A vignette hyping the debut of Nick Wayne aired on Wedneday’s Dynamite.
In the vignette, which appeared to be the first in a series, Darby Allin was shown at the Buddy Wayne Academy in Washington, where he trained to become a wrestler back in 2014. Allin talked about how he trained with Buddy and with Nick, then talked about how when Buddy passed away in 2017, he made a pact with himself that he was going to watch over Nick and that he would make sure he gets everything he wants in life. They showed footage of Allin giving Nick his AEW contract back in February of 2022. He said Nick is now 18 and ready to show the world what he can do.
In the last year, Nick has wrestled for GCW, DEFY, Progress, and DDT, with key matches against the likes of Steve Strickland, Will Ospreay, and Konosuke Takeshita. Nick defeated Strickland for the DEFY World Championship back on April 4, eventually losing the title to KENTA on June 3.
