Austin Aries took to Twitter on Saturday night to address some rumors that had been spreading on the web about him.

There were reports online that Aries supposedly “no showed” this weekend’s NXT live events. Aries that this isn’t true, and that him not being on certain shows wasn’t unexpected. While he wasn’t in front of the crowd at this week’s NXT TV tapings, he was backstage for pre-tapes.

Aries may have been advertised locally for the events, but there have been many cases in the last year where WWE advertises names for events who aren’t booked for the shows.

The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion is scheduled to be back on the NXT live event circuit later this month for events in San Antonio, Robstown, and Houston
