Being a WWE Superstar involves more than just wrestling; it’s about the bond in the locker room and the ring. Recent changes in the roster and the somber atmosphere at a recent show shed light on the dynamics backstage.
WWE made surprising cuts, releasing seven wrestlers, including Von Wagner and Cameron Grimes, just ahead of the 2024 WWE Draft. Speculation surrounds major shifts for NXT alongside the usual Draft surprises.
Baron Corbin’s journey is noteworthy. Since the 2023 Draft, he’s been a free agent but landed in NXT. Despite the alliance with Bron Breakker, dubbed The Wolf Dogs, and losing the NXT Tag Team Championship, Breakker transitioned to SmackDown, while Corbin remained in NXT. Though rumors swirled about Corbin’s return to the main roster, he dismissed them, hinting at his NXT stay.
Corbin faced Lexis King at NXT Spring Breakin’ Night 1, hinting at his potential draft to RAW or SmackDown, as per sources. The event, a success, had a subdued atmosphere backstage due to recent releases, particularly Von Wagner’s departure, a figurehead in NXT.
Corbin and Breakker’s tag team success, winning the 2024 Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, highlights their impact during their 55-day reign.
Meanwhile, Night 1 of NXT Spring Breakin’ charm fans, boasting high ratings and social media buzz. Night 2 promised more excitement, headlined by Trick Williams’ NXT Championship victory over Ilja Dragunov, with a celebratory post-match segment featuring Triple H and others.
WWE announced the updated Night 2 lineup, promising an engaging showdown:
– Jacy Jayne vs. Thea Hail
– Debut of Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe vs. TBD
– NXT North American Champion Oba Femi defends against Ivar
– NXT Tag Team Champions Axiom and Nathan Frazer defend against The Authors of Pain
– NXT Underground: Natalya (with Karmen Petrovic) vs. Lola Vice (with Shayna Baszler)
