ORLANDO, Fla. — NXT continues to show why it is the fastest-growing brand in sports-entertainment, making waves with another huge signing during Friday’s tapings at the CFE Arena on the campus of the University of Central Florida.

Austin Aries, a 15-year veteran of the squared circle who’s competed against the likes of Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins and Samoa Joe, was introduced by NXT General Manager William Regal as NXT's newest signee. Aries' surprising NXT arrival will air on Wednesday, March 2 on WWE Network.

News of Aries’ arrival was first reported on the official NXT Twitter account. WWE COO Triple H also tweeted his thoughts on the huge signing.

Why has "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" chosen to step between the yellow ropes now? What does he have in store for the Superstars of Tomorrow? Find out by watching WWE NXT, Wednesdays at 8/7 C, only on WWE Network!

They signed Austin Aries... and are going to use him under that name... and they're letting him do his "Greatest Man That Ever Lived" gimmick? Perhaps I'll start watching NXT, I dunno?

NXT is good. Even if you don't watch the weekly shows I would recommend watching their TakeOver events which are like their monthly PPV shows, but I think they only have about 5 or 6 a year.

I just hope that these guys like Aries get a chance on the main roster at some point. Joe has been in NXT for a while now and it doesn't seem they are planning on moving him up at any point soon. Maybe he will show up in the Rumble tonight seeing as they had him put over Balor at their last PPV show.

MS is right, if your going to catch anything it should be the Takeover shows. There hasn't been one that has been anything less than stellar yet.

The weekly NXT shows are normally worth catching for whatever the main event is, with the rest of the show mainly being established talent squashing the new people that are just good enough to be on tv.

Regarding Aries, this is a great pick up. I can see him being a NXT guy that is also a coach and not really a main roster guy, especially after last night and seeing how small AJ Styles really was compared to most of the roster.

Hi Stephanie. Yeah, you're right, Aries is clearly a B+ player.
