Identity of hooded figure on NXT (Patreon)

A HOODED FIGURE appeared on NXT this week as a distraction during the Trick Williams/Carmelo Hayes story.

The figure appeared on the stage, pretending to be Carmelo Hayes, allowing Carmelo to attack Trick Williams. Fightful Select has learned that head NXT referee Darryl Sharma aka Adrian Butler played the role.

You can see the shoes in the picture Darryl Sharma posted today, which were the same as those that the masked man wore last night. Completely separate of that, NXT sources also confirmed it was him.
