#1 Indie sensation's debut goes slightly awry

Lio Rush was crushed during his NXT debut!

Even if you haven't heard of Lio Rush from the indies, chances are you have seen the clip of his that went viral on the internet, not long ago. The one where he no sells a table bump.

The independent sensation is now a part of NXT, but his debut against Aleister Black was ruined by The Velveteen Dream, a man who's been desperate for Black to notice him and pay attention to his highly eccentric ways.

As for The Velveteen Dream, while his elbow drop may not be as picture-perfect as the one Kairi Sane delivers, but because of his larger size, it looks quite deadly. We're really curious with regard to where his storyline with the enigmatic Black is headed.

All @VelveteenWWE wants is a little recognition from @WWEAleister... but he's getting NONE of it! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/NLbnczldBA
