Will Kroos made a sudden impact on WWE NXT and instantly got fans talking.
It happened on the April 28 episode when things got chaotic around NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo. The segment already had tension. Then it escalated quickly. First, EVIL showed up and confronted D’Angelo.
A warning was delivered, but before anything major happened, Tavion Heights jumped in and attacked the champion. It was sudden and then came the moment nobody expected. A man in a black hoodie rushed into the ring.
No music or introduction, just action. He hit a clean moonsault on D’Angelo, who was already down. For a second, it looked like a fan had entered the ring. Even the commentators were confused, as they didn’t know who it was. But that mystery didn’t last long. That man was Will Kroos and just like that, he made his presence felt.
