Another Surprise Appearance On WWE Raw After WrestleMania 40

WWE

There was another surprise appearance on tonight’s WWE Raw after WrestleMania 40 (April 8) as another NXT champion popped up.

While NXT World Champion Ilja Dragunov appeared earlier in the show and won a match against Shinsuke Nakamura, he wouldn’t be the only NXT champion on deck.

In an innovative backstage segment, Rhea Ripley was shown first talking to Dominik Mysterio, then being attacked by Liv Morgan with Mysterio directly telling the camera to ‘get out of here’, leading to the camera leaving backstage for ringside.

Indi Hartwell was already in the ring for a match with Candice LeRae with LeRae seemingly trying to give Hartwell a last minute pep talk and being met by ‘Shut up!’ from Indi.

In the end her opponent would be revealed to be NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez.

The Prodigy would beat Hartwell in her WWE Raw match and then afterwards have a run in with Natalya.

Natalya told Roxanne Perez she would see her tomorrow night on NXT.
