WWE NXT notes: New Fatal Influence member, tag team returns
News and notes coming from Tuesday’s NXT.
OTM made their return on NXT, attacking Chase U, Hank & Tank, and the Culling while they were wrestling a triple threat tag team match. Bronco Nima and Lucien Price laid out all three teams in dominant fashion, cementing themselves as future contenders. It was later announced that they would be back in action next week against Hank & Tank.
The two haven’t teamed together since January of this year, out of action due to injuries.
During Tuesday’s show, a video package aired of Fatal Influence explaining that Jazmyn Nyx was eliminated by someone that wanted to prove their loyalty to them in a way that “the other” never did. It was then revealed that Laney Reid was sitting next to them. Reid said that falling short against Jayne earlier this year made her realize that in order to get like the NXT Women’s Champion, she needs to follow in her direction. Jayne then welcomed Reid as the newest member of Fatal Influence.
The trio eventually returned at the end of the night, when Tatum Paxley won a battle royal to become the new number one contender for Jayne’s title. The show ended with the new trio staring down Paxley, who celebrated with longtime friend Lyra Valkyria.
