Eddy Thorpe found his fortune turning around multiple times on the same night during the latest NXT episode from the Performance Center.
The 34-year-old picked up a big victory during the show. He won the last chance fatal four-way match to qualify for the Men’s Iron Survivor challenge at the upcoming Deadline event. Thorpe expressed confidence in winning the upcoming PPV match in an interview after the bout.
Following the main event segment of the show featuring Roxanne Perez however, the cameras hurried through the backstage area. We saw Thorpe laid out as the cameras came to a halt and the show then went off air.
This comes after Thorpe was involved in a high-profile segment during last week’s NXT. He confronted General Manager Ava in a backstage segment.
After Eddy accidentally caused Ava to be knocked down, NXT Head Shawn Michaels shoved him into a corner in a rare physical interaction.
Ava is the daughter of WWE board member Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson. So the speculation that a Bloodline member could be behind this attack is not too far-fetched.
The attack is most likely to make Thorpe unavailable for the Deadline event this Saturday. The Big question is who will replace the development star if he can’t compete at the show.
