By Marc Middleton

- The WWE Performance Center just released this behind-the-scenes look at Alex Shelley making his WWE NXT debut this month, and his history with Kushida as The Time Splitters.

As noted, Shelley made his in-ring debut for WWE at the recent NXT live event in Pittsburgh as The Time Splitters defeated The Forgotten Sons. Shelley then made his NXT TV debut this week as The Time Splitters lost a first round Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament match to The Grizzled Young Veterans. There's still no word on Shelley's WWE contract status and future, but it looks like he and Kushida will continue to work the NXT tag team division together.

- The dark match before today's WWE NXT UK TV tapings from the York Barbican in York, England saw Michael May defeat Iestyn Rees. Rees dominated the match until May rolled him up with a small package. May has appeared for the brand before, but this looks to be the NXT UK debut for Rees.

"Last night, for the 1st time ever in singles action, I faced off against @MsCharlotteWWE @btsportwwe To be the best, I have to beat the best. Didn't happen last night but I truly hope it won't be long before next time I'm opposite the Queen [crown emoji] in that sacred ring," she wrote.
