That's his real name, he doesn't even have a ring name yet. I know he's been on a few NXT live events but this was his first TV match. He's been security or background noise mostly on NXT.
Roman only had 3 solo NXT TV appearances before he left for the main roster as part of the Shield. He came back a few times with The Shield in 2013. If he did show up this year it would be 11 years since his last appearance.
Edit: I went back and watched all those matches. The first Shield match the crowd started chanting "We Believe." I had to do a double take, I thought Joe Hendry was going to show up... in 2013.
Wow I just realized. Nothing for the women advertised ahead of time. I'm sure they will have some segments but it's been a while since that's happened, at least it feels like it.
