WWE NXT had a Psycho Killer on the loose this week. There’s a good reason why.
This week’s episode of WWE NXT featured a brief appearance from a deranged masked man in the crowd. Some fans who reacted to a still image of him on social media were quite confused, but the character was actually a promotional opportunity.
No, Schism wasn’t back and WWE didn’t re-sign Retribution. The masked man is the title character from the upcoming movie Psycho Killer. If you saw the show, a lower-third graphic showed details about the movie during the masked man’s brief appearance.
What is Psycho Killer about?
