Kross, Thatcher and Lumis on NXT

It is safe to say all three men mentioned by Shawn Michaels has made an instant impact upon their arrival in NXT. Kross has been lurking in the shadows for weeks now and finally struck on Tommaso Ciampa two weeks ago. Thatcher turned up as Pete Dunne's replacement in the NXT Tag Team Championship match against Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish and secured the win.

Lumis, who made his debut in NXT during the Breakout Tournament, has been having a close eye on The Undisputed Era. Last week, he came to the aid of Velveteen Dream and helped him pin Adam Cole during the main event.

We would say HBK has got his assessment spot on at the moment and it does seem that these three have a bright future in NXT.
