X-Pac and Eric Bischoff Set to Appear on Next Week’s WWE NXT

A pair of WWE Hall of Famers will make special appearances on the December 3 episode of NXT.

Sean “X-Pac” Waltman and Eric Bischoff are both set to appear on the show, as revealed during this week’s broadcast.

Bischoff made an appearance on the video wall during the November 26 episode, interrupting a heated exchange between NXT Champion Trick Williams and his Deadline challenger Ridge Holland. From his home in Cody, Wyoming, Bischoff confirmed he would be in attendance next week to mediate a face-to-face confrontation between the two.

Later in the show, X-Pac announced his upcoming appearance via a social media post:

"See you next week, @TheRealXPac!" 🙌 #WWENXT
