Former Impact Wrestling / Ring Of Honor star Austin Aries was just spotted arriving at Full Sail University, the location of tonight’s NXT TV tapings.

Austin Aries, who has worked for both ROH and TNA this year, briefly stopped to sign autographs on his way into the venue. While he is present, his role is unclear and it is not confirmed that Aries will be used in an on-air capacity.

Due to TNA previously taping World Title Series matches over the summer, Aries is currently still appearing on Impact Wrestling on Destination America in the tournament.

WWE Scaling Back On Scouting Criteria For Indy Talent; Looking To Beef Up NXT Roster, Is WWE Looking To Run An Australian PPV? - Wrestlezone

WWE is reportedly looking to load up on talent heading into the new year, and previous “limitations” based on look and build won’t be used when scouting.

According to reports, WWE is looking to get new top stars for NXT touring, and would run it as a WWE style production, but they could promote “Ring Of Honor” level main events. Apparently Vince McMahon wasn’t too high on ROH and TNA talent appearing on the main WWE roster if they were already on a national cable show somewhere else first, but it’s reported to be a non-issue when it comes the emphasis on a “workrate” type promotion like on the NXT roster.

They need to bring kenny king in while they at it
Yeah I'm surprised they haven't. Never expected Aries to be in WWE, this is weird, despite what that second report says. At the same time, I do feel NXT lacks star power, I stopped watching it a while ago.

They have to bring in Styles and Young Bucks as soon as possible, and stop ignoring TNA. Like do they actually see them as a credible threat?
