Surprising NXT star is getting the call up for a WrestleMania match

This came out of nowhere.

WWE NXT superstar Tian Bing is the latest announced entrant for the Andre The Giant memorial battle royal at WrestleMania 33.

Bing was revealed as the latest contestant in an Instagram post that features WWE trainer Matt Bloom and Bing shaking hands.

As of this writing, Bing is currently the only NXT superstar confirmed to be in the match, but it's likely that Bing won't be the only NXT superstar to compete in the match.

Bing is the first Chinese wrestler ever signed by the WWE, but since his signing last summer he hasn't been featured prominently on WWE television.

Perhaps giving Bing this spot is a prelude to him getting a larger role on NXT after WrestleMania.
