In this episode of the WrestleTalk News, Randy Orton’s shoot comments on Brock Lesnar’s current drug scandal, and a big NXT debut at WWE’s Battleground pay per view.
Big NXT Debut at WWE Battleground
Our top story today is Randy Orton’s shoot comments on the Brock Lesnar drug test controversy, but first – a big debut happened at last night’s Battleground pay per view…so yeah, spoilers ahoy.
Battleground started with Charlotte and Dana Brooke vs Sasha Banks and her mystery partner – who turned out to be, as we all hoped, beloved NXT wrestler Bayley. Complete with wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men for her entrance.
But this doesn’t necessarily mean Bayley is now on the main roster.
In their post-match promo, Bayley said: “It was a one-time thing for tonight. I am focused on reclaiming the NXT Women’s Championship.” Which she’ll be taking on current champion Asuke for atNXT Takeover: Back to Brooklyn next month.
However, at the end of the interview, Sasha did tease that ‘anything can happen in the WWE’, to which Bayley responded by pointing at the two of them and saying “tag champs”.
The Boss and Hug Connection might be coming to WWE in the near future. And considering the live reaction Bayley received, as well as the merchandise opportunities she offers – like wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men – expect that to be nearer than you think.
