Mason Rook pulled from NXT Championship match due to medical issues

Mason Rook has been pulled from his scheduled NXT Championship match against Grayson Waller after failing to receive medical clearance. WWE has not disclosed the specific nature of the medical issue, but NXT General Manager Robert Stone stated that Rook will be out of action for the foreseeable future.

Rook addressed the situation on social media, apologizing to fans and describing the setback as a ‘speed bump’ rather than a ‘roadblock.’ He emphasized that the situation was beyond his control but expressed his intention to return to the ring once cleared.

To maintain the championship defense on the September 29 episode of WWE NXT, Grayson Waller issued an open challenge. Following a backstage brawl involving several roster members, EK Prosper answered the challenge. Despite a high-intensity performance from Prosper, Waller successfully retained his title after hitting two rolling stunners.
