McGillicutty is the son of WWE Hall of Famer, Curt Henning, and has been in the WWE Developmental territory since 2008 - holding the Florida Championship Wrestling Heavyweight title once.
The Miz will be returning for the second season running, with his rookie, Alex Riley seemingly as egotistical and arrogant as his Pro.

The surprise Pros in the new season are team "LayCool", the co-Women's Champions Michelle McCool and Layla and the first Divas on NXT.
Their rookie is Kaval, who seems to have already found himself a high-profile fan in WWE Champion John Cena who, via his Twitter account said: "Keep an eye on Kaval. I see something there."

Second generation superstar Cody Rhodes' rookie is a third generation wrestler himself. Husky Harris is the grandson of Blackjack Mulligan and son of Mike Rotunda, the "I.R.S" man, but will Cody be able to control the 6ft 2in, 295lb livewire, Harris?
"Mr 305" himself MVP mentors a fellow Florida athlete in Percy Watson, a self confessed party animal from South Beach, home to the famous Ocean Drive, in what looks like will be a very cohesive partnership.
Mark Henry's rookie should think himself lucky to be tutored by the "World's Strongest Man."
Lucky Cannon, a former sheriff deputy has a never say die attitude and a few interesting life stories we are sure to find out in the coming weeks on NXT.
