On the April 2, 2012 editon of Raw, Bloom debuted as Lord Tensai and defeated Alex Riley as a result of the referee stopping the match. While the match commentary did make reference to him being a returning WWE Superstar, there were no specific references made to any of Bloom's former personas. WWE's website later acknowledged that he had previously appeared as A-Train before leaving to compete in Japan where he embraced the Japanese culture.[37]
