Derrian Gobourne, who entered into an NIL agreement with WWE in 2022’s June, was seen in New York City just ahead of WWE SmackDown TV’s weekly tapings.
We should clarify that there’s currently no confirmation whether this visit has any involvement with SmackDown, which is occurring at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Friday.
For this week’s NXT Level Up, WWE has revealed the details of three matchups, one of which includes Dion Lennox taking on Mark Coffey.
Here’s the latest lineup and the official preview for the upcoming show:
– Dante Chen & Drake Morreaux vs. Kale Dixon & Uriah Connors
– Dion Lennox vs. Mark Coffey
– Tyra Mae Steele vs. on Izzi Dame
NXT Level Up preview for Oct. 25, 2024: Battle featuring Chen & Morreaux against Dixon & Connors
A remarkable episode of NXT Level Up will showcase Dante Chen and Drake Morreaux in a head-to-head fight with Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors. Dion Lennox will square off against Mark Coffey and in a separate faceoff, Tyra Mae Steele will challenge Izzi Dame.
Known as The Gatekeeper of NXT for often pitting up-and-coming Superstars against each other, Chen is venturing into tag team territory partnering with Morreaux, a promising newcomer seeking his debut win.
Standing across the ring will be Dixon and Connors, a duo seen as the most haughty tag team in WWE, looking to recover from a recent defeat to Tyriek Igwe and Tyson Dupont.
The Coffey Brothers and Wolfgang make no secret of their aversion to rookie Superstars.
Their trio, known for their toughness, has been targeting less seasoned fighters recently. This trend will carry on as Mark Coffey, a former Heritage Cup Champion, aims to intimidate Lennox, a talented newbie who recently lost narrowly to Brooks Jensen on NXT.
Steele, a past winner of the Olympic gold, has shown her skills in several close losses to the likes of Wren Sinclair, Tatum Paxley, and Kendal Grey. She’ll aim for her first professional victory against Dame, who is known for her pragmatism.
Dame has secured victory in her last two matches, winning against Karmen Petrovic on NXT, and then beating Layla Diggs on NXT Level Up.
Don’t miss this must-see episode of NXT Level Up, airing on Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock for viewers in the United States, and on WWE Network for international audiences.
