This week’s episode of NXT was nothing short of spectacular, bringing unexpected moments and exciting announcements that left fans buzzing. The highlight of the night was the unexpected appearance of rapper Sexyy Red, who delighted the audience with a backstage performance alongside WWE legend Shawn Michaels, aka HBK. In a memorable moment, Sexyy Red sang Michaels’ iconic theme song, with HBK himself joining in.
The fun didn’t stop there. Triple H, known for his playful jabs at his D-Generation X brother, couldn’t resist mocking the situation. He humorously remarked, “Let’s all be glad he didn’t start twerking,” adding to the lighthearted atmosphere of the show.
But the surprises didn’t end with Sexyy Red’s performance. The episode also featured the unexpected arrival of TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace. Grace’s appearance set the stage for a highly anticipated crossover match, as she was announced as the next challenger for Roxanne Perez’s NXT Women’s Championship at the Battleground premium live event on June 9th.

According to Fightful Select, Grace’s involvement in NXT is part of a contractual arrangement guaranteeing her at least three appearances. This deal includes her recent surprise appearance, as well as two additional matches that have been previously advertised. She is set to face Stevie Turner on next week’s episode.
Notably, Grace is being handsomely compensated for her NXT stint, with her earnings reportedly reaching six figures. In addition to her in-ring activities, Jordynne Grace is capitalizing on her NXT exposure by launching a new t-shirt, further amplifying the excitement surrounding her crossover. As fans gear up for her match at NXT Battleground, there is growing speculation about whether this short run could potentially lead to a more extended tenure with NXT in the future.
This week’s NXT episode has undoubtedly set a high bar, combining music, humor, and thrilling wrestling action that left fans eagerly anticipating the next developments.
