WWE star seemingly takes a shot at The Rock in front of Ava; massive character change underway

A WWE star seemed to have fired a shot at The Rock tonight. He has been undergoing a character change lately.

Ever since his NXT debut, Lexis King has been one of the top heels in the brand. He has done everything he can to win matches, even if that meant cheating his way to the top. However, in recent weeks, King has undergone a change in character. The former AEW star has indicated that he is a changed person who doesn't want to win by cheating. He even challenged Oro Mensah to a Gentleman's Duel on the October 15 episode of WWE NXT.

Lexis King was involved in a backstage segment tonight on WWE NXT with Charlie Dempsey, who agreed to face him for the Heritage Cup next week. However, there was just one glaring problem: King needed to find a cornerman for the match. Later on the show, he met Ava and told her he needed a cornerman for his Heritage Cup match, but no one wanted the job since they thought he was like his father, Brian Pillman Sr.

Ava then informed him that she couldn't force anyone to be his cornerman. Lexis King told her that she wouldn't understand since "everyone loves you guys." The "you guys" here could refer to Ava and her father, The Rock, who is universally loved by millions.

It will be interesting to see if anyone will step up to be Lexis King's cornerman for next week.
