Undertaker Returns As American Bad-Ass, Chokeslams Bron Breakker On WWE NXT

The teases of the “Dead Man” appearing on “WWE NXT” on Tuesday as it went head-to-head against “AEW Dynamite” ended up being true, but it wasn’t the Undertaker’s undead persona that made it to the ring on Tuesday. The WWE Hall of Famer rolled down the ramp, instead, confronting Bron Breakker on a motorcycle as “The American Bad-Ass.”

Undertaker made his appearance after Breakker took out Carmelo Hayes following their match, which Breakker lost. The young star was the first to get on the mic against the Hall of Famer and asked if he understood there was only one badass around “NXT.” While Breakker received “you f***ed up” chants from the crowd in the WWE Performance Center, Undertaker told Breakker that he had been watching him for a long time, and that one day he is going to be a special talent. But not today.

The legend then decked Breakker and got him up for a chokeslam as Hayes sat grinning in the corner. Undertaker got back on the mic to give Breakker a little advice, telling him there’s always an older, bigger, badder badass waiting around the corner, and that he “just met the baddest of them all.” Undertaker and Hayes then posed for the crowd as “NXT” went off the air.

Brian Pillman Jr’s Emotional Vignette Debuting On WWE NXT — As Lexis King?

In the midst of a very eventful Tuesday night, a vignette played on “WWE NXT” providing the first look at WWE’s presentation of Brian Pillman Jr. Though he didn’t go as far as to confirm his full ring name, leaving out the rumored “Lexis” first name for now, the video does include Pillman revealing his new surname and the logic behind the change. After the show, the WWE star took to X to further explain himself.

The video shows former AEW star Pillman watching highlights of his father’s WWE career. Over the footage, short audio clips described the late Pillman Sr. as “crazy,” “unpredictable,” and more.

“My father was one of the most infamous superstars in this business,” Pillman says in the video. “Everywhere I go, people stop to tell me, ‘Man, I loved your dad. Such a trailblazer, he was.’ It seems like everybody has such fond memories of my father. Well, you know who doesn’t? Me — his own damn son.”

Pillman pointed out that he was only 4 years old when his father died. Additionally, the 30-year-old stated that wrestling was one of the last things he thought he’d ever want to do. However, despite earning a college degree and trying his hand at other sports, Pillman said that he keeps finding himself drawn to pro wrestling.

“I’ve got no choice but to inflict pain on the very business that has brought me so much grief,” Pillman continued. “But when they see this face, I don’t want them to think about my dead father. I want them to think about me. I’m nobody’s junior, and from this day forward, I’m going to take on the last name of the real man who raised me — the real father figure in my life — and his name was King. And now, so is mine.”

WWE Seemingly Confirms The Undertaker Is Coming To WWE NXT Next Week

On Friday, we reported here on eWn that The Undertaker was expected to be in Orlando, FL next Tuesday for the WWE NXT TV tapings. While it wasn’t confirmed whether he’d be appearing on the show or not, it now appears that he will be.

On this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, a promo to promote next Tuesday’s show saw a Pub Rules Challenge match between Tyler Bate and Butch vs. Gallus being announced, as well as the previously announced matches being hyped up. At the end of the promo, The Undertaker’s gong hit.

Next week’s episode of WWE NXT will be going head-to-head with AEW Dynamite due to an MLB Playoff game airing on TBS.

John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Paul Heyman And Asuka Set For Next Week’s NXT

No fewer than four huge names on the WWE main roster will be headed to “WWE NXT” next Tuesday as the show goes head-to-head against “AEW Dynamite.” In addition to Asuka, who will be wrestling Roxanne Perez on the show, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and Paul Heyman will all be appearing in what has to be considered the most star-studded “NXT” event of all time.

Cena will be in former “NXT” Champion Carmelo Hayes’ corner when he faces Bron Breakker, who, as it turnes out, will have Heyman in his corner. Cena is currently involved in a feud with the Bloodline and will face Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso in tag team action alongside LA Knight at the Fastlane premium live event on Saturday. As for Rhodes, he’s set to make “a major announcement,” but what exactly Cody wants to talk about has not been revealed.

“NXT” will go up against “Dynamite” on AEW President Tony Khan’s birthday, on what Khan is calling “Title Tuesday.” Only one match has been announced for the show so far, but it’s a big one: Adam Copeland, formerly known as Edge in WWE, will be making his in-ring AEW debut on the Tuesday edition of “Dynamite” against Luchasaurus. WWE’s recent strategy of infusing “NXT” broadcasts with main roster talent like Dominik Mysterio and Becky Lynch has paid off in ratings numbers that rival the ones “Dynamite” gets on Wednesdays; as a result, these announcements can safely be read as an attempt by WWE not only to counter-program “Title Tuesday” (and Copeland’s debut) but to beat “Dynamite” in the ratings for the first time since the heyday of the “Wednesday Night War.”
