A WWE star who was almost fired recently lost his first match back on NXT tonight. He lost his cool and attacked his opponent after the match.

Ever since Brooks Jensen, Josh Briggs, and Fallon Henley decided to go their own way, Jensen has been on a downward spiral. He has gotten in a lot of trouble backstage for his antics on the developmental brand. Jensen has tried to attack NXT commentator Vic Joseph and he has caused chaos during shows.

As a result, he had a sitdown with NXT GM Ava last week. During this sitdown, it seemed like he had learned the error of his ways and would behave himself. However, he attacked Je'Von Evans backstage just moments later. This took Evans out of the big tag match later that night.

Tonight on WWE NXT, Brooks Jensen went one-on-one against Je'Von Evans. The match was going in Jensen's favor. Just then, Shawn Spears showed up at ringside, only to be confronted by Josh Briggs. Jensen pushed Briggs away from Spears. However, this momentary distraction allowed Evans to pick up the win. Following the match, Jensen attacked Evans from behind and he had to be stopped by Briggs.

It will be interesting to see if Brooks Jensen will be able to change his behavior in time before he gets fired for his actions.

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.
