The WWE star, who made his first appearance a few weeks ago, just competed in his first match. However, he could not pick up the win.

Yoshiki Inamura is best known for his time in Pro Wrestling Noah, where he wrestled for several years. He started his wrestling career in 2018 and gained a lot of traction in a short amount of time due to his in-ring skills.

A few weeks ago, Inamura made his first WWE appearance on NXT. In the following weeks, he made some backstage appearances and even competed at house shows, but he never made his televised debut until tonight.

Tonight on WWE NXT, Yoshiki Inamura teamed with Josh Briggs and participated in the tag team gauntlet match. The competition for the tag titles has been heating up in recent weeks, with several teams vying for a shot at the titles. The 32-year-old was impressive in his debut but wasn't able to win the match. In the end, Myles Borne picked up the win for his team by eliminating Lucien Price.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
