Recently, WWE NXT has been introducing new faces at a noticeable rate. A recent episode saw the return of a former TNA Wrestling favorite, as well as the mention of two future additions to the team.
Joe Hendry made a significant impression at the Capitol Wrestling Center, first appearing alongside the commentary team when Vic Joseph mentioned his name during the initial six-man tag team match. This match resulted in a victory for The Rascalz against Gallus:
“HE’S HERE!”
“Joe Hendry is back!!!#WWENXT.”

Following the match, Hendry became the topic of negative discussions by Gallus. As they voiced their complaints about him, Hendry once again made an appearance. Gallus insulted him, stating that nobody likes him. They claimed that when people think of Scottish professional wrestling, they think of Gallus and Drew McIntyre, not “some flash in the pan.”
In response, Hendry proudly claimed to be the most discussed Superstar in all of NXT. He mentioned enjoying his time in NXT and confirmed that he intends to stay. Perhaps Gallus would be less upset if they believed in the ultimate solution to all of life’s problems, as embodied by Joe Hendry.
“Say his name and he appears!@joehendry #WWENXT.”

Regarding the women’s division, the episode did not center around any TNA Wrestling persona but instead focused on two new yet-to-debut signees, Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer.
Roxanne Perez, after a victorious match against Lola Vice and her control over the women’s division, acknowledged the two new signings:
“You know what really, really pisses me off? It’s the fact that all the talk online is ‘When Giulia comes to NXT, Roxanne’s in trouble! When Stephanie Vaquer comes, she’s gonna run through the NXT women’s division.’ Well you know what? Why don’t you go ahead and roll out a red carpet for them? As a matter of fact, roll out the red carpet for any talent around the world. Because when they step inside the ring with me, no one compares to The Prodigy.”
Roxanne’s next challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship will be against Thea Hail in an upcoming edition of the two-week NXT Great American Bash specials.
“No one compares to The Prodigy”@roxanne_wwe says no one in the entire world is on her level. 👀#WWENXT
