Another loaded episode of WWE NXT has been announced for next week as the brand returns to the road, leaving its WWE PC territory. Legendary Hardy Boyz will be in attendance at the show including an in-ring debut of an ex-AEW wrestler. Plus, two titles will also be on the line in this episode.
The formerly known Ricky Starks, re-christened as Ricky Saints on this week’s WWE NXT following his official contract signing, will team up with Je’Von Evans against Ethan Page and Wes Lee.

The Hardy Boyz made a surprise appearance on Tuesday’s WWE NXT via a video promo session originally posted on his X handle.
