I mean, why would you have someone debut against a guy you just set up as the main event in your PPV (that takes place in a week)?
It's a no win situation, either the new guy gets beat or you have a non finish that does them no favors. Plus in this case it literally gets overshadowed in seconds by furthering the angle you just started.
Piss poor presentation all around, and another example of NXT guys having extra obstacles placed in front of them.
