It doesn’t get much more iconic in professional wrestling than Sgt. Slaughter and the legendary superstar made a surprise appearance on tonight’s episode of NXT. As Dominik Dijakovic and Killian Dain came out to the ring the camera panned to the crowd and spotted Slaughter enjoying the show, and we’re sure the stars of NXT appreciated having a legend like Slaughter out in the audience. It appears he was digging the action in the ring, and you can check out a photo of him in attendance below.
