Three NXT names are headed to Texas—and they’re bringing the fight with them.
WWE’s developmental brand will have a noticeable presence at Reality of Wrestling’s upcoming Power Shift event, going down June 14 in Texas City. The promotion, founded by WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, will feature both singles and tag team action involving NXT talent.
One of the featured matches includes Thea Hail, who will go one-on-one with Monica Monroe. Hail is also scheduled for the June 17 episode of NXT on The CW, where she’s set to face Jaida Parker in an Evolution Eliminator match—but first, she’s making a quick stop at Booker T’s home turf.
NXT Tag Team Champions Hank and Tank are also set for the show. They’ll be defending their titles against the team of Big Luther and Terrale Tempo, putting some serious gold on the line in front of a Texas crowd.
The mix of NXT stars and ROW talent is sure to bring extra attention to the card, especially with Hail’s double-duty weekend and a title defense on the road.
Is this kind of NXT crossover what the brand needs more of? Would you like to see WWE send even more talent to independent shows like this? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know who you’ll be watching at Power Shift.
