Probably since there have been rumors recently of him being a candidate for upcoming call-ups which wouldn't happen if he still had an NXT-only deal with the WWE. Then again Rhyno was rumored to have an NXT-only deal and he showed up during the Dudleys vs Wyatts feud.
There are a few people in NXT that have NXT-only and/or allow indie dates like Ciampa and I assume Gargano since both are from Evolve.
