As a seasoned gamer of WWE NXT, I’ve seen it all – from the raw power of Roman Reigns to the cunning strategies of The Miz. But this new era on The CW is shaping up to be something truly special! The announcement that CM Punk will be making a mysterious appearance in Chicago, his hometown, has me buzzing like a wrestling ring on fire! And let’s not forget about The Miz hosting a street fight – now that’s a spectacle I can’t wait to see.
WWE NXT is about to begin a fresh chapter on The CW in a short while, and we had some insights about one key match-up at the event, along with a notable superstar appearance. However, tonight’s NXT broadcast brought even more disclosures for the grand premiere. Some of this information was shared on the show itself, some emerged through social media, and other potential matches and appearances were merely hinted at throughout the evening. We decided to gather all the confirmed details, teased elements, and our top predictions for the start of NXT’s new phase on The CW.
Superstar Appearances
Kick things off by discussing some notable figures gracing the premiere event. Among them is CM Punk, whose appearance was mentioned when the original CW deal was first announced. Being a native of Chicago, where the premiere will be held, his presence at the event seems only natural to draw attention. However, it’s not just about attracting crowds; CM Punk has been deeply involved with NXT since his return to WWE, which is why he won’t merely attend the premiere but also contribute in a more significant way.
Tonight on NXT, it was announced that CM Punk will make an appearance before the grand premiere events, and he’ll be unveiling something intriguing during the upcoming episode of NXT. Details about what he’ll disclose are still under wraps, but it appears his discussions with NXT General Manager Ava Raine were sparked by his response to Giulia’s debut on NXT. It remains to be seen if Punk has a potential opponent in mind from Raw who could be an excellent match for Giulia, though the answer is anyone’s guess at this point.
As a devoted fan myself, I can’t help but be excited about more than just Punk after tonight’s episode! WWE has shared some intriguing news too – The Miz is heading to Chicago for a unique episode of Miz TV. No word yet on who his guest will be, but there’s an enticing possibility: The Don of NXT, Tony D’Angelo. Fingers crossed that this dream match-up becomes a reality!
Prior to the broadcast of tonight’s episode, two additional stars had expressed interest in joining the competition. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill both announced their intentions to attend the event in Chicago. Shawn Michaels further hinted at this by stating he would meet them in Chicago, suggesting that both male and female divisions might experience some interaction with the main roster during the show.
The Matches
Previously, only one official bout was set for the show, but it was a significant one: Roxanne Perez was to defend her NXT Women’s Championship against the latest addition to NXT, Giulia. However, following an encounter backstage where Giulia defeated Chelsea Green, another face-off between these two stars is highly likely to be the main event tonight.
Tonight, I was thrilled to see Trick Williams emerge victorious against Pete Dunne, clinching the opportunity to challenge Ethan Page for the NXT Championship at the premiere! Unlike their previous encounter where they had other opponents to contend with, this time it’s a one-on-one showdown. But given their history, I can’t help but suspect there might be some unexpected twists and turns along the way.
Apart from the two confirmed bouts, another match seemed almost set in stone. During the evening, Wes Lee seized Vic Joseph’s microphone and challenged Zachary Wentz to a street fight at the upcoming premier event. Wentz overpowered Lee at No Mercy and secured a clear victory. Interestingly, Wentz was crowned TNA’s X-Division Champion the night before, and Lee eagerly awaits the opportunity to lower his former friend’s status with a win on the NXT CW stage.
Predictions and Surprises
As a passionate gamer, let me walk you through what I’m anticipating for the upcoming event. It seems like some outcomes are already shaping up, but there’s always that exciting element of surprise. The NXT Women’s Title and the NXT Title are both in play, and neither contender hails from TNA. With the frequent crossovers, it’s only a matter of time before one occurs during the premiere.
From a passionate fan’s perspective, one intriguing crossover that’s generating buzz is the potential encounter between Josh Alexander and his former tag team partner, Ethan Page. Since Page ascended to the NXT Championship, Alexander and he haven’t shared the ring yet. Another exciting prospect is Joe Hendry potentially joining the fray at the premiere. Given their past rivalry in TNA, integrating this conflict could add an extra layer of intrigue to the mix.
Apart from Fatal Influence who have been prominent on NXT TV, they are yet to secure significant victories as a unit. Tonight’s NXT hinted at Jacy Jayne potentially engaging with Grace, and another partnership between Lola Vice and Jaida Parker might be in the works. Kelani Jordan suggests this duo could be effective against Fatal Influence, so while Vice and Parker may join forces to confront them, a trio could imply that Jordan joins the opposing side for a potential showdown at the debut.
In addition to appearing in NXT, Lyra Valkyria has been seen assisting her friend Tatum Paxley. Meanwhile, Paxley has encountered the fresh team of Rosemary and Choo. If we don’t witness Grace cooperating with Choo, it’s possible that Valkyria and Paxley could lead the charge in a tag match at an upcoming event. It’s also conceivable that this situation could lead to a future encounter between Valkyria and Grace.
