:00

For those who have asked, as of right now, Eric Young has not been signed by WWE.  He had a pretty damn good first appearance on last night's WWE NXT:

Matt Wichlinski, who had been working as the Strength & Conditioning Coach at the WWE Performance Center, was let go last week and replaced by Sean Hayes, a former NFL Strength Coach for the Houston Texans.

While initially planned as stand-alone events, there's been talk of integrating the Global Cruiserweight Series into WWE NXT TV tapings this summer.

WWE NXT has a live event tonight in Salina, Kansas with WWE NXT champ Samoa Joe, WWE Women's champ Asuka, Bayley, Austin Aries, WWE NXT Tag Team champions American Alpha, Shinsuke Nakamura, Eva Marie, Finn Balor and No Way Jose advertised.  The brand is running tomorrow in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and on Saturday 5/7 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  If anyone attends the events, we are seeking live reports.

The pre-sale code for the 6/4 NXT live event at Center Stage in Atlanta, GA is NXTLIVE.

WWE released the following interview with No Way Jose after NXT went off the air last night:
