WWE NXT notes: Mr. NXT pageant announced, Saquon Shugars, Marie Malenko
Notes from Tuesday’s WWE NXT.
Over the last couple of weeks, Shiloh Hill has been passing a petition around in an effort to name himself Mr. NXT over Tristian Angels, who has grown infuriated over Hill’s actions and behavior. After Hill managed to defeat Charlie Dempsey on Tuesday, Angels came out and informed Hill they have both been entered into the Mr. NXT pageant that will take place in two weeks time on June 9.
Saquon Shugars appears, Marie Malenko wrestles in dark match
Meanwhile, DarkState continued to run roughshod after taking out Shugars from the group on last week’s show, targeting Myles Borne and Tavion Heights. The closing moments of the show saw the trio walk out of the Performance Center, happy with what they had accomplished. But what they didn’t see was Shugars watching them from afar on top of a production truck, seemingly plotting revenge against his former stablemates.
Marie Malenko, the daughter of current AEW producer and former WWE & WCW star Dean Malenko, had her first WWE match on Tuesday, wrestling Zena Sterling. Marie had wrestled for Marigold and Pro Wrestling NOAH before joining the company, who officially announced her signing last week.
