WWE RAW star set for surprise NXT Spring Breakin' appearance - Reports
WWE NXT will present Night One of its 2024 Spring Breakin' special tonight on the USA Network. Spoiler details have just leaked from backstage at the Performance Center, including plans for a RAW Superstar.
Tonight's NXT will feature a contract signing for the first-ever women's NXT Underground match between Natalya and Lola Vice. The shoot-style MMA-inspired match will then take place next Tuesday on Night Two.
The Queen of Harts was trained by Karmen Petrovic, who has some MMA experience, while a mystery trainer has been teased for the 2023 Women's Breakout Tournament winner, who has a MMA record of 4-1 with Bellator.
The Strike Artist is set to reveal another main roster superstar as her trainer. A new report from Fightful Select indicates that Shayna Baszler is scheduled to be the mystery trainer for Vice.
It was noted that Baszler and NXT authority figure Ava are scheduled to participate in tonight's NXT Underground contract signing. It's likely that Petrovic will also be in the ring.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels are booking more RAW and SmackDown Superstars in NXT as part of a major shift in plans for the brand. It will be interesting to see the dynamic between The Queen of Harts and The Queen of Spades, as Natalya and Baszler have not teamed up since 2022 and were feuding throughout 2023.
