In a thrilling turn of events, WWE Superstar Michin made a long-awaited comeback to the NXT brand on May 7, 2024, with a resounding singles victory over Arianna Grace. This marked her return to the white and gold brand after an astonishing 1350-day hiatus. The highly anticipated match did not disappoint, as Michin showcased her superior striking prowess, dominating the bout with her lightning-fast movements and relentless attacks on her opponent.
Grace, however, refused to back down, attempting to regain momentum and almost forcing Michin into an armbar submission move. The WWE Superstar’s impressive strength allowed her to break free from the hold, and she swiftly countered with a resounding slam onto the canvas. Despite Grace’s subsequent attempts to score a pinfall, Michin’s resilience and agility ultimately led to her securing a powerful German Suplex, followed by a barrage of vicious strikes, culminating in a flamboyant pinfall victory.
This commanding performance sent a clear message to the women’s locker room, announcing Michin’s intentions to make a significant impact in her return to NXT. Notably, her last televised win dates back to January 16, 2023, when she defeated former WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY on RAW. Her previous feud with the Damage CTRL member for the title suggests Michin is now gearing up for another championship pursuit.
Interestingly, Michin’s return to NXT coincides with her interest in the six-woman ladder match to determine the inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion. Yim, alongside other competitors, will participate in qualifying matches, with the six winners advancing to the ladder match at NXT Battleground. As a member of The O.C. on Friday Night SmackDown, Michin’s current storyline may involve targeting NXT stars to claim the new title.
Michin’s triumphant return to NXT has set the stage for an electrifying series of events, with fans eagerly anticipating her next move in the pursuit of championship glory.
