Fabian Aichner made many new fans, this week
NXT on the USA Network kicked off with a showcase match between Fabian Aichner and the NXT Champion, Andrade 'Cien' Almas, the lovely Zelina Vega by his side. The match did not last long, and as expected, the Champion picked up quite an easy win.

What was noteworthy however, is just how much Aichner impressed in the short time that he was given. The announcers alluded to the fact that Aichner was a part of the Cruiserweight Classic, for which he had shed weight. Now the pounds were back, but the agility remained!
There were moments, where we almost wondered if Aichner would cause a massive upset and pin the champion on television. While that was not the case, this week at least, we're certain that the higher ups have taken note of what Aichner can do in the ring.
The future is bright for this incredibly talented Italian star.
