The above photograph has not been manipulated in any way. The American Wolves, Eddie "Eddie Edwards" Edwards and Davey Richards, are in a NXT ring. The team had reportedly spent the week getting a look over from WWE's developmental team at the Performance Center, which culminated in an extended match against the Ascension last night, according to friend of the blog and one of the minds behind Free Admission (For Real!), JP Nichols.
I don't want to jump to conclusions here; the Wolves, who were billed as the American Pitbulls last night, are not the first indie dudes who got looks and appearances on the actual NXT TV show who weren't immediately signed after. However, I would be curious to see how both wrestlers, especially Richards, would adapt from their hyper-puroresu-inspired strong-style to the WWE's more traditional psychology-based system. How much of their repertoires would they be able to keep? How would they adapt, if at all? Then again, they'll need to get signed first.
