The following week’s episode of WWE NXT, set to occur in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s 2300 Arena on Wednesday night due to the 2024 Presidential Election, has a roster of intriguing match-ups and segments planned.
Bubba Ray Dudley, originally refusing to team up with Trick Williams against Ethan Page and Ridge Holland, ended up accepting the proposal after being attacked by Page and Holland post-promotional segment.
Meanwhile, Zaria, after a victorious in-ring debut against Brinley Reece, was ambushed by Fatal Influence, Cora Jade, and Roxanne Perez who aimed to overwhelm her through numbers. Fortunately, Zaria was not unprepared and had Kelani Jordan, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer and esteemed TNA athlete Jordynne Grace as backup. This led to an announcement of a 10-woman tag team match for the upcoming week.
In other news, Dawn Marie will serve as a special guest referee in a hardcore match between Lola Vice and Jaida Parker, following their month-long friction.
While not confirmed, wrestler Rob Van Dam is set to make an appearance on the show in an as of yet unspecified role, adding a degree of anticipation. In addition, Tony D’Angelo was seen receiving a cell phone from Luca Crusifino and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo in a backstage segment. The voicemail seemed to be from a disgruntled individual blaming Tony D for not informing them about his Philadelphia trip, and perhaps seeking retaliation for his NXT North American Championship.
There is also the likelihood of Adriana Rizzo, enraged after being attacked by Nikkita Lyons last week, planning a counter-attack.
The lineup for the upcoming week’s WWE NXT episode includes the following:
– Trick Williams & Bubba Ray Dudley vs. Ethan Page & Ridge Holland in a Tag Team Match.
– A Hardcore Match with special guest referee, Dawn Marie, featuring Lola Vice vs. Jaida Parker.
– An appearance by Rob Van Dam.
– A confrontation with an unidentified caller involving Tony D’Angelo.
– A 10-Woman Tag Team Match with Roxanne Perez, Cora Jade, Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx) vs. Zaria, Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia, Kelani Jordan and Jordynne Grace.
