“BREAKING NEWS: One of the newest @WWEPC recruits @RealMMartinez, will be in the ‘Battle Royale’ to determine the #1 Contender for @RheaRipley_WWE’s #WWENXT Women’s Championship on TOMORROW’s @WWENXT! #WWEBackstage”

Mercedes just arrived to the WWE Performance Center yesterday along with a recruit class that also included top independent star Jake Atlas so it’s quite the speedy turnaround for Martinez. She did compete previously in NXT as a participant in the two previous Mae Young Classic tournaments.
