He was wrestling under his real name for this match and it was only a house show, so it probably doesn't mean much.

Probably just a test to see how the crowd reacts to him not being El Generico considering he was wrestling with the gimmick and mask when he arrived at NXT. Like Xero said, they want to see how flexible he might be without the Generic gimmick for any future plans.
Would be really dumb for the WWE to drop his gimmick considering they could make a good amount of money from mask sales alone. Same reason why they got Sin Cara since they wanted his mask sales to be the future replacement for Rey's.
