WWE trailblazer Aaron Rourke has made his NXT debut just three months after making history as the first openly gay male wrestler to win a WWE singles championship.
The reigning EVOLVE Champion retained his title against Tristan Angels on Tuesday 23 June.
After a hard-fought back-and-forth match, a mysterious distraction helped swing momentum back in Rourke’s favour, allowing him to secure the win and keep hold of the championship.

@Stevensully99 Being a child begging my parents to see this I nearly was crying cause like wtf I wasn’t born the same year this movie came out, have my woody and buzz action figures just for them to die?!?!
@CHlRAQMINAJ From what I know about cameras is that probably they have a little red light in the front and when it turns on that means that camera is the current one rolling but it can be something different too
Charlotte Flair says she never understood the controversy surrounding the WWE Divas Championship:
"To me, it was the one title that I felt owned me and I didn't own.
"I was also, as an athlete, so proud to hold the Divas Championship and feel like a diva, when at my core was an athlete, and realising you could be both at the same time. Then when I retired it, I took a lot of pride, because you have to look at the women before me.
"Had I not retired the Divas Championship, and ended Nikki Bella's longest reigning Divas Championship reign, where would I be today? It was like all part of the history.
"I never understood the controversy in it, like just because it had a butterfly? Well, I'm still a badass and I wear butterflies all the time. You can still be strong, it doesn't mean anything.
"I think it's having the duality, having the feminine energy and being badass at the same time, that's what makes women so special, we can do it all."
