Bennett will debut at the 12/14 NWA Into the Fire PPV and work the subsequent TV tapings in Atlanta, GA on 12/15 and 12/16.
Bennett, who won the first season of WWE NXT and had a long run with WWE, departed in 2016, last wrestling in April of that year. Since then, he has focused mostly on acting and hosting endeavors, starring in the film I Am Vengeance as well as Netflix's Beastmaster, but has made non-wrestling appearances for ITV's World of Sport Wrestling in Great Britain.
