Major star set for “goodbye” promo on WWE NXT - Reports

WWE is set to present Week Two of The Great American Bash in just a few moments. After a blockbuster episode aired for Week One, Shawn Michaels and his NXT crew surely have another loaded show for tonight. Sources have just revealed spoilers for The Great American Bash, including a potential swerve.

Joe Hendry is widely credited with providing a significant boost of interest into the WWE NXT - TNA forbidden door working relationship. The current TNA star performed a concert last week, but was attacked by Gallus. Hendry will now make his WWE singles in-ring debut on tonight's NXT as he locks up with Joe Coffey.

The Global Hero is also planned for an in-ring promo on tonight's NXT. This is expected to be a "goodbye" promo of sorts, according to Fightful Select. It's very interesting to note that the segment was not fully rehearsed ahead of time.

Sources were not clear on if TNA is wrapping up Hendry's run in NXT, but word is that he recently scaled back his duties within his own promotion/school, Discovery Wrestling in Edinburgh, Scotland. It remains to be seen if the changes have to do with Hendry training full-time at the WWE Performance Center, which he just revealed when praising both companies for his "unprecedented" deal.

Tonight's opening match is scheduled to be Pete Dunne vs. Trick Williams. The NXT Championship is booked for mid-way through the show, while the scheduled main event will be for the NXT Tag Team Championship. Sources have revealed another potential major debut spoiler for tonight. Below is the current lineup:

  • Joe Hendry vs. Joe Coffey
  • Pete Dunne vs. Trick Williams
  • Wren Sinclair vs. Kendal Grey
  • Tag Team Champions Axiom and Nathan Frazer defend vs. Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz
  • Women's North American Champion Kelani Jordan defends vs. Tatum Paxley
  • NXT Champion Ethan Page defends vs. Oro Mensah

The Great American Bash will air on Syfy in the usual timeslot tonight due to the USA Network covering the Paris Olympics. NXT will resume on the USA Network next Tuesday.
