Former Impact Wrestling star Robbie E, now working under the name Levi Strauss, appears to have found his first clients as a manager for the WWE NXT brand.
The one-time X-Division Champion recently signed with the company as a part of a new push to bring in more managers to work with developmental talent. Stokely Hathaway also recently debuted his new client, and even on the main roster we’ve seen Paige return to television as a manager for the new team of Asuka and Kairi Sane.
Strauss appeared at Saturday night’s NXT Live event in Tampa, FL just moments after Dan Matha and Riddick Moss stormed the ring to dispose of four other wrestlers who were in the midst of a tag team match. You can actually watch a short clip of the two hurling Mansoor back to Orlando.
After the attack, Straus came out and announced that Matha and Moss would be working together going forward, under the name of The Outliers. Or, perhaps The Outlierz. Never underestimate WWE’s affinity for adding unnecessary Z’s to words.
