Here is the update on the rumored “Mighty Mouse” gimmick for former
NXT Champion
Adrian Neville. The idea wasn’t specifically for Neville, as
Vince McMahon has reportedly wanted to do a “Mighty Mouse” underdog type of character with a small wrestler for a while. They considered the role for American freestyle wrestler (and Olympic gold medallist) Henry Cejudo, but he opted to sign with the UFC instead.
Cejudo (who fights at 125 pounds) currently has an MMA record of 8-0, going 2-0 in the UFC so far.
]In addition to Kevin "Steen" Owens, Sami "El Generico" Zayn didn’t work the
NXT house shows over the weekend because he is out of action due to a shoulder injury.
